Clearly Besotted February Challenge.

Challenge

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!

Clearly Besotted Challenge – LOVE

ChallengeHello, here with details of this month’s challenge over at Clearly Besotted Stamps.  If you’re new to CBS then where have you been??? LOL!  Steph and Jenny are an amazing team who produce top quality stamps and dies, on trend designs and customer service that literally cannot be beaten.  I’m so lucky to be one of the design team members and every month starting at 10am on the 10th Steph hosts a challenge.  The only rule is you must use at least one CBS product to qualify for the prize.  The theme for the month of January is “LOVE” and with all the gorgeous stamps available at CBS I’m sure you will all come up with something beautiful!  Check out all the DT inspiration and full details on Steph’s blog.

So onto my card.  I have used the newly released Key To My Heart stamp set and dies and the Love Hearts stamps and dies.  I made a stencil using the Simon Says Stamp Falling Hearts die (one of my favourite products ever) and mixed some translucent embossing paste (tinted with food colouring gel of all things!!) to give me a soft pink shade to match in with the inks (Mama Elephant).

Well, that’s it from me for today.  I hope you get a chance to play along with this month’s challenge and can’t wait to see all your creations.

Hugs,

Caryn

Better late than never!

ChallengeHello, sorry I’m sharing this a wee bit late but as they say, rather late than never. The November Challenge over at Clearly Besotted kicked off yesterday with a festive CHRISTMAS theme.  My card features the gorgeous poinsettia from Pretty Poinsettias and I’ve layered it a bit and coloured it with Copics.  The sentiment is a couple of Memory Box dies that I’ve coloured in a two-tone effect, again with Copic markers.
