Secret Admirer


Just for fun some of the Makeup Artists on the Paper Makeup Stamps Design team participated in a Secret Admirer swap. Look at what arrived in my package from my Secret Admirer - {Randee}! She totally picked up on my love for music and birdhouses. {True confession time - the box of chocolates is empty and taped back together for the photo, hahahaha}

Here's a close up of her gorgeous birdhouse card. I just love the different colored birdhouses and the shading around the flowers in the background. That ribbon is pleated so beautifully too! {sigh}

Now look at this AMAZING birdhouse she decorated for me! I love how she stamped on the paper before sticking it on. And aren't that knob and metal plaque FABULOUS?! Here are a couple more photos from different angles.



I'm hoping Randee gets her tutorial posted for how to make a birdhouse like this SOON! {wink}

Thanks for the delighful package, Randee! I totally {heart} everything about it!

Blessings,

Congratulations!

Congratulations! You've made it to the last stop of the Paper Makeup Stamps August Release Blog Hop. If you've been hopping along the right path, you should have arrived here from our newest Senior Makeup Artist's blog, Randee's Rendezvous. If you didn't, you really want to turn around and start at the beginning at the PMS blog. Be sure to check out how you could win the entire August Release and how to get a code for 15% off the new stamps. {wink}


Today I am using the dog house from the set Home Matters. It has been available as a digi only set, but after many requests (mine included) it is now also available in rubber - yay! There are a couple members of the PMS design team {Tangii} and {Stephanie} who have recently adopted puppies. I thought it would be a cute idea to pair this dog house image with the simple sentiment 'Congratulations' to welcome their little pups to their new homes. {grin}

I heat embossed the dog house on watercolor paper and filled it in with my aquapainter and Watercolor Wonder Crayons. 'Congratulations' is also heat embossed and popped up on the card. The DP is from Basic Grey Max & Whiskers. The gray panel is dry embossed and the cute brads were in my stash waiting to be used, haha.

We hope to see you at the Release Party tonight in the PMS forum at 8:00 EST. There is always a lot of laughter and chatter, as well as games and prizes! But before you go, scroll down and see the special dog tag that my own sweet standard poodle {Truly Scrumptious} has to show you - it has the last letter you need to complete your discount code! {grin}

Thanks for hopping with Paper Makeup Stamps today!
