Great Flowers is a beautiful floral set!  I stamped the image onto watercolor paper and colored it using watercolor crayons and small paintbrush.  I then highlighted some of the petals using a white gel pen.  I used spellbinder dies for the image, leafy flourish, and doily layer.  A blue adhesive pearl and green twine multi-loop bow used as embellishment.

For the beautiful Flower Blocks stamp set I created a sunburst side panel using black, white and gray patterned paper strips; the image was stamped using versamark ink and embossed using detail black embossing powder.

Please hop along with us! You have a chance to win one of the above stamp sets! Just comment on the following blogs (don't forget this one), each day for more chances to win! (You do NOT have to comment on all the blogs each day! The names are drawn randomly!) All six winners will be announced on
