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!
