It's the fourth Wednesday of the month (where has February gone?!) so its time for the unveiling of the new release digital stamps at Dude Time Doodles. And when it is new release day, its also the BLOG HOP!!
I've used Ollie Octupus and coloured him with Promarkers and yes, you've guessed it - glossy accents! In fact it looks pretty much like he's just jumped out of the sea and onto my wobble card! If you like the look of Ollie and any of the other digi stamps you see on your travels, simply pop over to the shop and purchase!!
The sentiment has been cut using my Baby Face alphabet set from Cuttlebug and the number 8 is Sizzix Round-a-Bout alphabet dies and they have been coated with glossy accents too!
Ollie has been layered onto a plain blue background and then onto the spotty green background - both are papers from Craft The Year Away from Funky Hand. A bit of doodling around the edge and its complete!
Oh, and Ollie wobbles too! I felt quite indulgent the other day (well, just bought some right bargains in the craft section - some paper packs reduced to 99p!) when I was in The Range so the pack of Papermania card springs fell into my basket!
Right, onto the blog hop! If you've arrived at me from Cleota then you are doing just fine! But you can start anywhere and as long as you go full circle and leave comments at each stop, then you could be a lucky winner! One of the Design Team will be the mystery hostess - if my name is picked then you could be picked as the winner from all my comments on this post! So after me, you need to hop to Hetty.
As this post goes live at 2am all the links in the hop may not yet be fully linked as we do like to make it easy for you and link directly to each post so you don't have to scroll through millions of posts. So once I'm up and suitably awake, I'll link Cleota and Hetty with their direct blog hop post. If you click and the links are fine - just ignore me!

ReplyDeleteGreat card Ruth, Ollie looks like he just stepped out of the ocean. Some lucky eight-year old is going to love receiving the fabulous card.
ReplyDeleteThis is FABULOUS!! I love that you chose him for an 8th birthday and his wobbly and sparkly bits are AWESOME!!!
ReplyDeleteHow cool that Ollie wobbles back and forth. Bet he looks awesome in person. What a fun birthday card.

ReplyDeleteYou octopus is colored up so nicely - and the background looks great with all of its lushness!

ReplyDeleteWow, great coloring and effects on Ollie. He even looks a bit sparkly. I like the way you cut him out on the blue paper. Thanks for your inspiration. Great card. Duh, I just get it.
