  26. February 4, 2014 6:03 am

    What a great new collection of stamps! The card ideas were very inspiring!

  27. February 4, 2014 6:04 am

    From this selection I think it has to be the transparent kind words that is my favourite – in many ways because of Elizabeth’s sample using it; it’s the white on white embossing that gives a texture reminiscent of a Damask tablecloth for the background that so beautifully provides a foil for the sentiment which she has embellished with those lovely flowers & scrolls. I can see the latter being so versatile. Elizabeth’s attention to detail in all these samples is delightful with the white on white elements particularly catching my eye. The polka dots of her dress echoed by the background dotted panel in the first, the delicate lacey feel evoked by the die-cut trellis background so in keeping with a bride’s dress on the second, the warm glow as if the sun is shining upon the happy bears in the fourth & finally the recipe card idea of the final project are the particular highlights for me in the remaining samples.
