Stampin'Up Wildflower Meadow Sneak Peak!

Hi Stamping Friends,

I wanted to show you a cute sneak peak I saw in Fiji. I cased this card and changed the colors.

This card uses the new stamp set Wildflower Meadow and Really Good Greetings.

You'll be able to order these sets May 31.

I stamped the bird in Daffodil Delight ink on the Tea Lace Paper Doilies.
Tip: Dry it with your Heat Tool so the ink doesn't  run!

Do you love the Designer Series Paper? It's called Gingham Garden also available May 31!

I used a Stampin Spritzer # 126185 filled with Rubbing alcohol and 10 drops of Island Indigo re-inker to spritz the Whisper White card stock.

You're invited to my garage sale on May 31!  If you buy a retiring stamp set from my Buy One Get One FREE sale you could get this Designer Series Paper and stamp set for FREE!!

Happy Stamping,
