Technique Junkies - Stargazers

I really like lilies, and can't seem to grow them, so I'll take second best and stamp them!  Here is a card I made with Technique Junkies Stargazers stamp set.

I used the following to make the card:
Techniques Junkies - Stargazers Stamp
Prismacolor Pencils
My Favorite Things - Handwritten Happiness Stamp set
Ranger - Grape Soda Ink
Verasmark Black Onyx Ink

To make the card, I stamped the Stargazer stamp with Versafine Black Onyx Ink.  I then colored the image with Prismacolor pencils.  The image was then cut to size, mounted it to green card stock, and them the entire image added to a card base.  On a white strip of paper, the sentiment was stamped and then added to the image on the front of the card.

GIna K Lovely Lilies

Lovely Lilies was a Christmas gift, and I had to immediately use it!  Handwritten Happiness was also a Christmas gift, and one of the sentiments worked perfect for this card.  Here is a card I made using the stamp sets:

To make the card I used:

• Gina K - Lovely Lilies
• Altenew Ink - Frayed Leaf, Forest Glen, Butter cream, Warm Sunshine, Carmel Toffee, Paper Bag
• My Favorite Things - Handwritten Happiness

To make the card, I first stamped the flower image and all layers, starting with the lightest color ink.  I then masked the flower and stamped the leaves.  The sentiment was added using the darkest color ink that was used on the flower.  The image was trimmed and added to a card base to complete the card.
