Hey Ya'll!! Welcome to our first day of inspiration for this April Release....the party last night was a blast...Gina had us bare all!! haha! I enjoyed chatting with so many of you! So now, we have some gorgeous eye candy for you...and dont forget to comment on all the blogs, cause Gina will be giving away some of these gorgeous stamp sets, choosing from randomly from all the blogs and comments!
Up first we have Garden Silhouettes, the new One Free With Three set! Here is my card with this one for today:
I stamped this image on vellum, did a cut out window on my card base and attached the vellum on the backside. I think this looks kinda folk-artsy with that dp on it and the twine! This is one of those handy sets to have, so many different things to do with this set!!
Up next is a stamp set called Timeless Textures...and just as the name says, WONDERful textures to give your background, just by stamping! Here is my creation, I combined another image from Garden Silhouettes with it too:
I did the emboss resist technique on this one, FUN!! And that textured background gives it just the look I wanted!
Ok, ready for more eye candy? Here are the links to my fellow DT participating today:
