Hi everyone and Happy New year!  I am so super excited to be here today on Rubeena's blog sharing these beautiful stamp sets!  I LOVE flower stamps, so to color these was so much fun for me!  I am truly thankful for this opportunity!  I created 3 cards for you today.  

For my first card I used the Happiness Blooms stamp set, along with the You Grow Girl sentiment set.  The sentiments in this set are beautiful and will be a favorite of mine fur sure!  I started by stamping the flower image on Bristol Smooth card stock with Versafine Ink and used clear embossing powder over the top, once it was heat set I was ready to color!  Which is my favorite crafty thing to do...  I used my Kuretake ZIG Clean Color Real Watercolor Brush Pens to color the beautiful blooms.  I chose 2 different sentiments for this card, heat embossed them in white powder on black card stock and adhered them to my card.

  

For my second card I used the beautiful Hugs stamp set.  I love the floral images in this set, along with the bold letters!  I started by stamping the image on Bristol Smooth card stock and used gold embossing powder over the top, once heat set I was ready to color!  I used my Kuretake ZIG Clean Color Real Watercolor Brush Pens to color the florals.  I then restamped the image one more time on black card stock using the gold embossing powder again.  I then fussy cut the HUGS letters out and adhered them to my card.  I love splatters... and added some to this card, along with Nuvo gemstones.  

For my last card I used the Be Kind stamp set.  This one sure is another GORGEOUS image to color!  I stamped the image in clear embossing ink and used rose gold embossing powder.  Once heat set, I colored the florals with my Kuretake ZIG Clean Color Real Watercolor Brush Pens to color.  On the leaves I used a combination of markers and perfect pearls in gold.  I added splatters to the card using metallic watercolor and sequins for a little more sparkle.  

I hope you enjoyed these cards!  I truly love these sets, along with the other beautiful sets in the Gray Muse shop.  I am truly thankful for this opportunity from Rubeena to work with these sets.  I hope you have a crafty new year!
