Dreams Come True in the Kitchen

I have been anxiously awaiting with baited breath Monday's arrival because TODAY I get to share with you the latest releases from Kitchen Sink Stamps. They include a little bit of something for everyone! There is a fairy tale castle for the brides and princesses in your life! Beautiful Alpine mountains make a fabulous set to add to your scene-building collection.  For note writing or Valentines there is an antique quill and ink bottle. The final set has a parchment scroll with awesome sentiments to work with them all! What fun!!

Ever After Castle

Alpine Mountains

Love Letters

Ever After Greetings

In addition to the Ever After Castle and the Ever After Greetings, I also included images from Village Stone Bridge (the horse and carriage) and Friends of the Moon (stars and smallest fireworks).

I used this same exact recipe on the base for the castle as well. The fireworks and stars were stamped with Brilliance Galaxy Gold Ink and the sentiment with Versafine Onyx Black. Washi tape made the sparkly black road under the horse and carriage.

This castle design again uses Ever After Castle and Ever After Greetings with the addition of Alpine Mountains, Rolling Hills, and grass edging from Honey Bunny. The sky was created with the SVG cut file Cloudy Skies.

This final Kitchen Sink Stamps sponsored design is a masculine Valentine's Day card made with Love Letters. The puffy heart 3-D embossing was created with a Sizzix embossing folder.
