MY CARDS:
On my first two cards, I used the gorgeous, Floral Centerpiece embossing folder, with a little Distress Ink blending on both. This first one also shows a sentiment from the Organic Fruits stamp set, and I used a sentiment from the, Family Headline stamp set on the second card.
I did some Alcohol Inking on my next card, with some muted, more masculine colors to showcase the fun, Papa die set.
The next two cards are completely different from each other but use the same stamp set. It's called, Organic Fruits. I love how this set was created for some fun, offset stamping, shown in this next card!
But as you can see, there are open fruit designs, along with some solid stamps, so I took the pear stamp and decided I wanted to do some water coloring with it too. Love a stamp set that gives you options! Both sentiments are included in the set.
Okay, so my last card has to be my fave because . . . .well . . . . flowers! Need I say more? It's the beautiful, Magnolia Background cling stamp and I had so much fun water coloring the images! And that sentiment is awesome, don't ya think? It's from the, You Shine die set and I love it!
That's a wrap from me! I hope I've given you some ideas on how to use some of the products from this fantastic release! Remember, this is day 1 of a 2-day blog hop, so be sure to stop by Simon's blog again tomorrow for tons more inspiration!
Next up on the hop is the very talented, Sandi MacIver.
