A Taste of India Blog Hop

BLOG HOP TIME with Crafter's Companion!!!!

I hope you've enjoyed all the sneak peeks of the new Crafter's Companion A Taste of India Collection by Sheena Douglass. Our design teams made jaw dropping samples!

Now it's time to celebrate with a Blog Hop!  You can read all the Blog Hop details and PRIZE info. on the Crafter's Companion Information Blog HERE.

I've created a notecard with the stunning new "Henna" stamp set. When I was thinking about adding a sentiment...I decided it was perfect without. Now I can use this card for any occasion.

You can see in the close-up pic how I painted on some shimmer to all the purple areas using Sparkle Sheer Shimmer Spritz. To add some shine, I added 3D Crystal Lacquer to the center of the flowers and Black Glossy Accents on all the dots on the image.

I just know you're gonna love all these NEW A Taste of India Stamps! OH..and did I mention...NEW A Taste of India Embossing Folders!!! WOOT WOOT!!  Which ones do you want?
