Lily the Pink!

I've been lucky enough to play with with some of the new Tonic Studios Pick of the Bunch stamps, designed by my buddy Ruth Hamilton.  I have to say, I was highly impressed with the quality of the stamps.  As all stampers know, clear stamps are not all created equal, but these stamp beautifully and are a joy to colour.  I coloured mine with Promarkers and made the lilies Stargazers, but I quite fancy colouring them orange too.  The sentiment is from a Personal Impressions set.
I went for a cream on cream colour scheme with a splash of pink to showcase the lilies rather than the papers and embellishments, but still gave it the Wendy treatment with ribbon, a bow, gems, pearls, a metal heart and some Stardust Stickles.  I added some texture with Sheena Douglass and Papermania embossing folders, along with some ridged cardstock.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges -
Emerald Faeries - #29 - bling
Fab 'n' Funky - #133 - gems and pearls
Bearly Mine - sparkle and shine
Tuesday Alchemy - #26 - bingo - ribbon, flowers, pearls/bling
Lexi's Creations - #71 - sparkle and shine
One Stitch at a Time - #125 - white + 1

    Good morning Wendy,

    They are lovely quality stamps aren't they, the stamps so beautifully and as you correctly say not all clear stamps are equal.

    Absolutely love your colouring of the lily, it looks really pretty.
