Good Morning!! If you came here for the Inky Impressions Hop, you are in the right place. If you came here for the Wags n Whiskers Sneak Peak or Flutter by Challenge, please scroll down to the next post.

Happy Hump Day Everyone!! I am so excited today as it is our New Release Blog Hop for Inky Impressions. The team has lots of fun creations to share with you. If you came here from Kim Y.'s Blog, you are in the right place, if not, you may want to start at the beginning because there is a prize along the way and you must leave comments for all the dt in order to qualify.

All you have to do for a chance to win the candy is leave a comment on each blog along the way and leave a comment on the Inky Impressions blog letting us know you completed the hop before Tuesday, April 6 at Midnight EST.

Today I have the honor of sharing Nikki's Birdie with you....If you loved Shy Little Nikki as I do, you will adore this one.

I colored my image with water colors, cut her out and popped her up on dimensionals on a dry embossed background framed by my new Spellbinders Lotus die. The dp is Basic Grey Lily Kate. The flowers are prima dandies that I added crystal affects and glitter to, ZVA Creative flourishes and some purple mini roses from ZVa Creative. Isn't the bird charm darling, these are some new charms that Nicole will be carrying in her store!! I just love this bird!!

I just want to keep this short and sweet so you can get on with the hop. You next stop will be the ever so talented and sweet Jackie.

Oh...and for some more awesome news... Nicole is offering a 15% discount from now until midnight eastern time on Friday, April 2 on all orders!! Just mention Blog Hop Discount in your comments at checkout. This is an incredible deal and you don't want to miss out!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by and for your sweet comments!!

blessings,

Chris
