The Craft's Meow June Release Blog Hop

Hello!  Thank you for sticking around this week for all of the previews of these fabulous stamp sets!  If you are participating in the hop, you should have arrived from Karen Baker's fabulous blog, if not go here for all of the details.  




For my final project, I used Nina's Stitched Flowers and Stitched Sentiments and created a masculine hello card.  To start, I stamped the branches and colored the leaves in with a dark green Copic marker.  I then stamped the sentiment and colored it in with a white gel pen, accenting the leaves with the pen as well.


I hope you are as excited about this months release as I am!  Such fun stamp sets!  If you would like a chance to win all six sets, leave a comment on each members blog.  You have until Sunday June 24th to do so.  Also, the set Summer Fun is the free gift with purchase if you spend $50 or more.

Now, head on over to see the talented Nina Brackett, and as always, thank you so much for stopping by!




Supplies:
Paper: Kraft Hallo's Papercraft
Stamps: Stitched Sentiments, Stitched Flowers The Craft's Meow
Ink: Tuxedo Black Tsukineko, Copic Marker
Embellishment: Twine The Ribbon Carousel
Tools: Corner Rounder WRMK, White Gel Pen Sakura
