I tried the Pencil Indenting technique with this one on the grass and the dog to add some texture. You can see it here at Splitcoast. It's really very easy to do. I think this is one of my very first stamps I ever got many many years ago and I still love it to this day!!

Here's another version of the Hero Arts June kit of the month. I see it's already sold out! I love it!! I watercolored the palm trees and the plants on the die cut. I made this for my husband for Father's Day. We'll have a full house here for spaghetti on Sunday night and I am making a homemade key lime pie for dessert. It's been awhile since I've made it but it's so easy! (I added the key lime pie link below)
