Clearly Besotted: Countdown Teaser, Day 4

Hi Everyone, I hope everyone has been enjoying the Clearly Besotted Countdown Teasers so far. Today, I am sharing 'All Booked Up' I love coloring these stamps that have all the images put together for you.  No masking needed!  As always the Clearly Besotted release will be available on April 1st, on the Clearly Besotted online store or Simon Says Stamp. I created a background using the Splat It Stencil  in blue.  I first ink blended all the splatters with a heavier hand.  After all the paint splatters were created I lightly ink blended the rest of the background without adding additional ink to the brush.  This way the splatter is darker than the background. This stamp set reminded me so much of a show I used to watch as a kid and is near and dear to my heart, Reading Rainbow.  I colored 2 of the stamps and colored the bookshelf in rainbow of course.  I also colored the frog images because I really wanted to color the pencil image. I added white dot detail to the

Clearly Besotted: Countdown Teaser, Day 3

Hi Everyone, I hope everyone is doing well.  Today, I am sharing a card using ‘Peckish Plushies’ part of the Clearly Besotted April Release, available April 1st on the Clearly Besotted online store and Simon Says Stamp. CONFESSION:  I had to google what peckish meant!  So according to Google I am a foodie and the day I made this card we picked up a pizza.  I am so grateful for all the people working out there providing us food.  THANK YOU!   The stamp set comes with a variety of adorable images and I sure will be making future cards with them! Here I took the slice of pizza and made a whole pizza by stamping out the pizza slice six times. I arranged the images in a circle formation and once I was happy with the placement I used Press N Seal to keep the images together.  I used double sided foam adhesive and attached it to the images while it was on the Press N Seal.  I love how the Press N Seal keeps the images in place while I adhere the adhesive. I used a pigment ink

Clearly Besotted: Countdown Teaser, Day 2

Hello Again, Day 2 of the fabulous Clearly Besotted Countdown Teasers for the April Release, this has got to be one of my favorite sets, Parachuting Plushies.  These bunnies are too cute and just also perfect for Spring and Easter cards.  The stamp set comes with two versions of the parachute and would be awesome to color in different color combinations. I was feeling monochromatic today and used a rose pink color for my card and neutral colored bunnies. Copic Markers used: Brown - E40, E41 Rose Pink - R81, R83, R85 Blush - R20 I used the Cloudy Day Stencil for my background using Distress Oxide Ink in Victorian Velvet for the clouds. Finally, for a little encouragement for us all today, I used the sentiment 'BE BRAVE' and added  smaller sentiment 'You can do it'. Parachuting Plushies will be available on April 1st on the Clearly Besotted online store and Simon Says Stamp. I hope you all enjoyed this card today, honestly the card made itself, these

Clearly Besotted: Countdown Teaser, Day 1

Hi Everyone! Rina here, guesting for one of my favorite companies, Clearly Besotted .  I sure ADORE their plushy stamps and all of their cute images, and SCENES.  I absolutely had a blast making this fun shaker card.  I know we are all dreaming of spring, but I do love making some fun winter cards. These sea babies are the cutest, I feel like I love the manatee the most (which, I thought was a walrus but I digress, LOL). This stamp set is called "Sea You Plushies" and will be available on April 1st on the Clearly Besotted online store and Simon Says Stamp. I love that there are 2 of each animal.  Of course I like using all the stamps.  Which is your favorite? Its super easy to make a fun shaker frame by taking a basic rectangle die smaller than your card base and making a frame.  I like to make sure the double sided foam tape I am using fits easily onto my frame.  I filled my shaker with some leftover white foam balls from the holidays.  I also added mini gold st
