Welcome to the Artful INKables new release Blog Hop! If you haven't come here from
MICHELLES BLOG, then you will want to start at the Artful Inkables Blog so you don't miss anything along the way. You are going to love this release, we are releasing 3 full size stamp sets and a new mini this month, there is something for everyone! Be sure to follow us all the way to the end and make sure to leave a comment on everyone's blog, you never know which blog we'll be choosing a winner from! You will have until Thursday, May 20th at midnight Eastern Standard Time to comment on all the design team blogs for a chance at the blog hop goodies!

Today, I'm showing you a luminaria made with the BUG & BLOSSOM MANDALAS SET.
I used a tutorial I found on SCS but made it a bit bigger to accommodate the size of the stamp. My kids aren't quite ready for marriage but I think this would make a pretty centerpiece for wedding reception tables.
I put one of the battery operated tea lites inside, love those little things.

The next stop on the hop is JACKIE, have fun bloppin!
