Good Evening! Wow I'm really excited to show you some samples of Theresa Momber's newest stamp set "Purrr-fectly Delightful".

This first image, vase of flowers is colored with prisma pencils with OMS and highlighted with a white gel pen. Cardstock is from Gina K. Designs.

My last sample I have is a fun one! Melanie Muenchinger had this template of the pop-up desk free on her blog and I just had to try it. I combined sets for this one, the lamp is from Nina Brackett's "Lovely shelf", the perfume bottles are from Rupa Shevde's "Retro Boutique" and the cat and mouse are from Theresa's "Purrr-fectly Delightful". This is really easy to do and Melanie also has a pattern for an oven, you can get at Gina K. Designs. I got it also but so far don't have anything to cook in it. LOL
