Shello...

Hi friends!

It's a review/preview weekend at Sweet November Stamps and the team and I are playing with some of the older spring stamps in the store before the new Spring clear release drops next weekend. I recently got my hands on a new postage collage die and I wanted to take advantage of the large square in the center by stamping the cute Shello snail into it. I then added flowers and bees from the Wildflower Meadow Background Builder set into the stamp spaces on either side. If you would like to watch the coloring of this card there is a quick reel over on Instagram and a longer speed coloring version will be added to the Sweet November Stamps YouTube channel soon. Once the coloring was all done I added the spring post mark from the Year Round Post Marks set to complete the postage theme of the card. 

Also, don't forget to join me today at 11am PDT over on the Adventures in Coloring with Amy Facebook page for a sneak peek of one of the new stamp sets coming on the 12th!

Thanks for stopping by!

Blooming Beautiful...

 

TGIF my friends!

I've got my final pair of Anyas to share from the new Petal Princess kit that is up for pre-order at The Greeting Farm. The kit includes eight amazing Anyas, bedecked in beautiful blossoms, three sentiments and a bunch of cute accessories to go with them. You can pre-order the kit for the discounted price of $42 through April 7th. Once the kits arrive at the end of the month any extras will be up for purchase in the store but at the regular price of $50.

First up is the sweet as can be Daffodil Petal Princess who is looking very mindful, very demure. She really embodies the grace and beauty of her signature flower. The sentiment and bee are also part of the big kit and I added some small flowers from the Just Married digi set that I colored into more daffodils growing all around her.

And our final Petal Princess is the lovely carnation Anya. She's all blushes and giggles as she gathers a beautiful bouquet thanks to the flower basket that I borrowed from the Gardening digi set. Little butterflies from the Petal Princess kit flutter and fly all around her in this pretty woodland scene that I colored. 

Well, I hope this week of cards has inspired you to add the Petal Princesses kit to your stamp stash too.   :)

Later gators!

Petal Princesses on parade...

 

Hello again!

Are you ready for a couple more sneak peeks of the brand new Petal Princess kit that is up for pre-order at The Greeting Farm? The kit includes eight pretty Anyas, wearing their signature flowers, three sentiments and a bunch of cute accessories to go with them. You can pre-order the kit for the discounted price of $42 through April 7th. Once the kits arrive at the end of the month any extras will be up for purchase in the store but at the regular price of $50.

This first card features the Peony Petal Princess. She is so gentle and serene as petals blow in the breeze around her. I added some long willow branches for her to be framed by and a soft color palette that adds to her dreamy demeanor.

The next Petal Princess is as fancy and frilly as her favorite ranunculus. She's all ruffles and wavy hair and I couldn't resist going all girly-girl pink with her ensemble. The frame of flowers growing in the foreground was put together using blossoms from the Just Married digi set and the butterflies fluttering around her are part of the Petal Princess kit. 

I will be back tomorrow with the final two Petal Princesses.   :)

Toodles!
