A tiny dandelion tutorial and some Mary Ellen love!

Hi friends! I hope you are adding the lovely Mary Ellen kit (now on sale!) to your cart and doing some fun Easter shopping! I have a little layout love from the Mary Ellen kit to show you in a moment, but first I wanted to show you guys what I did for the stamping challenge we have going on.

So, first off, I'm not really creative when it comes to stamping, I usually forget to use them! But I wanted to push myself out of the box for this challenge, so here's what I came up with:

I stamped the awesome sunburst Jenni Bowlin stamp on some Cosmo Cricket paper from the Jump & Jive kit. I used Tim Holtz's crushed olive distress ink- love this color!
Then I added some simple doodling to help the stamp have a little bit more interest to it. I used a grey Bic Color-It marker.
On top of this, I used a foam brush and some white acrylic paint to "stamp."
And finally, I added a few crystal clear Stickles.... cut it out and use it as a "dandelion" embellishment!
Here's the final result:

Made with the Jump & Jive kit... still available!

And here's a little layout I whipped up after getting my Mary Ellen kit in the mail yesterday! LOVE IT! It's a good one, so you'll want to snatch one up for yourself before they are all gone!
