I absolutely adore her style and this set is fun. I made quite a few cards and I will share those in coming weeks but today I am sharing two. Let me show you the stamps first and then my cards...

I made my first card with traditional Super Hero image in mind... red and blue and also stars :) I used Oh my Stars stencil and smooshed red Distress ink on it. I then sprayed it with water and stamped the stencil over watercolor card stock panel. I then stamped and water colored the Super Hero and added the sentiment to finish it.

I love the grungy look that I got with that stencil, what do you think? 

Now to my second card, here I captured the goodness of city scape. Only not the traditional black but an array of colorful bright Distress Oxide inks layered on top of the other to build the sky scrapers. I then fuzzy cut this. For the background I masked and ink to create a sun burst in blue ink. To make a birthday card I added embossed vellum balloons. Besides the new set I used Balloons and Banners, Skinny sentiments dies andParty time stamp set.

Hope you enjoyed my cards. Don't forget to hop along for a shot at the prizes, HERE. I will be back tomorrow with Day 2 of the release. thank you so much for stopping by and leaving me some love :)
