May Blog Hop -- New stamps, new inspiration!

Welcome to the hop! Today is May 1st and that means that it is release day! We have a baker's dozen of new stamps for you that you will just adore! To celebrate, the Technique Junkies Design Team is featuring a BLOG HOP! Not only that, but the May Release Stamps are 15% off through May 8th. Simply make your selections, and all the May releases will automatically be discounted at checkout. Now for a little inspiration:

First up is a creation using two of the new releases. The bottom layer uses the 9 stamps in the London Calling Set to create a collage background. Layered over it is the London ATC. I think they work smashingly together.

But it IS May, so how about a few flowers?

On this 4" x 4" card, I used the Dogwood Branch Stamp with one of the sentiments from the Beautiful Faces Stamp Set. The flowers were colored with Copic Markers and the background is the Cracked Stencil (from Art Anthology) that has been stenciled with ink.

One more on this blog before I release you to the hop:

This simple card uses the Mama and Baby Background stamp with two of the stamps from the Beautiful Faces stamp set. Isn't that just perfect -- and unexpected -- for Mother's Day?

Now that you have seen a few things that I have created, let's move on to the hop (more from me later in the hop line-up). Simply follow this list to the end, then go shop -- make sure you get your 15% off the new stamps!

Here is the line-up:
