Today I am sharing a card I created with the adorable new Best Buds stamp set! Ooooh I love this set! If you like flowers and like to color, you will too! I ended up making two cards because I just had too!
Aren't those flowers the cutest?? I just love them! I colored everything here with my new Zig Clean Color brush markers. They are really fun! I love them too! I have had a lot of people asking about what kind of watercolor paper I use. I am using Master's Touch from Hobby Lobby. It has a nice fine texture and is really white. It's quite inexpensive too! Good stuff! The sentiment was heat embossed with white embossing powdered and adhered with foam tape. The Celebrate sentiment is from the stamp set Sugar Rush.
Made another card with some other stamps in this cute set! This is a little banner and it has three different sentiments you can stamp in it. So cute!
I did the same here as the first card. It is all watercolored with Zig Clean Color brush makers on watercolor paper. I added a few sequins too! :)
I am sure this is a stamp set you will be seeing me use again and again!
Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you enjoy the hop!
You next stop on the hop is Laura Bassen!
Hugs,
Kay :)

Oooh, Kay! These cards are gorgeous! I keep hearing about those pens(good things) but haven't seen them in person anywhere. No matter, what you did with them is gorgeous. Adore the images. I can well imagine this set will be a favorite for you. Looks like a set right up your alley. I can't wait to see more. I really like how vibrant the colors are and the color choices you made. Thanks for sharing what watercolor paper you used. I just assumed it was Tim Holtz stuff, but I will for sure look up the Master's Touch! Thanks again for sharing, Kay. Your work is pure delight!

ReplyDeleteThese cards are beautiful, I love that flower stamp.
ReplyDeleteMissed the hop, but that doesn't matter in the least, because visiting you is about the 'awesomeness' of your cards more than the chance to win...although I'd take that too *grin* These two floral delights have me smiling...so incredibly pretty! And thank you for the water-colour paper info...We're off to Seattle (first time and a short trip) where I am definitely going shopping! Look out Impress...and Hobby Lobby and Joann's and some clothing stores (no ideas which ones, but we'll wander) and for my husband, a bike shop or ten!
