 I am so honored to be part of this crazy, crafty team of beautiful artists.  I know you'll find such beautiful inspiration along the way!  Here's what I created:


I used the fabulous Dare 2B Artzy - Happiness Blooms stamp set along with some Heartfelt Creations Delicate Asters collection paper.  The stamps are stamped with Dare 2B Artzy black ink and are colored with Copic markers.  (This ink is FaB - can use water or alcohol markers!)  Here's a close-up of that beautiful flower:


I stamped it three times, colored them, and then fussy cut them.  I then popped layers to add the dimension!  Fun, fun, fun to color this beautiful detailed flower!

It's so much fun to color, in fact, that I'm going to show off a second card:


The background is Tim Holtz Distress ink and some splatters of Mr. Huey's ink.  Such a fun and versatile set!

Your next stop in the hop is Kel's blog! Here's the whole hop order in case you get lost along the way:

We hope you are inspired all along the way!

Happy Hopping!

Craftily yours,
