Waffle Flower Sneak Club - Kit #2
Hello my friends! I was so honored to be invited to guest design with my friends at Waffle Flower Crafts again - more on the entire release coming to you on March 5th. But today, I'm here to share their Sneak Peek Club Kit #2! What is the Sneak Peek Kit Club you might wonder? It's a fun monthly kit that includes a few of the fun products they will share a little later with the rest of the world on release day! You can read all about it over at the Waffle Flower Link Party!
Here's a peek of the items I received in Kit #2:

New FUNN with Craft Roulette!
I usually shut down after dinner for a little mindless TV but last evening I couldn't resist Gina K on Craft Roulette! Mary Gunn had SOOO much FUNN with her Episode #152 guest star! We did, too!
After the spin of the wheel, we were left with these card parameters:

MORE Second Helpings!
We all know the saying 'when the mood strikes' right? I had one such moment yesterday and found another set to use those gorgeous shades of cyan and lime that Tracey treated us to over at Color Hues #58 .
Before I show you my card, I just wanted to sing the praises of a tiny little hero in my studio - this simple little tool really makes a difference in stamping! Especially when layer-stamping... here's what I mean:
Can you see the difference? The bottom bloom was stamped with Altenew inks - it's good but look how much clearer the top one is after I treated the stamp to a little conditioning with one of their stamp conditioning erasers! You know when conditioning is needed when the ink beads up on your stamp - we've all seen it!
You can tell that little bugger has been a workhorse around here! ha!
