Hello and welcome to our Whimsy Stamps "Spin on the Merry Go Round" blog hop! 

Today we are excited to share the new carousel horse release with you! Some of you may have seen some sneak peeks over the last couple of days, but if you missed them, no worries, you will get a chance to see all the new releases today! We have added 3 new rubber stamp sets to our Crissy Armstrong Collection...Proud Momma, Spring Stepping, and Wings of Hope! Each of these stamp sets includes a beautifully detailed carousel horse, coordinating flourish accessory, and some sentiment stamps.

If you are joining me from our new DT member, Chris's blog, you are in the right place. However, if you are just stopping in on our hop, you will want to take a spin back over to our Guest Designer Bev's blog for the start of the hop. Each of our Whimsy Designers have created beautiful projects to showcase these new stamps, you don't want to miss them! We also have a blog candy chance at the end of the hop! So be sure to leave everyone a little love and then enter the draw over on the Whimsy Stamps home page.

I've gone with the new set Proud Momma. I just love the beauty and sweetness of this image. All the pretty details and the areas to add pops of color make this image really fun to work with. I've colored with Copics and then added the flourish stamp to the edging and finished off with some Stickles. I framed the image with circle Nesties.

On the card, I used blue and yellow card stock with BasicGrey Lily Kate papers. I've stitched all the edges on my sewing machine. I've embellished with Prima flowers and cherry blossoms, a baby shoe charm and wire heart, buttons with ribbon, and a sentiment also from this stamp set.

This card also fits some challenges...
