Ok, Friday evening I slipped on the tile (DO NOT WEAR SOCKS ON TILE) and caught myself with my right hand. Stupid idea. Turns out it is just badly sprained. But I bet you didn’t realize how much you use your wrist/arm muscles in stamping! Seriously - you really do! Anyway - that’s my PSA for today: NEVER wear socks on tile floors!
And now for a card - this color combo….let’s just say I am less than sure about it. But this stamp set is gorgeous! Y’all love Mel’s flowers - and you’re going to adore this set! And I adore that it has a sentiment that says “Praise the Lord”!
This uses the new cardstock shades Lemon Drop and Lovely Lavender. I have been using Almost Amethyst ink with the lavender - it’s the closest match I had on hand. I inked the stamps then spritzed them with water and stamped. Topped it off with some sparkly stickles!
Start with the Illustrator’s blog Melanie Muenchinger and then visit these designer’s blogs for even more samples with this stamp set and Rupa Shevde’s O Baby Stamp set as well!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, you’re making me “need” Pressed Flowers!
I hope your hand/wrist feel better quickly. Yes .. it’s amazing how often we use those muscles in stamping/crafting.

pretty!
have to tell om myself, I fell in the parking garage at school last night (cement parking thing) - I was walking distracted checking out my phone and wasn’t paying attention. I fell on both my knees and my arms - banged up pretty good and SORE. I was so embarrassed! Be careful.

The flowers truly look like they have be water colored. There is a softness to the flowers ans it make the overall look of the card special!
