Blendabilities Bloom With Hope Card

This has GOT to be one of my favorite hostess stamp sets of all time!

I LOVE Stampin' Up!'s new Bloom With Hope set. And our Blendabilities alcohol-based markers that just became available on July 1st make these images simply stunning (to say the least).

Bloom With Hope (2014-15 Hostess Stamp Set)

Blendabilities Markers

Today's featured card (4-1/4" x 5-1/2") was one that I made for a swap last month.
Did you notice?… It's in Coastal Cabana, one of my favorite SU colors!

I stamped the flowers from the Bloom With Hope stamp set in Momento Tuxedo Black ink onto Whisper White card stock. Next I colored them in using the Old Olive and Coastal Cabana Blendabilities Markers and added Dazzling Details to the center of the flowers. Lastly I punched them out with the 2-1/2" Circle Punch, roughed up the edges with our Distressing Tool, and then added them to the front of the card with Dimensionals.

The flowers on the left edge of the card front and on the inside of the card were stamped using the Coastal Cabana ink pad.

Here are more card images on simple note cards (5" x 3-1/2"). I made these cards using this same stamp set and markers. I posted these cards back in May right after demonstrators could get their hands on many of the new Blendabilities markers. These cards really show how simple cards (with only stamps and ink) can still be quite beautiful.
