Stately Flowers 12


 Here is a card I have for today:


I first stamped the floral image with versamark and then heat embossed it with white.  I then used my Distress Crayons and a baby wipe to make the background in shades of blue!  Super easy and fun!   Down below you can see other cards I made with this set and showed at the Release Party!

Next up is Beth's new set, Emmy and Riley Flamingos!


Ohhh my is this a cute set or what?  So fun to work with!  Here is what I have for today:

A super simple card, CAS!  I stamped the bird onto Innocent Pink cardstock from Gina K Designs and then just colored with Prisma colored pencils.  He/she is too cute!  And one more with this set:




 For this card I just repeated the image stamping with versamark ink.  I did not emboss it, just left it like a watermark.  And that saying cracks me up!  LOL!

 OK! Thats all from me today!  You should have came from Beth Silaika's Blog to my blog, and next up would be Donna Idlet's Blog  Here is a list of all of the blogs:



Thanks sooo much for stopping by today!  Be sure to come on back tomorrow (and next day) for more inspiration and eye candy!
