Greetings everyone! It's Monday again, which brings another creation from Kitchen Sink Stamps! This week however, we have new releases to share with you so that makes this particular Monday a little more special! If you stop by Maria's blog, you can see some previews of the four new stamps sets being released tomorrow (Tuesday, January 6th), and you can also enter for a chance to win all four of the new sets!
The set that I have to show you is called Love Birds, except that you can plainly see, I did not make a lovey-dovey card with it today. I unfortunately have a need for a sympathy card right now, so I thought I would use the dove from the stamp set combined with the "peace" sentiment from the 3-Step Bells set to create this card.
I stamped the dove on Bordering Blue cardstock from Stampin' Up! using the following inks for the 5 layers...
1. SU! Whisper White craft ink
2. Brilliance Platinum Planet ink
3. Momento London Fog (stamped off once)
4. Momento London Fog (stamped full-strength)
5. Brilliance Midnight Black (inked very lightly and slightly stamped off once)
Not everyone on the Kitchen Sink Crew has received their new stamps yet (whatsamatter with the post office... don't they know stamps should get high-priority delivery?) but the crew members who don't have sneak peeks for you will still have some awesome creations to share using other stamps from Kitchen Sink, so be sure to stop by their blogs today!

I thought my computer had done a switcheroo on me this morning-I usually see your photo on the left and this morning was on the right! Like your springy looking banner and your card is very pretty-like the dove image.
