CTMH - April Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

Welcome to the April Stamp of the Month Blog hop featuring D1409 "Flower Pot"!  If you've arrived here from Traci's blog, then you're on the right track.

When I first saw this stamp set, the first thing I thought was "time to pull out the watercolor pencils!" I used Moondoggie papers, Colonial White, Desert Sand and Cranberry cardstock, a pattern from Originals Card Confidence Program, watercolor pencils, a blending pen, and of course, the Flower Pot stamps! 

Don't forget, this stamp is only available from April 1-April 30, 2010.  Be sure to visit all the Consultants at their Blogs to get some great crafting ideas and other fun ideas! Contact your CTMH Consultant (or click here) to see how you can get this stamp set at a discount or even free!  

Now, hop on over to Brae's blog for more artwork and inspiration!
