TSG Sneak Peek -- Garden of Friends

Hello everyone and welcome to There She Goes January Sneak Peek & Blog Hop challenge! If you came from Julie's blog, you just stepped in a right place :) If not, you may want to start from TSG blog to start this hoppin' fun event and win a prize!!

Today's sneak peek is about this beautiful flower set, Garden of Friends. I'm a huge fan of flower images and I literally gasped when I saw the set for the first time, lol. It's also a wonderful set to color with any of your favorite coloring mediums. Garden Of Friendship is a 4x6 stamp set that includes a total of 22 stamps and will sell for $15.



I thought it would be worth to try designing a wreath with some of the beautiful images. I started with tracing the circle on the white mat and stamped the filler (small leaves and stalks) images along the circle line. The hydrangea and leave images were stamped on another white cardstock and colored with Copics. After trimming the all images, each piece was attached using the circle line as a guide. To finish the wreath, I stamped the sentiment and attached the bow.
