You Are Dill-ightful!

 When Concord and 9th announced they were making a pickle themed stamp set, I set my alarm to add that baby to my cart the moment it was released!

Today I'm sharing my card created with the Dill-ightful stamps and dies...

I am a pickle fan and you will never catch me asking for "no pickles" on anything I'm ordering at a restaurant! The jar was put together in this order:

1. Stamp the jar with embossing ink and emboss with Brass powder.

2. Stamp the background of the jar with Powder ink.

3. Stamp the background of the pickle inside the jar with Parsley and then ink the edges in Artichoke.

4. Stamp the pickle outline stamp with embossing ink and emboss with Brass powder,

5. Stamp the solid lid image in Pebble. Then stamp the outline in embossing ink, and emboss with Silver powder.

6. Die cut the jar and the lid!

I also immediately fell in love with the Speckled Turnabout Stamp and this is my first time using it. I used this stamp for the background and inked it with Lemongrass, Avocado, Grasshopper, and Sprout.

Before gluing the jar to the background, I cut some dill sprigs and added them behind the jar.

This card was sent to a birthday boy who I've been told is a fan of pickles!

Spring Meadow Release is Live

 There's a beautiful new collection out from Hero Arts called Spring Meadow. New dies, new stamps, new stencils... oh my!!

I have been making cards in sets of two lately, so this little card duo features the No One Lilac You set. Both flower images were colored with watercolors. I also used the new Birdsong Script cling stamp on the background of both cards. I absolutely looove myself a good scripty background! It can be used for literally any occasion.

Each card also has the flower image matted against an Arches Infinity Die, which I also splattered with White Acrylic speckle paint.

The stamp of the jar of flowers includes two different dies for it - you can cut the entire image as one, or you just cut the jar or just the flower bunch. I did the separate die cut and popped the flowers with foam.

Thanks for stopping by! I have a lot more to share coming up using this brand new collection! Some links are affiliates at no cost to you. Thanks for your support!

My Monthly Hero Release - In Full Bloom

 It's the 1st of February so it must be time for a new My Monthly Hero release! Not to pressure you or anything, but last month the kit sold out in like two days... so don't sit on it and subscribe!

The kit this month will absolutely scratch your spring itch and your Easter needs. This card just uses the My Monthly Hero kit (not even the Super Hero!) and there is a whole loaded flower die kit included, plus sweet bunny and flower stamps. It really is perfect!

I made two mini cards (3.5" x 4.75") with all of the flowers I die cut from the kit. I wanted the flowers to shine, so I paired them with simple backgrounds using the Arches Infinity Dies for one and the Circle Infinity Dies for the other.

 My third card today uses the layering stencils and the stamp set included in the main kit. I will admit, I did cheat a little and used the cute grass border die included with the My Monthly Super Hero Kit.

I blended the stencils using Hero Arts inks in Thistle, Cornflower, Green Apple, and Butter Bar. The bunny and flower were colored with my Copic Markers.
