This month's New Stamp Set Releases are
Asian Delights Featured July 17
Wild & Free Featured July 18
Garden Art Featured July 19
Hot & Spicy Featured July 20

I made this card with this new set and took my inspiration from the peppers we saw hanging up in Pike Place Market, Seattle.  It was actually beautiful and sunny while there but not too hot.  Inside is reads Don't use the chilli peppers and has a single pepper stamped too.



My second card  is made using the VLVJuly Week1 sketch but I put it together in the wrong order and had to use a little poetic licence to get the sentiment to work in the top box - you can't leave off that sentiment! The background paper, which to me has a Mexican feel was free with a magazine ages ago and the other square is from Basic Grey.

    Very colorful peppers in the first card and I like it. Just the perfect paper from the magazine on the 2nd card.

    Like the cards. I've been to Pike Place Market several yrs ago when hubby & I took a trip to Seattle to see a friend of his. This was over 21 yrs ago before my daughter was born. Your card is HOT looking indeed. These make me think of Tex Mex food.

    Both of these cards are wonderful. Your selection of background papers on both of them are so suited to the images. TFS, I've enjoyed seeing what everyone has put together for us.
