Butterflies and bike riding

I wanted to play along with the Colour Q combo for this week so I pulled out a brand new set of stamps I just picked up from Tim Holtz. 

 I love the design of these stamps so I picked this set. It has something for Valentines day, Easter and Fourth of July not to mention other holidays.  I was pretty sure this butterfly would fit that color combo well.  The banner and sentiment are from Paper Smooches.

 The background is a stamp from Fun Stampers Journey, I just didn't ink it thoroughly so it looks a little distressed.  The butterfly is colored with Copic markers and that yellow accent is punched with a Martha Stewart anywhere punch.  I added some Glossy Accents on portions of the butterfly.

 Here is the Colour Q combo.

This also fits the Addicted to CAS Summer challenge.

 I also have several new stamps from Hero Arts so I sat down and did a whole bunch of playing.  I'll be showing off more and more of that playing along the way. 

I used the Brush Strokes set and just stamped randomly.  I used this little strip for a background for the bicycle stamps.

Those cantalope colored flowers

I just picked up a couple new stamps when I visited a recent stamp convention and so I put them to use with The Play Date Café color combination.

 I so love getting to go to the stamp convention and one booth I did some shopping in was a new company to me, Fun Stampers Journey. 

 The dot background stamp and this adorable little group of flowers are from them, the sentiment is from Paper Smooches. 

Here is The Play Date Café combo that was so fun to use.
