Inspired Stamps March New Release!

Hello and welcome here!  Inspired Stamps is releasing some new stamp sets and they are A-MAZ-ING!!!  Be sure to check out the rest of the Design Team creations to see all of the new releases.

Card Size:  4.25" x 5.5"

Antoinette has designed these amazing stamp sets that include the music right on them.  I have used Hymn:  Churches and Houses...it's a 6" x 8" sheet set of stamps, there are also some different Hymn girls available...they come on a 3" x 4" carrier sheet, and a couple more larger sets and an alphabet....can you say amazing!?!

The set I used comes with a church and a few different houses, as well as 2 scripture verses and some words.  For my card I didn't even need to colour it in, I just left it as is and added a couple of birds to the outside.

 Inside:

Recipe:  Inspired Stamps SS-Hymns:  Churches and Houses, Bazzill purple CS, CTMH White Daisy CS, PP-BoBunny (scrap I had with no name on it) & Crate Paper Random Collection Wallpaper, Papertrey Ink Cloud Dies, Memory Box Resting Bird Die, Spellbinders Labels 4 Die, Foam Squares.

 Card Size:  4.25" x 5.5"

This is the church and scripture that is included in the set Hymn:  Churches and Houses.  I coloured the church using Copics and mounted it on a white card.  I thought that this would make the church just pop off the card.
