Watercolor Wings

 
The “Watercolor Wings” stamp set and coordinating Bold Butterfly Framelits garnered a  big oooooooooh when I first flipped through the pages of the new catalog, so of course it had to be one of the first things on my wish list.
 
 
 You may be thinking, “I don’t need another Butterfly stamp set and framelit, because I’ve got the Butterfly Basics Bundle from the Occasions catalog (which by the way is in this catalo too for those of you who haven’t snatched it up yet).
Well, let me just tell you how sweet and adorable this bundle is and it works fabulously with the Butterfly Basics bundle when you do some layering with the variety of butterflies.  So, go ahead…add it to your wish list.
These Delightful Dijon butterflies are perched on a brick wall created from the Brick Wall Embossing folder… How cute is that?
 
 


A Must Have Hostess Set

How about adding a must have Hostess Exclusive stamp set to your wish list?
 
 
 
The stamp set is called “Happy Birthday, Everyone”  and it has beautiful fonts in the main happy birthday sentiment.  Then there are a number of different combinations you can add to the happy birthday like “to a good friend” or “to an amazing woman”.  Its super versatile and allows you to personalize every hand made card you send.  The card base is Delightful Dijon which was embossed with the Tiny Triangles Embossing Folder.  Strips of the Bohemian DSP are added for a splash of color and the card is “blinged out” with rhinestones and one of the In Color Blossom Accents.

And now for a little stamping inspiration….
 
 
The flower image from “You’ve Got This” is stamped in Versa Mark and heat embossed with White Embossing Powder.  The burnishing technique is achieved by inking up a sponge dauber and rubbing it on the card stock directly over the embossed image.  The embossed part resists the ink leaving the super cool look.  The flower comes to life with Watermelon Wonder, Mint Macaron, and Delightful Dijon.
