Smile and Celebrate!

Hello – I have a couple of cards to share today featuring two of the brand new stamp sets from Clearly Besotted.  The first is another of the gorgeous outline floral sets that Stephanie is JUST.SO.GOOD.AT!  I just love this one and this daffodil is just the perfect image for welcoming Spring.

My second card uses a set called Sunburst and it’s SO useful for building up a fabulous and funky pattern using all the cool elements in the set.  Don’t you love the colours of the inks I’ve chosen?  They’re the new Ranger dye ink pads and I think I may actually be in love!

I made good use of my MISTI again on both of these cards.  On the first I was able to get a super-deep impression of the sentiment by stamping twice eliminating the blotchy image of the first generation.  On the second card I used the MISTI to accurately place the different images to build up the sunburst images.  This tool is just so darn useful!!

Thanks for stopping by – make sure you pop to the see the rest of DT for lots more inspiration.

I had so much fun creating this card – as soon as I saw the In My Heart stamp set from Mama Elephant, I immediately envisioned this little girl popping up out of the cupcake (from Carnival Cupcakes, also by Mama Elephant).  I had to practice a few times to get it right but once I had figured out the logistics it all came together perfectly!  I thought the Doodlebug Springtime paper pad with all of it’s gorgeous happy colours and patterns would be perfect to use on this card and of course the sprinkles are just the icing on the cake (literally!!!).  Just pull up the candle and out she pops – love it!

Clearly Besotted March release – On Your Day

Teaser Time

Hello – I’m back today with a sneak peek at a stunning new set coming from Clearly Besotted this month called On Your Day.  It is a gorgeous floral set with a great wreath building element to it – I just love it.  I kept my card quite simple  and stamped the stem and flowers using the MISTI so I was able to line them up perfectly and double stamp to get a nice, deep impression.

 

On Your Day

 

Thanks for stopping by – make sure to check out the rest of the designs the team has come up with today by visiting the Clearly Besotted blog and following the links from there xxx
