More Flourishes

More Flourishes to see some different looks.  

This card also contains another technique with the Irresistibly Floral DSP.  With this piece I used the new Sponge Brayers and Rich Razzleberry Ombre Stampin' Pad.  Can you see the fading from light to dark that the ink pad created?

Irresistibly Floral Designer Series Paper

This is one of the "hidden" items in the catalog.  You can't see it very well as it looks like white paper, but it has embossing on the sheets that when ink is applied, it resists.  To see this, I have stamped the flower from Flourishing Phrases on top of the paper, then wiped off the ink on the embossed area, and you can see the different designs pop up on the paper!  Watch for more ways to use this gourgeous paper.

Flourish Thinlits

The NEW Flourish Thinlits are very detailed, and look great!  The flowers are beautiful and I can't wait to cut some out in every color.

Life is Messy

From the Pretty Kitty stamp set, this is one of my favorite stamps.  How cute is this little kitty that is caught in a snag.

Pretty Kitty

The Cat lover in my house had this set tagged right away as a must have.  It is very cute and has several fun sayings to go along with it.  I used the aqua painter to add some color, and was very pleased with the final result. How cute.

Sitting Here with the New Catalog

If you have not received your New Catalog, it is now live online and you can place an order from it.  Sitting Here is a new set in the catalog, and it is a fun set with lots of detail, and coloring.  Coloring books seem to be the hit right now, and as a stamper, I think I already knew that it was the thing to be doing.  This a great set to get out the markers, or your choice of coloring tools, and have some relaxing times coloring.
