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

Teaser Time

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.

especially for youAnd a pretty in pink one too:

Have A Great DayThey 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!!)

sweet birthdayThe splattery background is done with my new Heidi Swapp mist – thanks Debby Hughes for the enablement there, lol!!!  You can’t see how luscious it is but the sentiment and border are stamped in gold Delicata ink – swoon!!

Hey there.  It’s the 10th of the month which means there is a brand new Clearly Besotted Challenge over on Steph’s blog.  This time we have a gorgeous colour palette to inspire your creative juices!

And here’s my take on the colours and photo – I had to reach for my Tasty Treats set when I saw that scrummy cherry and the gingham block from Building Blocks provided the perfect little backdrop!

Feb challenge 2014I thought I’d show a little close-up of the glittery-ness – it never seems to come across in photos does it??
