Here's a peek at the 2 NEW Incentive Sets to pick from for all qualifying orders!

Make sure to select your FREE Incentive Set with your $75 purchase from the pop-up window in order to receive it. You may need to make sure your pop-up blocker is turned off. There are coordinating dies are available for purchase for both of the incentive stamp sets.

----------

Card #1 - Sending Love & Hugs

Featuring Time to Bloom stamp set illustrated by Hannah Drapinski. A coordinating die set is available.

I started off with stamping one of the blooms onto an A2 Panel with Kraft ink using a Misti (don't remove stamp). I did this twice and then colored the blooms with Copic Markers. Next I placed the colored panels back into the Misti one at a time to stamp over the colored image with Black ink for a crisp black outline (make sure you line your image perfectly back into your Misti to ensure it stamps properly). For the background panel, stamp the bloom randomly to create your own black & white pattern paper. For finishing touches I added black splatter and white enamel dots.
