i'm SO excited to take part in the Your Next Stamp March Release Blog Hop!
all of these stamps are AMAZING! i have already had a blast creating with them, and I know you will too! I can't wait to add some of these stamps into my scrapbook pages too! i just LOOOOOVE those palm trees from the Vacation Phoebe stamp set!
and guess what? you can get these new sets on SALE!!!
wow - a new release on sale - BEST NEWS EVER! ha ha!
for my card i HAD to use those palm trees!
i colored them in with Distress Markers and then fussy cut them out! for the background, i watercolored the background with Distress Inks - Chipped Sapphire and Peacock Feathers. once it was dry, i heat embossed in clear many of the other images/phrases from the stamp set in clear! then i spritzed with the card front with water and took away even more of the background so the clear embossing would really stand out!
so fun! and now for even MORE fun: be sure to hop along for your chance to win a $25 Your Next Stamp gift certificate! um, yeah! that's exciting! :) all you have to do is leave a comment for your chance to win!
