Our beautiful Lily of the Valley Branch was stamped on white; then, the background was painted with Dolphin Cove Shimmering Bliss. The sentiment is from the Floral Frame Square Set. This beautiful shimmering background makes this card extra special! All are available from www.techniquejunkies.com.

Lily of the Valley
Lily of the Valley evokes happy memories of my childhood. Are there flowers that you connect with pleasant memories from your past? I remember when my mom would pick me up at my friend Linda's house and her mother would hand my mom a fresh bouquet of Lily of the Valley when she came to the door. That thought always makes me smile.
Stamps used - Lily of the Valley and Faith Hope Love
I used a white paint pen to make the flowers stand out and tiny white pearl accents.

Let's Discuss my Cattitude...
Right? Since it's Monday, I thought we would discuss my "cattitude." Not so great (until my coffee, that is!). Today I used the cat from the Cat on Her Lap stamp with one of the sentiments from the Kitty Mug Shot Set. The flowers are the patterned paper - I cut around some of the outer edges with a craft knife, then slid the aqua paper under them.

Butterfly Kisses
Who doesn't love teaching a child about butterfly kisses? I still remember when my sons were young - and how they loved to place that gentle flutter on my cheek. Of course, these butterfly kisses are a bit different, but still great! Today I colored the butterflies with my beloved (retired) Nuvo Glitter markers and created a simple background using the butterflies in black and white. Stamps used: Butterfly Kisses & Flying Butterflies Border.

Spring Borders
Today I combined the Spring and Sunshine Stamp with the Delicate Floral Borders to create a card that just looks like it is blooming! Simple marker coloring on the border is combined with three quick swipes of Catherine Pooler Ink for this happy Spring card.

Such a pretty flower
Hello stamping friends!
I've been using the new Lily of the Valley stamp a lot this month. It's such a pretty little flower to use for any occasion. I've used it with the Difficult Time set, Get Well, and for nice every day cards to have on hand. Take a look at the variety I created. It's a lovely flower and easy stamp to color.
The Lily of the Valley card with yellow flowers uses a part of a background stamp called Life in full bloom All about Spring background.
The card with pink flowers uses parts of a background stamp called Dream Big that can be found here.
We here at Technique Junkies would LOVE to see the beautiful creations you make using this stamp. Please share it with us on the Technique Junkies Facebook page. We look forward to seeing it!
