PMS July Release Blog Hop

Today is the BIG day!  We are having a blog hop to celebrate the July Release for Paper Makeup Stamps.  If you start at the PMS Blog and go through the hop in the correct order, you can collect all the letters that will spell out a discount code for 15% off the new release stamps.  {wink}  You should have arrived here from the terrifically talented Tangii's Blog. 

My card features one of the Scriptures from the new Be Still Sentiments set.  The flowers are from Faith, Hope, Love. 

Now before you go hopping off to the always amazing Andrea's Blog, pick up your letter from my flower petals below.  Then check out the Paper Makeover Challenges and play along for a chance to win a $10 gift certificate.  And don't forget to stop by the PMS Forum at 9:00pm EDT for the Release Party tonight!  There will be lots of fun chatter, fun questions, fun prizes and more!

Today we are showing you some elements from the new Framed Set and previous Friday Freebie Digi Stamps that will now be available in rubber too.  For some reason this quote made me think of Teddy with his bear.  I know when my son was younger he had a favorite stuffed animal that had to go everywhere with us!

Flutterby Wednesday - FBW161 Open Challenge

We have another Open Challenge at Flutterby Wednesday!  Just remember to use your butterfly, fairy or angel on your creation!  We also have a sponsor since it is the first Wednesday of the month - The Stamping Boutique!  Be sure to check out the FBW Blog for prize details.  {wink}

I colored this very detailed digi image called Audrey at the Well with prismacolor pencils.  There is so much going on in the picture that I chose to keep the background very simple.  And it looks like a wishing well to me, so I pulled out this saying from Celebration Sentiments. 

Thanks for fluttering by and please get inky with us at Flutterby Wednesday this week!

I have used the flowers from Brick Wall by Mark's Finest Papers.  I colored them with a Cameo Coral marker and a clear stardust glitter pen for some sparkle.  Well, that combination gave these pretty flowers a copper tone that matches the Crisp Copper Kettle paper perfectly ~ what a happy surprise!  {squeal}

Quixotic Paperie with PMS

Today some of the Paper Makeup Stamps Design Team are joining with the Quixotic Paperie Design Team to throw the spotlight on the Paper Makeup Stamps range as part of Quixotic Paperie's 2nd Anniversary celebrations (Quixotic Paperie are the UK online stockist for Paper Makeup Stamps)!

As you may be aware - Paper Makeup Stamps is owned by Katie Cotton and to give you a clue as to where the name of her company came from - Katie is a professional makeup artist. Katie has some fabulous artists contributing to her company including Steve Hammond with the Monsters range, Diem Pascarella's Beautiful Day Fairies, Moody Girls by Cynthia Liu and the Retro Cutie Critters by Diem Pascarella.

The Paper Makeup Stamps range is available in the UK/Europe at Quixotic Paperie.

As part of the celebrations and the spotlight today, we have a PRIZE GIVEAWAY!

Pop on over to the Quixotic Inspirations blog to get all the details and enter the draw to win some fantastic Paper Makeup Stamps and more!

For my card I have used Springtime Solids and Celebration Sentiments.  I was in a tropical mood after my son's Hawaiian Luau party at school, so my card works with the Flutterby Wednesday colors too!  {grin}  I rock 'n rolled the flowers to get the two-tone coloring and added glitter to the centers. 

Now for some more inspiration! Hop on over to each of the blogs below to see some fantastic Paper Makeup Stamps creations!
