Hi Friends,

WOW!! last week was so exciting with the launch of our new annual catalog.  I hope you have had a chance to take a look at it.  Today I will be sharing a fabulous card using one of the new stamp sets from the catalog.  When I saw it I knew it was a must-have and on the top of my list!!  It’s the Flowering Blooms bundle.

I stamped the image on our Shimmery White card stock using Versamark Ink and then embossed it using Clear Embossing Powder.  I prefer our Shimmery White cardstock for watercoloring but you have to be very careful.  It will not do as well with the water as our watercolor paper.  I also got to use our new Water Painters.  I was very impressed!! If you have trouble opening them (I did).  I will let you in on a little secret, they open by turning them in the opposite direction then you would normally think to turn them.  I had to call demo support because I could not get mine open!!

I then used my Magenta Madness & Coastal Caban re-inkers to color the background and the flower.  I stamped another flower so I could die cut it out.  I used the Playing With Patterns Ribbon Combo Pack to add that little extra bling in the background.  I die cut the label for the sentiment using the Hippo & Friends Dies.  The dies coordinate with the Hippo Happiness stamp set.  I LOVE these dies!! I stamped the sentiment using Versamark Ink and then used White Embossing Powder.
