Just Because Cards

I love the Jar of Flowers stamp set and it is perfect for watercoloring and when using alcohol markers. The only disappointment is there are no sentiments in this set.

I used the sentiment from Celebration Sunflowers, another favorite set. Don’t you think the Gorgeous Grape goes perfectly with the new In-color, Fresh Freesia? I used Fresh Freesia, Pool Party, Pale Papaya and Old Olive inks to water color my stamped image.

Don’t forget to stamp in Stazon-it will not bleed black into your colors! Enjoy! Happy Stamping!

The Tasteful Touches stamp set is a wonderful set with so many possibilities.
