If you have arrived from Betty's blog you are right on track.

 

I’m trying to use as many stamp as I can lately…reason – because, it’s coming to the end of the season when so many stamp sets are retiring!  While this can be sad…it makes me happy too – because that means NEW goodies are coming our way!! Yay!!

So…let’s take a peek at today’s card.

I ADORE the Hawiian Hibiscus card, and actually had a lot of fun coloring the flowers too!!

But first – I used our FABULOUS Make It From Your Heart, vol 2 how-to-book for this card design.  These sketches are a PERFECT starting point!!  For this card, I turned pattern #23 a quarter turn.

The stamp set I used is called “Hawaiian Hibiscus ”, and will be one that retires on August 31, 2016. I also used the M-size stamp – “Bitty Birthdays” and this one retires at the same time too!

Let’s take a closer look…

Do you see the beautiful black, glossy, designed paper?   This square of paper is from our Fundamentals collection. (retiring July 31, 2016) and the green designer paper comes from the Calypso paper (retiring August 31, 2016 or while supplies last).

I used our FABULOUS alcohol markers – created by ShinHan – and LOVE the blending these markers produce!    

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you were inspired to check out this beautiful stamp set! J
