You are at the very start of the hop.
Both companies have terrific prizes up for grabs and there are only 11 blogs in total that you'll need to visit and leave comments on to be eligible for the prizes!
Today I am sharing a card that I created using Momenta's Forever Family collection and PSA's Topiary and Smirk Kiss Me Now Stamp Sets!
For this card, I used the flower on an acrylic block so that I could see my flower placement easily and stamped the flowers with the black ink from PSA.
Then I brought out my colored pencils and colored the darker shade closest to the center and then wrapped a lighter shade around it for each flower. I went back in with my Gamsol and blended the colors, being sure to wipe off my blending stick before moving on the next flower set. The one thing I love most about using the Gamsol is that I can go back over any areas I need to, so if you blend to much...don't worry, just go back in with you pencil then blend it again!
