2 Sketches 4 You - Laura's sketch 50

I have made 2 cards with Laura's sketch 50: Just purchased one of Hero Arts new Artist Proof stamps, Wild Flowers. Isn't this a pretty stamp and it has so many possibilities.This card is made with a new line of Basic Grey paper "Cappella". I love the soft, victorian feel of this paper and thought it worked great for a Mother's day card.

Items used: Hero Arts Wild Flowers and Manuscript stamps, Stampendous hand of friendship stamps, ribbons, pearls, MS punch, Fiskars punch, twine.

and another TY card....

I recently won blog candy from Barb Foster. Barb sent me a set of the cutest animal stamps and sentiments. I also received some lovely Autumn cards and a booklet kit w/ ribbons, chip board, etc. This is the first card I have made using these adorable stamps, this little turtle and little frog are so cute, I know they will appear in many of the cards I make.
Items used: TAC turtle stamp, button, Memory Box DP, linen thread, gems, Hero Arts flower, Fiskars punch.

Windy Thank You

I am making a baker's dozen of thank you cards for one of my co-workers. I love this little bicycle stamp from Rubber Soul and as Beth is an avid bike rider I thought she would really like this TY card.

Items used: Rubber Soul bicycle with flowers stamp, Hero Arts Arigato TY stamp, pearl and gems.

Poppies, I just love poppies

This Hero Arts poppy bunch stamp is only available at Michaels right now. The Hero Arts blog says this stamp will be available in the next release (think I have that right). Anyway, I love poppies, they are among my favorite flowers; so of course I had to rush out and get this lovely, long, gentle poppy stamp. The sentiment is from Crafty secrets. I added some lace, pearls and twine. Viola!!

Pretty new flower set

Since Spring has arrived this year, I realized I really didn't have too many flower stamps. Bird stamps, I have plenty, but flowers...
I purchased this Hero Arts set and am very happy with it. Used Cosmo Cricket paper for the flower and a Cuttlebug folder for the embossed background. Put a few gems on the flowers center and some twine too :)

Bird in a circle, my version

Hero Arts has some new stamps coming out this month called Artist Proofs. One of the new stamps is "Bird in a Circle". I was inspired to put this little number together when I saw this stamp.

The Artist Proofs stamps are wonderful, lot's of flower stamps. You can see them on the Stampin Treasures website.

Items used: Hero Arts manuscript background, scallop circle and bird trio stamps, SU flower stamp, gems, linen thread, inks and watercolor pencils.
