Welcome to The Gray Muse Blog Hop featuring the 2020 Summer/Fall Stamp Collection! This release includes seven gorgeous floral stamp sets and one must-have sentiment set titled Social Distance! There are some amazing guests sharing inspiration using these stamp sets so grab your favorite drink and get to hopping! I have two projects to share today!

My first features the Simple Blooms stamp set. This set enables you to stamp all parts individually to build pretty bouquets or backgrounds or wreaths – whatever you like!

I stamped all of the images onto Bristol Smooth cardstock in waterproof black ink, then colored them in with my Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers. I used a water brush and layered bright yellow then a light pink after the first layer had dried, to create a pretty peachy depth to the petals. I did a similar blend on the leaves using a green and blue-green marker.

I fussy cut out all of the images once colored, and used a black marker to run around the outer edge to tidy up the outline. I then arranged them on a panel of white cardstock which I splattered with some of the paint from the markers. I used foam adhesive for dimension

The sentiment is heat embossed in white on black cardstock and comes from the amazing Social Distance stamp set. THE most awesome sentiment set for the times right?!! I finished with a few yellow Nuvo Drops and mounted on a white notecard.

My next card is a one layer card featuring the Forever Fuchsia stamp set. I used Bristol Smooth cardstock again and stamped the main floral image twice across the top of a landscape panel. If you line the images up carefully you can barely tell its a repeat image.

I colored in the images with my Zigs again, using bright pinks and greens, and some blues in between, adding a lot of drips with my water brush. I stamped a sentiment from the same set directly onto the card panel once the panel had dried then mounted it onto a note card. I kept it subtle by adding some clear enamel dots to finish.
