TSG Under The Weather Blog Hop!!

Tuesday, February 22, 2011

Welcome to the first blog hop for the March There She Goes releases!

Today the Jessica and us Trendsetters are showcasing a fabulous new set called Under The Weather by TSG's newest illustrator! If you've hopped here from Natalie's fabulous blog, then you're on the right track, but if you haven't and would like to play along with us, just hop on back to the TSG blog and start your ride there. Remember, you could win one of these sets just by hopping with us today!

We are so happy to be introducing a new artist joining the TSG team…please welcome MELYSSA CONNOLLY! You may know her artwork from her wildly popular Whimsie Doodles’ store, and she has been gracious enough to design this playful and spring-filled stamp set. Whimsical images, borders, and sentiments included on one fabulous set! You’ll never feel blue or under the weather using this adorable addition to the TSG roll call!


Under The Weather is a 4x8 stamp set that includes a total of 25 stamps and will sell for $18.

How adorable is this little girl?! And wait until you see the whole set - you're going to LOVE it! As with all of the TSG sets, there's lots of background stamps, accessories and sentiments to choose from! I used my Spellbinders Labels One Nestibilities to create the back panel, then I colored up the little girl with my reinkers and aquapainter brush, cut her out and popped her up on dimensionals. The sentiment banner is actually covering up my first attempt at adding the sentiment! You'd think I'd know by now not to stamp the sentiment on busy patterned paper, but I still do and immediately regret it! It got a little lost on that October Afternoon 'Thrift Store' paper, so I stamped it again on some cardstock and laid it over the top. Phew! :)

I know you're loving all the sneak peeks, right? This team really does ROCK! Remember to leave a comment on each of the blogs today to be in the running to win yourself this fabulous! Thanks so much for hanging out with me today and I hope to see you all hopping along with us tomorrow for our second sneak peek! :)
