I used the MISTI to easily space and stamp the rainbow arches using Concord & 9th inks. For the sentiment I used the Narwhal Friends stamp & die set along with a few raindrops for embellishments.

Born to Sparkle Release Blog Hop

Hi there! Today I’m joining Simon Says Stamp for their Born to Sparkle release blog hop and I have a couple of projects to share featuring the Organic Fruits Stamp, Die & Stencil Set.

SSS-Organic Fruits

I am so excited for these new Organic Fruits products because my daughter, Bailey, designed them. I couldn’t be more proud her for doing such a fantastic job!

SSS-Organic Fruits

This first card uses the Organic Fruits stencil to blend the orange color and then I stamped the outline shape in black. The sentiment is also from the Organic Fruits stamp set.

SSS-Organic Fruits

For this next card I used the Organic Fruits stencil to create more colorful shapes around the border of the panel using Pinkfresh Studio inks.

SSS-Organic Fruits

I’m such a stickler for a good sentiment stamp and these have a beautiful, classic font mixture with practical sentiments that you can use all year round.

Here is a video to show how I created these cards.
