Hay, everyone! :-) It's day three of the Clear Dollar Stamps April countdown and I have a gob of things to show you today!! First off, I have an adorable set by Wendy Hall to show you called Fun at the Farm. I used the cute horse and the haystacks for my first card and practiced my masking technique, so it looks like the horse is sitting in front of the hay. The animals in this set are just *so* much fun to color! Check out the chicken on the next card...
Isn't that a great saying? I colored the chicken with a ProMarker that I picked up at Ben Franklin and then added her feathers with an E37 Copic. The ProMarkers don't come in as many colors as Copics and they are a little harder to use because they have a bullet tip (think Sharpie pen) instead of the brush nib like the Copics. BUT they are under $3 each, and they blend just fine. I'm not sure if I'll get a lot of them, but it was definitely worth a try!
The next set that I'm previewing today is called Graceful Skater. I immediately thought of the Winter Olympics when I saw this set, so I pulled out a piece of "Frosted" paper and some premade snowflake doodads and made a quick and easy card.Now... are you ready for some news??? Clear Dollar Stamps is releasing some digital images this month!!! Really! I have two of them to show you today that I know you'll **just love**!!
This first image is just so "deer"!! It has wonderful sayings with it, like Special Delivery, Sending Holiday Wishes and this birthday greeting. I just love it! There are a few nice things about digis. They cost less and they take up less room. It's hard to go wrong when you can get a set of 4 digi stamps for $3.00! :-)
All right, in my opinion I saved the best for last. Not only is this my very most favorite CDS Stamp of the Month set *ever*, made into a digi stamp set, but, I also got to use Clear Dollar's new Clearly Coordinating cardstock and ribbon!!! YAY!!! It's much lighterweight than I'm used to, and I wasn't sure how I would like it, but I do! In fact I really, really like it! I can layer and layer and still not have a "top heavy" card. It embosses beautifully, too!! And the colors! The ones I used were Lime Juice, Bubble Gum, Tickled Pink and Bee Pollen. Aren't they fun names?I can't wait to see the whole color lineup as it is released. *And* getting all this for an affordable price... Ahhhh. It makes me smile!!Well, that's it for today! Tomorrow is the last day of sneaks and then you'll be able to start shopping!
Remember to visit the other gals on the Clear Dollar Stamps Preview Team for more inspiration!
Thanks for stopping by!
