It's June that means I'm a year older, the weather is warming up! and it's blog hop time.  This month my theme is heat embossing, using vellum and Perfect Pearls.
Pretty Pears is the next new release stamp set and it's a good one.  I'm showcasing the big pear embossed in black then water colored with Perfect Pearls for that extra shimmer.  card #2 technique is called double time stamping and stamped with VersaMark ink then dusted with Perfect Pearls.  both cards are tied up with some beautiful gold/silver ribbon.

Here's the Design Team:

Come on back tomorrow for more creativity.

Hi Sue, back again for another day of the hop! Your cards are beautiful! Love the Perfect Pearls on the first - it looks like it has been gilded. And I really love that you have used a little stamp to make another beautiful card. Thank you for the inspirations! And thank you for the blog hop Karen P

I love seeing the cards with this stamp set that don't use the pear! I didn't even notice the other elements in that set until you ladies were using them on your cards!
