Stampin' With Michelle Pepper

As promised, albeit late, show casing the Friday night girls' creations. The one above is by Ana. Gotta love them jewel rhinestones for covering up smudges or unwanted ink spots! That trick never fails :-) Irene's: Let me now introduce the newest member of my Stampin' Family, Juliet Hope.  I am so excited, and Juliet is so excited too, so we're in for a good time!

Margarita's: Rachel's #1, followed by #2 when she experimented with Daffodil Delights/Pumpkin Pie combo - just stunning! Didn't they do well? I love their individual spin on the original card.

Of the 11 incredibly irresistible FREE Sale-A-Bration (SAB) items to choose from, the Lotus Blossom stamp set was one of the first ones I chose. This is a 3-step stampin blossom - and isn't the result amazing? This is one of the freebie items when you spend $110 during Sale-A-Bration time, until March 31st 2015. You can use the "stampin off" technique to create a depth of 3 colours by just using one colour, especially if it is a dark colour like the Blackberry Bliss, or as in my case above, I used 2 colours (Calypso Coral and Crisp Cantaloupe) to create the 3 colour look. The patterned paper I used here is from the new Stacked With Love DSP Stack from the new Occasions Catalogue . I also added the Gold Baker's Twine , just because I think the card deserves some gold :-) The sentiment is from a retired set named Well Scripted, which has my favourite birthday sentiment of all time. This is such a simple layout/sketch, and a great way to use all those patte...
