*From the Heart: Birthday Blog Hop

We are celebrating birthdays today!

As you hop along, please leave a comment on each entry. 
One random commenter will be selected on each blog to win the image that the designer used. And additionally, one commenter on the From the Heart Stamps Blog will be selected to win a $5 gift voucher to the store!

We are also having a little word search today. As you stop on each blog collect the special letter they have for you. Put the letters together for a message. 
Everyone who figures out the message can use it as a code to receive 50% off of one image in the birthday section of the FTHS shop. The code will be good until Monday Nov. 4th at 6 am, EST. 


My letter for you is:
 “H”
If you have arrived from Dee's Blog, you are in the right place!!! 
 Didn't you just love her card...and I love the technique she shared too!! 
If I am your first stop, you may want to start at the From the Heart Stamps blog, so you don’t miss anything.
For my card today, I am using "Birthday Pickup"
I colored this cool image with my Copic markers.
Paper pad is MME: Lime Twist: Fly A Kite
And my loved embossing folder is by Darice: Stars
I followed the sketch from STS, but very loosely. 

Now head over to Imke's blog and see her beautiful card...Love her coloring and card design. 

Thanks for hopping with us today. 
The hop will end on Monday November 4th at 6am, EST. 
Winners will be posted on the From the Heart Stamps Blog on Wednesday November 6th.

I would like to share this card in the following challenge:
STS #7

Hugs,
Calypso

    Another winning card - your talent never ceases to amaze me. I love how you made the balloon look transparent and the way the colors overlapped looking so lifelike. So glad you are part of the FTHS DT - I always look forward to seeing your creations! Dee
