Elegant Butterflies…

… is the next set I’m highlighting from the new March release from Clearly Besotted Stamps. This set is just beautiful and is sure to be just as popular as Stephanie’s Butterfly Wishes set – one of the very first ones she ever released (wow, that seems like AGES ago now!!). The possibilities with this set are just endless and with the ever-important co-ordinating dies, I predict this is going to, quite literally, fly off the shelves on release night!! The first card shows three of the butterfly images included in the set and I have stamped them in Memento Tuxedo black and then coloured them with Copics.

My second card is little less “clean” – I’ve been at it again with my Heidii Swapp colour shine mists (LOVE them). I die cut the stem from Leafy Accents Die Collection from masking paper then adhered it to my card before spraying the mists (Seafoam and Gold Lame). When you remove the mask you are left with a subtle, outline effect where the masking paper was. It’s easier to see the effect (and of course it’s much more shimmery) in real life!!

That’s it for today but I have even more tomorrow so hope to see you again then!!

Don’t forget – the new release will go live at 10pm on Wednesday 5th March!

Hello – I’m back with more Clearly Besotted March release peaks and today I’m highlighting Furry Friends. This cute lil’ pup is just one of the critters in this set – I just love him!! The set features both kittens and puppies and some fab little punny sentiments to go with. Both of my cards today also feature some of Stephanie’s new stand alone dies which she sneakily released last week. The notebook edge die is fabulous – I’m going to get LOTS of use out of that one!! The little patch of grass is very cute too – don’t you think?

I hope you get a chance to go and visit the rest of the design teams’ blogs and don’t forget Lucy and Jo – our March guest designers! And pop back tomorrow if you wanna see more!!

P.s – Inlinkz isn’t playing nice with me right now so I will try to add my product links at a later date!!

The Clearly Besotted March Release sneak peaks are HERE – YAY!!!!

Ok, I think that is a personal best for “length of blog post titles” there!! YES, it’s the 2nd of the month which means it’s time to officially start the sneaky peaks of what’s to come in the March release from Clearly Besotted Stamps. Stephanie has done it again – 6 amazing stamp sets and dies and they are all AWESOME!!! Today I’m highlighting my favourite of the bunch – Fabulous Fuchsias! I adore this set – fuchsias are one of my all time favourite plants (and they remind me of my dad who loves them too). The colour options with this set are endless but I have gone for traditional, true-to-nature colours on my two cards for today.

And a pretty in pink one too:

They are all glittery in real life (nothing escapes my clear Wink of Stella brush these days) but it doesn’t show in the photos sadly!! This set has some love sentiments and font combinations too – I just LOVE it!!

Well make sure you pop back tomorrow for some more peaks and don’t forget to check out the rest of the DT. We also have the amazing Lucy Abrahams and Jo Neville as guest designers – yippeee – love their blogs – go check em out!!

Thought I’d share this over at my new favourite challenge blog too – The Card Concept where the current challenge is to use a floral theme. These both fall into my comfort zone style – Clean and Layered (I think!!)
