Here is a look at this month's EXCLUSIVE stamp set!! 💗

A pretty floral stamp set, but I believe my FAVORITE part of this stamp is the beautiful font lettering!!

Here is my card I designed using this stamp set.😍

What fun, to have a BRAND NEW, Make It From Your Heart How-To Book & if you know me...I had to pull it out and use it right away!!😊

This is card pattern #27 from our volume 5 book & was so EASY to create!

Did you know---we, at CTMH, have a BRAND NEW catalog that was just released TODAY?? (check it out HERE)

The paper I used, was one of our BEAUTIFUL new papers, called "Hillside Cottage".

Here's a look at this pretty paper pack!

I chose to stamp the flower image in Intense Black Ink & then used my Tri-Blend Markers to color them in!!💗

If you haven't tried these markers...they are AMAZING!! There are 3 different colors in ONE marker--they are fabulous & make me feel like I really know how to color, because they blend so well!

If you look closely, you may see that in the middle of the flowers, I went over that solid color with the BLACK Shimmer Brush. It's so pretty to see that sparkle in person!

Did you notice the subtle, dotted background on this card?

I created that by stamped 2nd generation black. After the ink was dry---I came back with the lovely Ballerina - Liquid Pearl to add some fun dimension to this card.

Another "quick addition" that adds SO MUCH---add stitched lines with your journaling pen! 😍

My final touch was a touch of Blue Belle Shimmer Trim & a couple Blue Belle pearls. I'm not sure WHY the camera didn't pick up the pretty blue color!

What a FUN, FUN card to create!!
