Hello and Welcome to the YNS May Release Blog hop!! This release is BEYOND adorable, I love absolutely everything about it.

For both of my projects today, I am featuring the super cute stamp set....

Little Darling Rapunzel

I also used the new Candy Topper Die.

For my first creation I decided to use my new Spectrum Aqua markers, I love the look of this scene in water colors. I am still getting the hang of them and know there is definitely room for improvement.

I used a Fiskars boarder punch and added some, American crafts glitter tape and jute with a handmade resin flower.

For my second project I made a simple little girly goodie bag, using one of the sentiments from the same stamp set and the Candy topper die. I used some Embossing paste and then sprinkled with some sparkly pink glitter.
