We have two stamps sets to showcase for you today. First up is Melanie Muenchinger's newest set called, Pretty Patterns 2...and oh my! the possibilities with this set are endless!! Here is what I have for you today:
I used the chevron pattern and stamped then cut 1/2" strips and did this off-setting pattern...(there is a name for it and my cold infected brain cannot remember at the moment! LOL) I was needing a masculine card for a friend, thus no ribbon and the gears! I also used Carolyn King's newest set , Stamp it Big 2, the Hello, for the sentiment. We will be showcasing her set later in the week!
Next up is Becky Oehlers' newest set called Bold Blooms... And this is another set that has all kinds of possibilities!! Here is one I have for today:
For this card, I was playing around with ink sprays. I stamped the big flower in white and also embossed it with white embossing powders. Then I spritzed some sprays onto a craft sheet and dipped my stamped image into all the inks. It sparkles really nice IRL! I then made the background by using images from the same set, and I doodled the black lines on.
Ok, ready for some awesome eye candy? Here are the links to my fellow DT...I'm sure you will not be disappointed!
