I love the bokeh technique and Carole Dion has nailed it on the Magenta blog. It's wonderful that the Magenta template is perfect for the technique! And, of course, Carole has used one of my absolute favorite Magenta stamp images!

Marnie Bushmole has made a beautiful card that I think would be beautiful as a Christmas card with a different sentiment stamp.

What's interesting to me is that the greenery is a stamp, not a die cut. The added stickles certainly gives a real dimensional effect.
On the Poppy Stamps' blog there is an adorable shaker card using the new Cover Squirrel stamp and matching die, along with the Shaker Square Frames die-set.

On the IMAGINE Crafts' blog, Penny Ward celebrates Memorial Day with an American Flag. She's using the new StazOn Studio Glaze which will be demo'd at the Art n' Soul Birthday Party on June 14. Did we mention that John Creighton Petersen will be there to show off the new products from IMAGINE Crafts?

Dina Kowal shows us a beautiful watercolor card. She has used a peel-off from Elizabeth Craft Designs to contain the colors. Of course, she uses that new Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens that we've been drooling about since seeing it first on Sandy Allnock's blog. To add new products to be intrigued about, Dina also uses the Akashiya Sai markers. Both are available on Amazon.

Susie bought a set of the Zig pens and seems to like them and the brush size. She experimented on these coloring postcards . . .

I think I'm going to have to order the Postcard Stamp from Penny Black (1369L). I love what Jill Foster creates with that background stamp.
