Hi everyone and welcome to AnnaBelle Stamps release day! I'm so excited to be sharing these with you, so I'll get right to it.
Todays card is for the sketch challenge over at AnnaBelle's Blog, so be sure to check the other DT cards and have a go at it :) The first stamp set I've used is called Flowers For You and has 26 stamps!
The images have been stamped with Palette Burnt Umber, and coloured with Twinkling H2O's. I used Classic Square Spellbinders to cut the image out, embossed it, and lightly sponged. The larger outer square is too large for a Spellbinders die, but I wanted the same look as the smaller square, so I took the largest die and held it in place to sponge and just moved it around to each corner.
The smaller words from the set fit neatly inside the fatter vases - I'll show you card soon! - but just shows how you can change the look around....Different vases and different flowers each time. So cute!
The next stamp set used on this card is called Flourishes. Now you might be thinking that you can't see another stamp on the card? Well you'd be right, you can't see it any more! The bling on this card was created with this stamp set
:
I stamped the swirl from the top right hand corner of the set and then I added the new 3mm Metallic Cocoa drops on top of the dots using Glossy Accents. Isn't that just so groovy! Now don't be thinking that this takes forever to do, it doesn't really take too long at all. I just go 'dot' 'dot' 'dot' with the glue then add the Sprinkles or Pearls on top, I might straigten with my craft knife, and then I go 'dot' 'dot' 'dot' again. LOL that probably sounds funny, and I'm thinking I must say that when I'm doing it! I hope to have a video done very soon just to show you how easy it is! (as soon as I learn how to edit and upload)
So that's two sets, and here are the others...
I have lots of new Sprinkles to show you as well! There are 12 new 3mm & 4mm Sprinkle colours, 6mm, 8mm and 10mm Sprinkle Hearts in Icicle, Chilli and Blossom. Two new 3mm & 4mm Metallic colours - my favourites. New Pearl Hearts in 6mm, 8mm and 10mm, and Pearl Drops in 4mmx6mm and 5mmx8mm in both white and cream pearl.
Phew, I think that might be enough for today. Don't forget to visit the AnnaBelle blog, we are now on Facebook and you will find the link there, and I think there might be a special offer for Facebook fans only, so go take a look!
Well today is my birthday (45 sssshhhhh) and my boys and I are off to do some jobs in town and enjoy a coffee at my favourite cafe! Until tomorrow, happy stamping,
