So, would you like to see this month's EXCLUSIVE stamp set?
Take a look! :)

What a beautiful stamp set to create with. The lovely flowers AND I adore the sentiments too! I like the design of script that they chose for these words.

When I created my project for today, I thought "wedding"...and this is the card I designed. :)

I used the card pattern design from CTMH's Make It From Your Heart book - pattern #27 in the volume 1 version.

This is a favorite - "go to" book, and I love that I can always get my basic card design created in a short amount of time.

Here's a close up of the flowers....

I stamped my flower with Memento ink on our watercolor paper. Next, I squeezed the lid and bottom of my Sea Glass ink pad together - then, opened it up. I now have beads of ink on the lid of my ink pad...perfect! I pulled out my blending pen....and "inked it up" from the lid of my ink pad, and started to color in my flower!

After the flower was dry, I went over a few of the petals with our clear shimmer pen and added sparkles to the center of the flowers. I also used my Silver Metallic pen, and outlines the White Daisy Cardstock center mat.

I used two paper packs...the Uptown Fundamentals...

...and the All About The Gold acetate sheets.

Did you notice, my acetate is NOT gold- hee, hee. When you turn it over on the other side, you have the same design in SILVER!! Give it a try!

The strip of "ribbon" is actually silver foil tape...however, in the photo it's showing up black...wouldn't this be pretty with black shimmer trim ? :)

I hope you are enjoying this blog hop & are getting LOTS of ideas for when you get your own set of this months’ SOTM stamp set. Happy Crafting to each of you!
