Teaser Time at Clearly Besotted!

Teaser Time

It’s the start of a new month and that means a new release at Clearly Besotted.  As always there are some gorgeous stamps and dies coming out for November so I’ll crack on and share what I’ve been up to with two of my favourite sets of this release – Naughty or Nice and Birch Trees.

Naughty or nice 1

Now I’m on the fence about this card because I couldn’t think where to put the sentiment!!  I decided rather than try to squeeze one in I would just leave it off – it doesn’t quite seem finished though – hey ho – I guess that happens sometimes!!

Make sure you pop by to visit the rest of the design team and check out their amazing cards. We also have two amazing guest designers – Cindy Lovell and Pia Larsen so you’ve got even more inspiration to get you tempted this month!!  I’ll be back tomorrow with some more sneak peeks – thanks for stopping by.

Hugs,

Whilst the challenge theme doesn’t specify Halloween there’s only one way my mind took this colour co-ordinates palette!  I used the gorgeous and endlessly useful Luminary Circles die from the Stamptember release at Simon Says Stamp and made a cute little shaker card.  The bats are from some table confetti I bought at John Lewis!  I inlaid the circles with the cardstock colours from the inspiration graphic and used acetate for the large centre circle and put a few sequins behind it for some dazzle!!  The sentiment is from Clearly Besotted’s Fright Night stamp set.

I can’t wait to see how you all interpret this week’s challenge.

Thanks for stopping by xxx
