Ok, up today we have two new stamp sets...first up is Melanie Muenchinger's newest set called Stately Flowers 3...here is what I have done today with it:
I used that big ole gorgeous Magnolia bloom in the set...which is the state flower of Louisiana by the way, lol! I colored mine with a white prisma pencils after stamping onto kraft cardstock, love doing that, the coloring on kraft! I added dimension by stamping some extra petals and cutting those out and popping them up with dimensionals. Love this effect too! I am so loving Melanie's state flowers series of stamps! Such gorgeous flowers in them plus also learning a thing or two because I look everyone of them up to see how they are SUPPOSE to be colored! :D
Up next is the newest set by Rupa Shevde called Mehndi Wishes and here is my creation with this:
Before we received this set, I had to google 'Mehndi'...oh my goodness! what a beautiful form of artwork this is! I want to get some of the tattooing done on my foot now! I probably will this summer...and when I do, I will show a pic of it on my blog! I decided to use the horse image for this card and I could not get the idea of a carousel horse out of my head so this is what I went with! It is gold embossed and I used a paper drinking straw for the 'pole'.
