Exciting new releases!

I am sure most of you already know of the fabulous PaperArtsy, if you have yet to fall in love with their stuff then head over to their shop and have a rummage.

For the next 3days, on the PAPERARTSY BLOG you will see some sneaks of brand new releases of rubber stamp collections. Today the collection features new stamps from  Jo Firth-Young.

I was very lucky to be asked to try out the new stamps and make some samples for this weekend's show in Birmingham. So I set to work and made 4 art journal pages.

Today I will show you the finished pieces, and then next week..over 4 days.. I will show you the step by step photos for each page.

first up JO FY PLATE 9


I didn't want to use these stamps just as flowers, so I decided to make them into a funky hairdo...(on Monday I will show you the step by step photos)



Next I opened up JO FY PLATE 10


Another super set of stamps, such pretty flowers need to be picked and in vases..( Check back on Tuesday for the step by step photos)



The third set of stamps are JO FY PLATE 11...


This is more of a minimal plate, but with the addition of lots of journalling words that you can mix and match into your own sentences. ( more photos to follow on Wedsnesday)



Finally..JO FY PLATE 12...


Don't ask me why but the bottom flower reminded me of an Easter egg....(check here on Thursday for more photos)



I hope you will agree that they are beautiful stamps, and so very versatile...flowers do not  have to bejust  flowers lol..

These stamps are so brand new they are not even available on the website yet, but keep your eyes peeled as they are coming to a stamp store near you very soon. in the meantime check out the other stamps in the JOFY COLLECTION

Do come back after the weekend for lots more photos of how I put these pages together.
