DoveArt Studio new release blog hop!

Hello everyone! Jennifer Dove from DoveArt Studio is back with another collection of amazing stamps!

We have a wonderful, colorful hop for you to enjoy today. The stamps are available for purchase now, you will want them all by the end of the hop.

You can purchase the stamps here.

I played with the gorgeous stamp called Lilac And Butterfly stamp and made a CAS card - of course ;)!

I stamped my image on Make It Colour Blending Card and coloured it in Copics. One thing I love about these DoveArt Studio stamps is that the colouring is made very easy since they are already shaded :)! I did some fussy cutting to put my flowers on 3D foam squares and placed it on a piece of Stamperia DP. The sentiment is from CC Designs.

Flowers: BV000, 00, 02, 04, 08, E42, Y15, 19, YG03, 17
