Here are some cards I made using the new stamps: 

I'm a vintage junkie and wanted to show off this adorable stamp "Red Lipstick Day"  in a CAS way.  She was colored with watercolor brush pens and Inktense watercolor pencils on watercolor paper.  

I used a combination of techniques to create this card, using "Olive Branch" .  The bg is water colored after stamping and heat embossing white ep to create a resist.  I then put the image back in the MISTI and re-stamped with a darker blue ink after moving it slightly from the original position to give a shadow effect.  The sentiment is "Merry Christmas 2".

What an awesome bg stamp this "Textured Stars" is.  It's loaded with texture and design and can be used with so many mediums.  I have lots of ideas for this stamp in the future.  For this card, I laid some Distress Oxide Inks direction on the stamp and spritzed with water.  Then taking a piece of watercolor paper I layed it over the inked stamp and set aside.  I then took a second piece of watercolor paper and without re-inking or adding any more water, I layed it over what was left on the stamp, getting a second generation image.  I loved the results.  The bg on this stamp is the first inking and the second generation is die cut raised off the first.  I used "Perspective"  silhouette stamp to accent the bg.  

That's it for me today.  I hope you found some inspiration and enjoy the hop.  Now, head on over to my incredibly talented friend Kathy Stacy's blog and see her fabulous creations.
