Mojo Monday 353 - Bloom with Hope


It has been awhile since a played with a current sketch, so I took the time to play with the Mojo Monday Sketch 353.  
I pulled out the Bloom with Hope Hostess Stamp Set.  I love to watercolor the images using my aqua painter and ink pads.  I was inspired to play with Blushing Bride and Pear Pizzazz.  I did use some of the retired Pear Pizzazz ruffled ribbon, I love that ribbon.


Let me know what you think!

Traveler meets the World


Here's a card I made using the Traveler and the World Map Stamp Sets.  I have been waiting to play with the World Map for a little while but just never got to it.  I think it works great with the Traveler and Postage Due Stamp Sets.  

I find due to the large size of the World Map - I find it easier to ink with the Stamp facing up and pressing the ink pad to the stamp front.  That way you can make sure all the ink gets on the stamp pad.  Everything is sponged with Baked Brown Sugar to give it that great antique look.  

Thanks for stopping by!
