Clear Dollar Stamps March Sneak Preview Day 2!!

Did yesterday get you all excited and giddy about the stamp sets being released tomorrow?? I sure hope so!! Super great sets from yesterday and MORE today!! Yep! More. :) If you missed yesterday's sets or want to see all of today's set, head over to Lori's blog after you check out - and comment on :) - the projects here.

Soooooo .... what to show you first?!


How about this?
This is the Hydrangea set. Gorgeous, isn't it?! Here in Georgia, we see a LOT of hydrangea flowers. The beautiful flowers range in color from white to pink to blue to purple. Super cool to see all of the beautiful colors. The flowers are known to change color based on the pH of the soil. So, for my flower, I had several colors on the one bunch. This is more unusual, but not unheard of. It happens many times when the bush is transplanted or grown in a container. Ok ... enough of the botany lesson. I'm sure that you were very interested in all of that. :)

I colored this image with my watercolor crayons. Ooooh, how I love the effect I get from these. :) Gorgeous.
