Happy Anniversary Meljen's - and a SALE

Hi ya everyone!!!
  We are having a blog hop at Meljen's Designs to celebrate a whole awesome year of Meljen's Stamps - that's right it's Melissa's one year anniversary!!  Woo HOO - you know what that means you have a chance to win three free images of your choice - and three winners will be chosen!  In order to qualify you have to leave comments on each post throughout the hop.  Aside from prizes that will be chosen on Monday on the Meljen's Design Blog you will get inspired by some of these AWESOME creations from the Design Team.  The best part is you will see images of Melissa's that you might have forgotten about or not have seen if you recently just started checking out the Meljen's Design store!
You should have come here from the FABULOUS Marlena's blog!  Wasn't her project Gorgeous!! Marlena can work a Copic for sure!  Now, for my project I chose three separate images.  That's one of the coolest things about Meljen's digis - they can coordinate.  Here you will see what three separate images can look like together!
 I initially used my Gypsy and Expressions to cut out a base for my card.  Since my images I chose included mushrooms I decided it would be really cute to have a mushroom based card.  I used the cartridge from Cindy Loo and welded three mushroom shadows together flipping the middle image to give some variety.  I did a lot of measuring so that I had a 5x7 card in the end.
 Next, I colored my images (click on image for store location): Toadstool Buggies, Mushroom Mouse, and Garden Bird House with my Copics.  I chose bright colors to give my card a spring feel.  Working around the mushrooms and the bright red.
 Once the image was colored I used a jar and drew a circle about the size I needed around the image.  I then used my micro tipped scissors to cut it out.
 I did the same with a sheet of black cardstock for a background.  I assembled the card popping out images here and there.  I added some butterfly punches as well.

Now you should head to the bubbly and creative Nicole's Blog!  See what fabulousness she has cooked up for you!
NOW DON'T FORGET ABOUT THE SALE AT MELJEN'S SECTION AT THE WHIMSY STAMP SHOP - HERE!  CAN YOU BELIEVE ALL DIGITAL STAMPS ARE 50% OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  YOU ONLY HAVE APRIL 1ST THROUGH THE 4TH!

    What a fantastic card - it's just adorable. Love the custom made Mushroom Card base. I have a few Meljen digistamps and my favourite is Girl and her Overalls, she's a bit of a tomboy and reminds me of me when I was young.
