Today at Just Add Ink we're celebrating the start of a new challenge year with a team blog hop & challenge to Just Add Something New.
Adding something new is very easy challenge at this time of year since we have all sorts of new Occasions Catalogue goodies. I've mixed & matched new stamps & dies on my card.
I love the little floral bird house in the Flying Home stamp set & noticed the floral wreaths in the Charming Cafe stamp & die bundle looked very similar, so I combined them. & added a sentiment from the new Perennial Birthday stamp set. All stamping is archival basic gray ink - it's softer than black but & Stampin' Blends friendly.
The images are coloured with with Stampin' Blends markers then clear Wink of Stella to add lots of sparkle. You can see the sparkle better in this pic.
I used more Perennial Birthday sentiments on the inside. This set has so many great mix & match birthday sentiments & fun graphic florals, suitable for all sorts of people & is one of my favourites from the Occasions Catalogue so far.
Tip: If you love these sentiments, check out the full set below in my supply list & also check out the coordinating Perennial Birthday Project Kit too.
Well that's all from me today. Thanks for stopping by today & I hope you're inspired to mix up your stamps to create a new look too.
Now head to the next stop on the Just Add Ink hop to see what fabulousness my talented friend, fellow JAI & SU teamie, Jo Stubbings has for you.
