Playing Along WIth CASE Study

You know how I love CASE Study challenge blog - I play along as much as I possibly can (and if I don't think of it on a wednesday - they're between challenges on that day)

Here is the inspiration card... 

This card is by Maile Belles

Here is my take on the card... 

  I love to use watercolor - (even if I'm not super duper at it) - I also love to clear emboss and then watercolor. It resists the color and it ends up with such a soft and sweet effect. I'm really attracted to keeping everything neutral except for a spot of color. POP it just works.

I used one of my favorite stamp sets 'Kiss Me' by Sweet Stamp Shop

Thanks for stopping in today - Happy Crafting!

Ribbon Carousel - May Release

Oh boy - it's been a while since I've been on here. Yuck. My poor blog has been completely neglected.... but, if there ever was a 'half year' resolution - I'm going to have one! Work on my blog!!

Anyway, I'm so happy that we're releasing some new stamp sets over at the Sweet Shop today! Hopefully you've made it here from either

1. Sweet Stamp Shop Blog

OR

2. The Ribbon Carousel Blog


Well, we're having a pretty big celebration for the release today - and I'm so thrilled to show off the new stamp sets... Whew, they are SO cool!

Ready to see the new stuff?!

 Austen Obsessed 

 Weird Love 

Eye Love 

I made this card using the heart in the 'Eye Love' set and the 'Drops Background' from last month

I also used my glittering technique that you can see in this video.... I love this technique and find myself using it ALL THE TIME! 

Here is my card using that glitter technique -

 It ended up looking so nice with the glitter ribbon that I had. It's perfect for just about any occasion, dontcha think?! 


Thanks for stopping by today - I hope you take a moment and head over to the Ribbon Carousel Blog (if you didn't come from there) and if you'd like to see more great release stuff - you can come visit us at Sweet Stamp Shop.

Happy Stamping!
