Welcome to day one of the Trendsetter's sneak peeks! If you have just come from the TSG Blog, you are right on track. If not, you may want to go there now and see what all this hopping is about and how you can have a chance at winning the sets being shown today!
*Dance*
The first set that I'm sharing with you today is very special to me. Last month, the stamping group that I belong to lost a dear friend. Linda was such a joy to be around and always had a kind word and a smile for anyone. Sadly, she passed away in the beginning of January from Amyloidosis. I have designed this mini stamp set in Linda's memory and $4 from every $7 dollar set will go to the Amyloidosis Support Group in her name. Dance is a 3x4 mini set that includes 7 image stamps and 1 large beautiful sentiment stamp that will sell for $7.
I made this card for Linda's wonderful sister Priscilla (who is also in our group). It was really something to be in a room with those two! You could immediately tell how close they were and how much fun they had together. Hanging out with those two for only a few minutes and you would feel like old friends :)
I was inspired by this beauty made by Heather. The beautiful images in this set have an almost tropical feel to them so I decided to color them a pretty pink with my Prismacolor Pencils. And I don't know what it is about pink and black together, but it makes my heart happy :) And do you see my 'DP'? That leaf is one of the images in the set!
Close up of the flowers. I used Diamond Glaze to glue tiny clear beads to the center of each flower.
And of course the inside of the card has to be as pretty as the front!
*Beautiful Spring*
The second set that I have to show you today is also a mini set called Beautiful Spring. This set features the image I used on my card as well as a larger daffodil and tulip (two separate stamps) plus the perfect sentiments to go with them.
Beautiful Spring is a 3x4 mini set that includes 5 image stamps and 4 sentiments stamps that will sell for $7.
I wanted to create a very clean and simple card while still maintaining texture and depth. I stamped the image onto my kraft card base (that was sponged on the edges with Sahara Sand) with Momento Tuxedo Black then colored using a blender pen and SU inks. I then stamped the image again onto scrap kraft cardstock, colored the tulip, cut out and added to the card base using dimensionals.

The set looks lovely Jessica - what a beautiful (literally and emotionally) tribute to your friend Linda. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I am sure she would be really touched by you donating the proceeds to amyloidosis support.
