Christmas Sparkle

Hi, I’ve got one last peek at the Clearly Besotted September release.  Today I’m featuring Christmas Sparkle – a small set that packs a lot of punch!!  The first card has the tree stamped and embossed in silver along with the GORGEOUS sentiment that is also in the set.  I used the die that co-ordinates with the tree and added some sparkle with Star Dust stickles.

Christmas Sparkle 1

The second card also uses the die but this time to cut a mask which I placed on a white card panel.  I then blended some Mint to To Be pigment ink from Avery Elle to lay down the shape of the tree.  Once that was dry I stamped the tree over the top in Versamark and embossed it in white.  I added white liquid enamel spots to the centres of the snowflakes on the tree and also to a die cut heart and the tree trunk (that I cut from hand).

Christmas Sparkle 2

The sentiment was stamped in the same Mint to To Be ink and the panel was mounted onto to some co-ordinating cardstock.  I finished it off with a little twine bow and the card was done!!

The release goes live at 10pm tonight so make sure you stay up and get your order in – you don’t want to miss out!!

Thanks for stopping by xx

You’re “Sew” Kind

Hello again – back with another card featuring one of the new stamp sets from the Clearly Besotted’s September release called “Sew Special”.  This set has a gorgeous dress form image and lots of other handy little haberdashery-themed bits and pieces – so pretty.

First I created the background using distress ink pads by pressing them onto an acrylic block and then spraying with water and then stamping down onto a piece of water colour paper.  The distress inks blend beautifully and you end up with a gorgeous water-coloured area for your focal image.  Once that had dried I stamped the dress form and sentiment in Versafine ink and finished with a couple of pearls.
