hi hi hi!
and oh my gosh you guys...this release is so completely amazing! I'm in LOVE with each new set, and I can't wait for you all to see it, too! it's so celebratory and FUN!
today we're starting the week off with the new Holding Happiness Stamp Set + coordinating Die and Bubbly and Confetti Stencils!
you can totally create a project life type spread, gift tags and, of course, cards! all of the new sets will be available for purchase on March 16th, right here!
here's my first card:
clean, simple and pops of color and texture! sounds good to me!
I colored in the images with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers, and the used the coordinating dies to cut it out!
I love some vanilla cake with strawberry frosting, so that's how I colored it in! lol!
I masked off a narrow strip from top to bottom on the right side of the card and used the new Confetti Stencil with white embossing paste to add the texture!
this card just begged for some sequins, so I obliged!
for my second card, I used a little bit more color:
ok a lot of bit more color! ha!
I LOVE that background! I used the Sky Borders Die set to create a mask, and then did some ink blending with Distress Inks in Picked Raspberry, Dried Marigold and Mustard Seed to create the cloudy fun!
I was SOOOO super tempted to color the balloons in rainbow fashion...because hello rainbows!! ha ha! but I decided to go with different pinks! I love it!
