Birthday Bling

Hello. The other day I had a card featured on the Hero Arts blog. This card features their new Bubble Confetti stencil which is totally fabulous.  Warning: you may need sunglasses before viewing this card… it is BRIGHT. :)
To create the background for this card, I used Hero Arts Neon Pink Spray and a ton of gold glitter.

  This card really shimmers. Well, more than shimmers, it is totally bling!!!

Head on over to the Hero Arts blog for more information, or click here for step by step instructions on how I created the card.
Back soon with more.
Have a great weekend.

So here they are, in their full glory. I've added links to them in the two different stores below:

And Stephanie released three other sets too: the super cute Good Times, Furry Friends and Lovely Labels. Worth checking out. :)
So - did you buy anything?
I'll be back tomorrow with a new card. 
See you then.

Clearly Besotted Reveal Day!


Hello.
Today it's reveal day at Clearly Besotted Stamps. Yay!! This means that at 10:00 GMT tonight, you will finally be able to see (and buy) all of the sets that I have been playing with this week.  What's on your wish list?
And I have a final card to share with you. It uses the Elegant Butterflies stamp set. For this card, I used watercolour paper as the card base. I stamped my butterfly twice and heat embossed each one, then coloured them in using Inktense pencils, added water and some Wink of Stella glitter, and adhered one butterfly on top of the other. The sentiment, which is from the Fabulous Fuchsias set, is also embossed.

I love the shimmer that the Wink of Stella pen creates.  It is subtle and beautiful.

I hope you have enjoyed seeing what I created with Clearly Besotted's gorgeous stamps and dies. Huge thanks to Stephanie for inviting me to be a part of Teaser Time this month.  Stephanie, your products are totally gorgeous. I was honoured to be invited to play with them.
That's it for today, I will be back very soon. I have lots of cards to share. I have been busy…

Thank You Butterflies

Hello. Today is day four of Clearly Besotted Stamps' Teaser Time.
Today I have a card that I created using one of the Elegant Butterflies dies. This was so easy to make. First I added gridlines to a piece of white cardstock so that I would line up the butterflies correctly.  Then I die-cut the butterflies, one at a time before erasing the pencil lines. Next, I cut butterflies from polka dot patterned papers and some silver glitter cardstock. Finally I laid each butterfly into the negative space on the white card and adhered the extra silver butterflies on top, after adding a little stitching.

The sentiment is from the new Fabulous Fuchsias stamp set.

I will be back tomorrow on reveal day. Hope to see you then.
Bye for now.

Birthday Fuchsias

I'm back with my Day 3 card using March release products from Clearly Besotted Stamps. Today's card features stamps and a die from the Fabulous Fuchsias collection.
I adore fuchsias… and we have a lot in our garden. So I was really happy to see this sweet set.
For my card, I stamped the fuchsia on rustic card stock in Hero Arts' Pale Tomato and Butter Bar inks, then stamped it again on a scrap of card in Orange Soda ink. I die cut the orange fuchsia and adhered it over the others. Oh, and I added some Wink of Stella glitter to them all too. (Yes, I have finally jumped on the Wink of Stella bandwagon! And yes, it is delicious.)
The sentiment is also from the Fuchsia set - there are lots of sentiments in this gorgeous mixed font style. LOVE.

Clean and simple with a bit of dimension… And stitching of course!

More to share tomorrow - I hope you are excited to see the release in full on the 5th. :)
Bye for now.

Birthday Banner

It's Day 2 of teaser time for Clearly Besotted Stamps' March release. And today I am featuring the cute Take Flight stamp set and dies.
For my super simple CAS card, I stamped the helicopter and sentiment in Hero Arts Silver Shadow Ink then die cut and adhered onto some Papertrey Ink polka dot paper.  This Silver Shadow Ink is so pretty and looks fabulous stamped on coloured cardstock too.

I also used some Gutermann silver metallic thread to attach the helicopter and banner together.

I'll be back tomorrow with my day three card. See you then.
