Thanks for joining us for this month’s Touches of Ink Blog Hop. This is a fun hop – it focuses on suites and/or bundles. We don’t discuss what we are going to be using for the hop which means that everyone will use something different, or we might all decide that we want to use the same products!
I fell and cracked my knee cap a few weeks ago, so everything has been hard and I haven’t been very creative for the past little while. For today’s hop I decided that I would share a card that I made3 for my upcoming tutorial bundle. We are using the Holly Jolly Branches for this tutorial. This is one of my cards in this tutorial

The Whispering Woods DSP is a match made in heaven with this bundle. If you like this card and would like the tutorial bundle, click here for all the information about it.
Next up is Sharni Green. Hop over to see what bundle she has used for this hop.
