"Love Script"

 

The mini stamp set we have for you this month is

"Big Cupcake"
I have to say that I absolutely LOVE this new set by Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Company since it has so much potential.

My first card shows a classic black/white combination with a pop of color.  After stamping the small hummer image twice onto MFP white card stock in memento tuxedo black and coloring with prismacolor markers, I cut one image out to pop up later.  Once the coloring the was finished and layered, I added a background layer of SEI Black Orchid designer paper before adding ribbon, brads and then the popped up hummer image highlighted with ice stickles.

My second card shows a softer side with the set along with some Prima Botanical designer paper.  After stamping my image in memento tuxedo black onto MFP white card stock and colored with koh-i-noor pencils with a blender marker, I then lightly stippled some Tim Holtz tumbled glass distress ink around the image before layering.  The embellishments I decided to add were a key and lock brad set, ribbon, and some scrabble stickers spelling out LOVE.
 
Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day and don't forget to stop by the rest of the design team blogs to leave some love for a chance to win today's featured set.

Your first card is just stunning! I love the beautiful colored hibiscus against the black and white background! The botanical look of the background mauve paper in your second card really is a wonderful backdrop for the hummingbird and hibiscus image! Love the scrabble tile accents!
