Friends 24-7

This stamp set is one of my favorites because you know I love floral stamp sets!  The designer series paper is Raspberry Tart which retired last month (boohoo).  I decided to use watercolor paper with this card.  I stamped the image with Black Stazon, then colored in the flowers with Regal Rose and Rose Red Stampin' Write Markers.  The leaves were colored in using a blender pen and Kiwi Kiss… Read More »

Animal Stories

This has got to be one of the cutest stamp sets from Stampin' Up! in a long time!  I love this stamp set and my preference is usually the flowery ones.  All the images are cute from the Giraffe to the Elephant to the Whale to the Owl (which I think is a cat!).

I used a blender pen and the Mambo Mellon Classic Ink Pad because I wanted a lighter touch on the flowers and the markers was too dark. I stamped the flower images on Whisper White card stock with Black Stazon.  I then colored… Read More »

Lovely Flowers

This is a very appropriate name for this Hostess Level 3 Lovely Flowers Bundle.  The designer series paper in the bundle is absolutely gorgeous! I used Splitcoast Stamper's Wednesday's Sketch SC233 for the layout.  It is so easy to make a card when I used a completed sketch from the vast resources out there on the internet. I used the designer series paper as the main focus on this card. … Read More »
