My new favourite stamp!

Hello 2013 – nice to meet you!  Hope you all had a great start to the new year and are looking forward to a year full of happy things and plenty of crafty time!

I had a chance to play last night with my new Clearly Besotted stamps and I have to say  – they are amazing!  I know I’ve said it before but they really are just fab!  Since Steph showed us the peaks a few weeks ago I knew exactly which of the gorgeous stamp I wanted to ink up first.  It is a beautiful water lily from a set called With Love and if you’re a keen colourer (made that up!) then you will love this set!

Just a Note
Stamps: With Love, With a Flourish (CBS)
Card: Stamper Select White, Raspberry Fizz (PTI)
Ink: ProMarkers, Versamark, Smokey Shadow
Other: Stitched Rectangles (Lil’ Inkers, Glossy Accents.

I added some “water droplets” to the leaves with glossy accents and went to town with my ProMarkers.  I am going to be using this set A LOT!!

If you haven’t seen the new release yet then you MUST go and check it out.  Did I also mention… DIES!!

Thanks for visiting.
