Even more new toys! :)

The other day I decided to check out what ebay had for sale and ended up winning 15 packs of Hero Arts clear stamps ! I'm absolutely in LOVE with these stamp sets but when they first arrived I was automatically overwhelmed as I couldn't decide which to use first! I had my boyfriend choose his favorite, though I should have known it would be the one with chubby hippos. Here's the card :

Stamps: Hero Arts, Playful Animals

Paper: Brown cardstock

DCWV 'Animal Crackers'

Embellishments: Brown ribbon, buttons

Tools: Spellbinders Scalloped Circles

Markers: Prismacolor warm grey, Copic: R81, E50

One of the reasons I put a bid on these stamps was for this specific set. I wanted clear French stamps, and I especially wanted sentiments in French. After I get through with the rest of the sets I think this is the first I will come back to. I already have some ideas brewing...

Stamps : Hero Arts "Paris", and Martha Stewart "Flourish"

Papers: Brown and dark brown cardstock

Embellishments: Buttons, brown ribbon, white embossing powder

Inks: Inkadinkado black, Stampin' up! Positively Pink

I'm still working on the third card...I'm stuck on papers, but will upload it as soon as it is finished! It uses two of the sets and a LOT of chalk. Until then!
