There must be something in the air right now, because I have a bunch of girlfriends that are all expecting babies this summer and fall. So I decided to send some happy mail to these special ladies and try out some new stamps and craft supplies.
I fell in love with the oven image on this Lawn Fawn stamp set and then the sentiment really sealed the deal. Everything else just came together in 5 minutes increments while unpacking and keeping my toddler from destroying anything in my new craft room.
This is the sentiment from the same stamp set that I used on the inside.
I used my Copic markers to color the oven images and found out the hard way that they smeared the new black ink I was using for the first time (Hero Hues Dye Ink). I have always used black Memento with Copics in the past, but I thought this would be safe since it is a die ink...no such luck. Stick with Memento Dye Ink for Copic markers. Even after drying overnight, see the bleeding on the muffins and the line at the bottom of the oven.
I also had some fun stamping the envelopes with a new Simon Says Stamp exclusive stamp set. And I pulled out my distress inks to try to create an ombre line of hearts. Still working on that technique.
