KSS Lilacs

I promised last week that I would feature the Kitchen Sink Stamps lilac in today's KSS post. (post sponsored by Kitchen Sink Stamps).The lilac is probably the one KSS flower that I have had the most difficulty aligning properly. That is until now! I have recently joined the MISTI (Most Incredible Stamping Tool Invented) craze! This fabulous tool from My Sweet Petunia makes precision stamp placement a breeze.

    This MISTI is something else! I can certainly see the aligning challenges of this stamp set. Both cards are stunning. I especially love how realistic your leaves look in the 2nd card. Wow.

    How can you not love the MISTI especially when you can create such utterly beautiful cards! But then I though your pre-MISTI cards were sensational too!

    Wow- these look so realistic I can almost smell them! I was hoping you would post the colors you used- I just love these beautiful flowers. How do you use the Misti with layered stamps? I saw it with just one layer...... How do you know placement for it? Beautiful Lynn!!!
