CB Teasers | Thank You

Hello there, happy new year! Welcome to the Clearly Besotted January teasers. From now until the release on the 5th January, the Design Team will be sharing teasers with you using the new products. I am kicking off my teasers by using the new Miniature Floral Collection II stamp set.


I started off by die cutting a SSS Stitched Rectangle using Ranger Watercolour Cardstock. I then took the Cherry Blossom image from the set and stamped this using Versamark ink. I applied a coating of WOW! Bright White Embossing Powder and then heat set. The image was water coloured using Peerless watercolours (my one and only Black Friday purchase!).
 
 
The 'thank you' sentiment, from the Flower Blocks set, was stamped on more cardstock with black ink and then cut in to a strip. This was added to the panel with foam tape. The panel was adhered to a 3.75"x5" card base. I then added a few Icicle sequins to finish.

PEERLESS WATERCOLOURS: Jackqueminot Pink, Daffodil Yellow, Grass Green, Dark Green, Turquoise Blue, Sky Blue, Burnt Umber, Warm Sepia.
 
I think these images are great for small cards, like I have made today, or for larger cards too. Please pop over and see Stephanie who will not only have some stunning teasers to share with you, she will also have links to all the DT sharing today. Thank you so much for visiting me today. I want to wish you all a happy, healthy and loved filled 2016 :)
