The Lots of Lavender Stamp Set is beautiful! It can easily be colored by using the coordinating two-step stamps included in the set or by using a coloring medium such as Blender Pens (my method), Watercolor Pencils, Aqua Painters or Stampin’ Blends.  Earning it for free with a $50 purchase is the perfect way to build your collection of stamps.  It is a Photopolymer Stamp set that allows you to easily line up the images for adding color. You can start earning Free Sale-a-Bration Items tomorrow!

I used the sentiments from the Beautiful Peacock Stamp Set, also a FREE item with $50 purchase, and only available during Sale-a-Bration (January 3 – March 31st).

I am sure you have noticed how much I absolutely love the Ink Smooching Technique!  It just adds so much to the card and is so easy to do.  I have shared a step-by-step tutorial on ink smooching and watercolor background, you can download it now by CLICKING HERE.

The background behind the lavender image is the Berry Burst Metallic-Edge Ribbon.  I cut off the metallic portion and then shredded it (a tip learned at OnStage). It was secured with a small strip of Fast Fuse Adhesive.
