Here's my first card. Love that girl with the stack of presents. This is my favorite stamp in the entire catalog. The image can be used for so many different occasions. Birthday? Wedding? Bridal shower? Baby shower? Basically, anything festive! I chose to leave it sentiment-less just so I have it on hand for the next occasion -- whatever it may be! And that chevron background stamp is a must-have! Quick and easy and adds a modern touch to the card. The girl is colored in with Copic markers.



Stamps: (Zig Zag CG422, For You Gifts G5596) Hero Arts


For the second card, I decided to go CAS, with a little touch of detail. I pulled out my all-time favorite sentiment stamps from Hero Arts for this. I used Prismacolor pencils to color the flower in. Also, it's hard to tell from the photo but it sparkles a bit. I diluted a dab of shimmery Luminarte paint with water and just lightly painted on top of the colored image. It gives off a subtle, pretty sheen.



Stamps: (Fleurettes K5597, Thoughtful Messages CL184) Hero Arts


Alright, that wraps it up from me. I had a lot of fun with these new stamps. Beautiful and versatile images that can be used over and over again for many occasions!

So, are you ready for one more? The last and final stop of the hop is Jenny Suchin!
