 The special stamp set we have for you this month is:
"Dino News"




 The mini stamp set we have for you this month is
"Dragonflies"     
Today'set is a really cute one, perfect for summer.  Its called "Shello":


I decided to pull out my sparkly water colour paints and came up with two cards:









Its hard to see in the pictures but the paint is really sparkly.  I embossed the images because it resists the paint really well, and I love the gems with the paint.  There is no such thing as too much sparkle! :)

This set was really fun to work with, but of course this isn't the only set Mark's Finest Papers offers.  You can find this month's sets along with many other beautiful sets at the Mark's Finest Papers Store.  In the meantime, why not have a look and see what the other design team members have to offer?  The lovely Toni is next on the hop, but if you haven't visited the other designers I really encourage you to visit everyone.  There is lots of inspiration to be had!  See you tomorrow for day #!  :)

    Cathy, your turtle colors are so realistic on both cards! The paint give off a bit of texture too! Stunning cards! I wish I had thought to add some sparkling jewels! I will have to remember to place my flags like you did on the inside, love that look! Two fabulous cards!

    Great cards. I love them both but the second is my favourite as your colouring of the cute turtle is just fantastic.
