We're just excited to show you all that you can do with Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps and Dies to create a season filled with love, joy and beauty!

Tia here from RockyMtnCraftia.com, and I'm starting the fabulous month of July off with the 'You Are Loved' clear stamp set.

This gorgeous set with three sentiments, four individual birds and a beautiful large image featuring three birds decorating a Christmas tree. I wanted to try my hand at coloring up that amazing tree. Once done the challenge was in the card layout. 

There is just so much action in this one image, I decided to capture it all-individually! First, I will tell you, I did not color this image three times! I actually colored it once-and really, really took my time doing so! I then color copied it onto my good Hammermill Cardstock (Premium color copy-80lbs). With copies, I could crop and cut to fit into my filmstrip die.

              Here is a close-up from left to right of my slim line card.

   Here I embossed the sentiment on a tag. The squiggly outline was hand drawn by me with a gold gel pen.
