SS SUMMER RELEASE BLOG HOP- DAY 3!


Day three and the last day of the hop! Don't forget to leave a comment on ALL the blogs! You can go here to get the details and to leave a comment on Mary's blog!
Today we have the Nouveau Stamps to share. There are three different stamps to this collection.

You should be arriving here from Julie's blog!


I have used the Peacock Nouveau stamp along with the Branch Nouveau. Both of these have such beautifully curved lines and look great individually or as the pair. I've colored with Copics, used touches of Wink of Stella, and the edges are graced with a 18KT. leafing pen!



Here's a close up of all the details on this design. Beautiful image! Love that Wink of Stella!



Here are the Copics I used!

Last day to SHOP and receive a FREE mini grab bag with $20 purchase 
FREE small word stamps with many of the dies!

You are almost to the end of the hop! Marybeth Lopez is next!
