 The mini stamp set we have for you this month is:
Wise Men
                                                      

Today's set, called "Huge Blooms", is a lovely one..  Sunflowers are always so pretty!






My first instinct when I saw the set was to use the biggest flower.  Lovely!




I loved how the colouring turned out so I decided to do it again with the smaller image, only this time I decided to make the flower a bit more 3D.



The lace embossing folder used on vellum is so pretty I will definitely be using this technique over and over!  Combined with the paper tole flower and some baker's twine  make a fairly quick card look that much more special.

I hope you enjoyed my cards today!  The fun is not over though, talented Toni is next on the hop!  Don't miss out on visiting the rest of the amazing DT, there is lots of inspiration in store for you!  Here is the rest of the design team in case you didn't start at the beginning:

  2. Wow your first card is awesome. I love the colors and that embossing folder. And I'm not sure what type of texture you used on your last card but I love it and would like to know what you did to get it.
