Welcome to the CDD March Stamp Release Blog Hop.
Here's what I've created for you...
This first card uses the Build A Scene stamp set. I wanted to show the versatility of this set by making a sympathy card (not my favourite card to make).
I simply stamped the tree and coloured it fully with a black marker to create a silhouette image. I stamped a few of the grass sprigs at the base of the tree, hand drew a line from one of the branches and attached a punched heart shape to the end of it. I added some clear gems randomly around the tree and added a layer of glitter pen. I used the Fancy Frame Dies, Stitched Scallop Dies and the Simply Said stamp set to finish the card. Here is a close up:
My next project is much happier!! I used the new Toad You set to make a "pop art" kind of card!!
I clear embossed the toad four times onto some watercolour paper. I chose bright, pastel, springlike colors for this card. I used my Stabilo pens (totally addicted to these right now!) to color in this cute little guy! I stamped the sentiment first is Versafine Black Onyx ink then stamped the lily pad over top so I could watercolour it. I then fussy cut the lily pad/ sentiment. I used the Fancy Frame dies here as well (addicted to those also) and mounted everything with dimensional adhesive. Here is a closeup:
