Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps Blog Hop - Day 1

We are having a blog hop for Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps.  

You will start from the PPRS blog

There are some beautiful new rubber stamps being released at CHA this Winter, so you don't want to miss out on the seeing what's new.  Here is a card made with the Birdhouse in a Tree.  I used the Couture Creations Bradshaw Embossing folder as the background.  Then I used the mini leafy swirl die from Cheery Lynn Designs with some small paper flowers to add to the Spring feel.

In this second sample I cut out the image in a circle to have the birdhouse and the birds more of a focal point to this card.  I cut out the lacy border with another Cheery Lynn Designs Die and a sentiment at the bottom of the card.  Both the cards were colored with Copic Markers.  I like the way this stamp can either be light and springy, or more Victorian and shabby chic...Adding a different dimension with the same stamp!

Prickley Pear is giving away two of the new clear stamp sets with the matching dies, that are shown below,  to one lucky winner.  All you have to do is leave a comment and your name will be put into a drawing.  Leave a comment on each of the Design Team Blogs for more of a chance to win.  There will a winner each day, so be sure to come back tomorrow for more sneak peaks and a chance to win!
