Clearly Besotted: Countdown Teaser, Day 1

Greetings Everyone!

I am very honored and excited to share the Clearly Besotted February Release with all of you.  Each day for Countdown Teasers, I will be sharing a part of the release.  I was very inspired by spring and the hope and renewal that come with the season.

The Clearly Besotted release drops February 5th, 8pm (GMT) UK time on the Clearly Besotted website and Simon Says Stamp.  

Today, I am sharing one of my favorite sets, ‘Wonderful Wishes’.  I imagined a whimsical dandelion world with baby critters frolicking about.  I used copic markers to color the images.  I colored the main dandelion stamp on the top and bottom of the card.  I thought of them as borders, I showed a friend and she asked me why dandelions were growing from the sky, LOL!  I then selected 3 cute images making sure I chose one flying in the air and one standing on the ground.  I cut out these images and adhered them to my stamped background.  To add a light mist I used pan pastels in a sage green color.  Pan Pastels need to be set with a fixative and I forgot that I didn’t have any.  Google to the rescue and hairspray can be used when you’re in a jam.  I then stamped the Make a Wish sentiment and added a yellow frame using one of the frame dies in my stash.

I hope you enjoy my card; I had a lot of fun making it!

See you tomorrow!

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

Mama Elephant's #celebrating6years Anniversary Event

Happy Anniversary Mama Elephant!! This release is super SPECTACULAR and I was so happy to work with the Cool Penguins stamp set!  The set comes with the most adorable penguins getting ready to wrap some holiday gifts.  I used the Basic Rectangles die set to create a window opening as these penguin friends are going to wrap their gifts together.  I also really adore the sentiment that comes with the stamp set. I wanted to keep the coloring super simple on this card and used a few light colored Copic markers.  My favorite Copics are the ones that end in 0000 and 000 because I can achieve a light almost watercolor look.   Here are the colors I used: B00, RV02, RV23, YR00, YR000 To finish off the card I wanted to add the star banner from the  Sentiments from a Yeti  stamp set, its one of my all time favorite stamps.  The set also comes with a banner that is oh so cute.  I love stars on a background and used the Lots of Stars Creative Cuts die.  I ink blend
