Technique Junkies May Blog Hop

As always, lots of awesome new stamps for the May Release at Technique Junkies ... and they are 15% off through the 8th of May (No codes needed ... discount applied at checkout) ... and if you  use my code TJ10Stephanie you get 10% off all other products.

I love the gorgeous Side Hat Lady (make sure you click through the hop to see all of the other great takes on this stamp ... so fun to see how many different ways a single stamp can be used).

I inked most of the stamp in Catherine Pooler Midnight (the perfect ink for large coverage areas like this one) and then inked the lips only in Red using my MISTI.  The sentiment is another awesome new one ... Audacity ... so true.

I love beverage stamps and there are several this month.

This one is called Bring Wine ... which paired perfectly with the Paint Rings Backround (I'm calling them Wine Rings in this card) ... and of course, I used Port Red Memories Ink.

My final card is all about Life and Beer.

This card was also made better by using my MISTI.  I stamped it in Brown and then used Kuretaki Gansai Tambi Starry Colors Paint to paint my glass.  After the paint dried, I stamped one more time in brown to bring back the details in the pint glass.  You can see the look after painting on the left ... and how much better it looks with the second stamping on the right.

Here's an angle that gives a better view of the wonderfully shimmery glimmer.

Keep hopping and enjoy checking out all of the awesome new stamps for May.

The pop of red with the side hat lady is very effective, so pretty.
