This is my second post of the day. For the Live & Love Crafts May Challenge, please click HERE.
Hello, sweet friends! We're celebrating the newest release from Graciellie Design's Digital Stamps with a blog hop! Gracie's stamps are versatile and beautiful, sure to inspire sweet creativity. Today I am sharing a card featuring one of the new sets titled Classic Greetings.
Here is the cover for the gorgeous set:
The floral stamp is so pretty and I love the abundance of sentiments in varying themes. Gracie's images are such fun to color! My encouragement card is going to a family in need of blossoming love.
I printed the image in a soft-lines manner... baby steps to no-lines coloring. :o) I colored it up with Copics and then generously covered it in Star Dust. The recipient loves sparkle as much as I (truly!), so I wanted them to sparkle for her. My papers are from Maja Design's Vintage Spring Basics. Encircling Gracie's stamps in love is a Sue Wilson Italian Decorative Frame, which is adorned with a layered Cheery Lynn Designs butterfly. A Joy! Crafts Lacey Square rests beneath, while my card base is made with Go Kreate's Large Frame Frilly #10.
This and other new digital stamp sets can be found HERE for instant download. These stamps are ready to print and are perfect for all papercrafting projects.

Karen, as always your sparkle shines through on your amazing design! I love the shape, but then layered your gorgeous sparkly floral arrangement on a square and then a circle. These shapes add such interest to your card, and I'm just amazed at how you can do that! I can sit and stare all day long at this beauty and see so many lovely details like the lace, the pearls, oooh! that butterfly and beautiful blue charm at the center of your fluffy bow! Love the colors and your coloring of the roses is just perfect! Lovely, Lovely, Lovely, and what a great start to my Sunday! May yours be blessed! Hugs!
