Clearly Besotted teasers continue!

Teaser TimeI told you this month was going to be another awesome release at Clearly Besotted didn’t I?  Have you been following the teasers over at Steph’s blog?  Tempted yet? I have a couple of cards to share with you today using three of the new sets being released this month.

First up is this one featuring Dandelion Dreams.  The flowers are white embossed onto a vellum panel overlaying a sponged layer I did with a combination of distress inks and dye inks.

Teaser Time at Clearly Besotted.

Teaser Time

YES – it’s already that time of the month where we start showing some sneaky peeks of what’s new in store over at Clearly Besotted Stamps.  I know I say it every month but the February designs really are AWESOME!  I LOVE the set that I’m featuring today SO much!  I can’t wait to show you what I’ve been making!

Make a Splash

Garden Fresh is a gorgeous new set featuring lots of polka-dotty images including these sweet little wellies.  They are the perfect companion image for the previously released April Showers set – could there be a better sentiment for this card?

All the new products will be available to purchase on 5th February at 10pm – set your alarm though – if you’re too slow you’ll miss out!!!

Pop over to Steph and the rest of the DT’s blogs for more fantastic inspiration and a peek into what’s coming up this month!  I’ll be back tomorrow with more sneaks – hope to see you then

Channeling my inner Debby!

Hiya!  Did you follow the Online Card Class: Stencilled recently?  I did and have to say it is one of my favourites yet!  I LOVED it!  I have a few stencils in my stash and now have so many more ideas to use them.  My lovely friend Debby Hughes once again was such an inspiration and so I took her ideas and came up with this card:

OCC day 3 stencilled

The chicken wire background is actually super-sparkly but it doesn’t show in the photo at all – neither does the shimmer on the birdcage!!  I went over it with a coat of Wink of Stella – Crystal {LOVE}.  Bought myself a few Heidi Swapp mists too – this one is called Seafoam – gives a nice subtle background without overpowering anything – could get addicted to these!
