New Graciellie Design Stamps - Blog Hop & Giveaway

I'm so excited to be participating in today's blog hop featuring brand new stamps from Graciellie Design's Digital Stamps.  I was lucky enough to work with two of Gracie's new stamp sets.  The first was Happy Easter.  Aren't those little critters adorable?
And here is my card using this set.
Though there's a large variety of bunnies out there, I knew immediately I wanted mine to be grey. :)  The color scheme wasn't intentional (as it usually is for me) but just sort of happened.  I'm not really surprised, though.  These are the colors most prevalent in my wardrobe and my home. :) Ink blending was such a great technique to use with these digital stamps...no worries at all about smudging the ink.
The next set I worked with was Patience.  Gracie has a knack for creating beautiful sentiments and this set was no exception.
I loved this particular sentiment and wanted the beauty of the words to stand out, so I used a very simple card design.  I also decided that I wanted a cohesive element for all my cards, so you'll see the polka dot paper on all three.  It's difficult to tell in the photo, but I actually popped up a few of the leaves and petals on the flower.  The dimension really adds so much in person.  The other fun thing is that I actually used the mirror image of the flower.  I definitely love that digital stamps allow you to do that.
I had such a wonderful time working with Gracie's stamps.  If you are familiar with Gracie's work (and I hope you are!), you'll notice that my style of card making is very different.  She is a master of shabby chic and beautiful layering and creates the most breathtaking projects.  Why am I telling you this?  I think the stark contrast of our styles shows how very versatile these digital stamps are.  And the best part is that they are available right now.  These and other new digital stamp sets can be found at Graciellie Design's Shop here.
