Clearly Besotted, the MISTI and a video!

Hey – so as one of my 2015 goals I fancied having a go at making some more videos and today I’m sharing my first one.  I have created a fairly simple card using the MISTI (Most Impressive Stamp Tool Invented)- if you haven’t come across this tool yet then check it out at My Sweet Petunia.  Iliana has a ton of great videos showing all the things you can use the MISTI for so I recommend you take a look.   Simon Says Stamp also stock it but it is currently on reserve – the demand has been enormous!  For my card I used one of the brand new stamp sets from Clearly Besotted (available to purchase at 10pm tomorrow night – 5th Feb) called Simple Silhouettes.  If you watch my video – please be gentle – I know I say “umm” a lot, I need to work on that!!  Here’s my card:

Friends Forever

and here’s the video.

Of course I HAD to work with some of my gorgeous Clearly Besotted products for this challenge – how could I not??  I used one of the new stamp sets from the January 2015 release – Baby Shower.  I stamped the elephant on linen cardstock with Raspberry pigment ink from Avery Elle.  I love the textured effect – it looks like the elephant is made of fabric!  I made this card for a friend who recently had his frst baby so to personalise it I used the new Elle’s Alphas stamps for the date and Lawn Fawn’s Milo’s ABC’s for the name.  I created the aperture using the Simon Says Stamp stiched circles.

 

anything goes cbs
