Angel Art Blog Hop: Hostess Sets: Happy Today

Sorry I fell off the blog posting wagon but it's a busy time at my day job. :) However, I found time to play in the Paperwings Angel Art Blog Hop. This one features hostess sets from the current TAC catalogs - so fun! You can get free stamps with a $100 party so it's a great way to add to your collection of stamps! (or am I the only one with a collection of stamps - lol!).

I decided to play with the Level A hostess set, Happy Today!

What a fun and sweet little set this is. I stamped the little girl and the flowers with momento tuxedo black ink on ivory cardstock. Then, I used a variety of copics from the copic caboodles and used two to three of each color family to color the images. I'm not totally enamored with how I did the grass but I'm still learning. Love those markers!

And, here's another hostess set blog post from last September. It's a holiday vintage image embossed in copper. How can you go wrong with that combo?
