Clearly Besotted May Release – 4 more cards

So here we are – the Clearly Besotted May 2015 release will be available at 10pm this evening and to finish off my samples I have, 4 YES 4 more cards to share.  The first features the new April Showers Additions set – a wee add on to the previously released April Showers.  I selectively inked the sentiment using some gorgeous bright rainbow colours (Ranger dye inks <3) and added some texture with a few Doodlebug Sprinkles.

My second card features the new Ribbon Flowers stamp set.  Here I coloured one of the images using Spectrum Noir Aqua markers and then mounted the panel onto a wee 4-bar card made from Papertrey Ink Spring Moss cardstock.

My next two cards feature the ABSOLUTELY AMAZING (sure-to-sell-out-in-minutes) Shaker card dies created in collaboration with Lucy Abrahms.  I am in love with these dies – I just can’t put into words how much!  By the way – don’t you love the woodgrain papers I used on this first card?  Stephanie now stocks a great range of paper pads at the Clearly Besotted store as well as a ton of other products – check out all the new additions HERE!.

Avery Elle – Fly By

I’m over on the Avery Elle blog today with a card featuring the gorgeous Fly By stamp set and dies.  I actually went for a different look and rather than use the aeroplane image I focussed on the cool sentiment dies that are included in the die collection.  I’m really into stripes at the moment (just take a look at my last few blog posts) and the Avery Elle patterned paper packs all contain a fabulous diagonal stripe paper in them.  I used the black and white one for this card from the Neutrals collection.  I also used some gold foils to give the die cut sentiment and hearts a shiny look.

It’s a bank holiday here in the UK today so I’m having a bonus day off from work – hope you’re having a great day wherever you are.

Everything Changes: Clearly Besotted May release

Clearly Besotted are well known for lots of things – their unrivalled customer service, high quality products and trendy, unique designs.  Two things they do really, really well are flowers (check out all the floral sets here) and butterflies.  You’ve already had a glimpse at the new floral sets being released this month and today I’m featuring a brand new butterfly set.  These are a little different in that they’re a side view rather than front view – if that makes sense?!  There are both solid and outline images too so something for everyone!  I coloured the butterflies in Copics and added some coordinating sequins from a mis by Lucy’s Cards.
