This second sample for today is just one of several awesome images illustrated by Trudy from We Go Together, a stamp set of 10 for only $9.99. This set is a definate must have. Let me point out something very important about this image... I added the word "Soy" at the top of the milk carton. I did this for one simple reason, I am allergic to dairy, so the obvious choice for me is Soy Milk. I used a regular pen and wrote it in on top of my stamped image. The actual image does NOT have the word SOY on it. I just thought it would be fun coming from me. ;o)

October Sneak Peeks Day Two !!

Hello and welcome to Clear Dollar Stamps October Sneak Peeks Day Two! Today I am showcasing the adorable Filled with Cheer, a set of 14 for only $12.99. This set is really fun and has so many possibilities. For this first example, I masked the three stockings then paper pieced them with fun Christmas dp.

Paper: Old Olive, Real Red, Very Vanilla, Merry Moments dsp

I watercolored the main image using Clear Dollar Stamps Clearly Coordinating Hybrid Inks, Strawberry Jam and Spruce Needle.

September Sneak Peeks Day One!

Here we are again! Clear Dollar Stamps Sneak Peeks time! The very best time of the month! Today I have two cards to share from this elegant new release stamp set, A Season of Wonder.
The very moment I saw this stamp set, I envisioned paper piecing her head-piece with this exact paper and pairing it with the moroccan screen embossing folder. Sometimes, ideas dont really come to fruition, but, today, I am thrilled with the results.

Details:
Stamps: A Season of Wonder (CDS)
Paper: Lakeshore textured & Crushed Curry textured cs,

For my second example, I wanted the image of Mary and Baby Jesus to be the main focus, and with that line of thought, I chose to use whisper white and labels 7, which reminds me of an open book, the Bible perhaps ... also the dsp reminds me of the starry night on the night of His birth.



Stamps: A Season of Wonder (CDS)
Paper: Whisper White, unknown dp
Ink: Momento Tuxedo Black, Dusty Durango
Coloring Medium: Prismacolor Pencils & Gamsol
Tools/Accessories: Dusty Durango ribbon, unknown edge punch

Hi again! It is day 3 of Clear Dollar Stamps Sneak Peeks. I think I am just as excited as I was on day one! I am so honored and blessed to be apart of this lovely and talented group of ladies! Ok, enough of that, lets get onto the 2 cards I have to share with you today!

This second card turned out to be a little more on the 'elegant' side. I was again inspired by the dp. I paired the spiral image on the cage with the spiral dp with the spiral edge punch. I pulled my color choices from the dp as well. I again used my Clearly Coordinating products, Tombow markers and the Melon Spice ribbon from the Rustic Fall collection.
