CDS Sneak Peek- February Pansy

Vicki Conquest is back with another Flower Stamp of the Month - this is February's Pansy. Isn't it beautiful? Purple pansies have always been my favorite so of course I had to use my Tombow Markers to color them in. I love how rich Tombow markers look - I tried Copics on the weekend I'm not quite sold on them yet. My DP is the Wisteria Basic Grey Line and I've paired it with Elegant Eggplant.

CDS Sneak Peek - Rooster

Cock - a - doodle- doo! Is that how you spell it? This Rooster is available as a single stamp from Clear Dollar Stamps on October 1st. I've used a recent Mojo Monday Sketch but have flipped it so it worked with the direction of the stamp. I love the Fall feel to this card - it's my favorite time of the year when you go outside and the air feels nice and crisp. We live close to a park so I love going by it when all the leaves are falling. Ahhhh.... Love it!

PAPER: Gina K Luxury White, Dusty Durango, Choc. Chip, MME DP, Little Yellow Bicycle DP, Watercolor Paper
INK: Versafine Onyx Black

CDS Sneak Peek - Rock On


Rock On is the first set illustrated by Derrick Schaffer available October 1st at Clear Dollar Stamps. As a girl growing up, I always wanted to play the drums. My parents knew better than to give me something loud to have to practice! Instead, I played the flute - something so quiet it wouldn't bother them. So of course, I had to make a super girly card to remind myself of the things I didn't do as a kid. I love the combination of Black and pink (can you tell???). I've tried to keep this card relatively simple to highlight this image perfectly. What girly card wouldn't be complete without a few pearls right?

ALL CDSTAMPS USED: Rock On
PAPER: Gina K Luxury White, Pink Pirouette, Making Memories DP,Bo Bunny DP, Watercolor Paper
INK: Versafine Onyx Black
MARKERS: Tombows
ACCESSORIES and TOOLS: Tombow Markers, Aqua pen, Clear Detail Embossing Powder, Nestabilities, Half Back Pearls
TECHNIQUES: Watercoloring

The girls are rocking it today... Check it out.

CDS Sneak Peek - Dog Days

Kim Teasdale has a cute new set called Dog Days available October 1st from Clear Dollar Stamps. This is another one of my fave sets this month! To have a friend with such amazing creativity is mindblowing. The layout for this card is for our sketch challenge this month. I found the Dog DP at a LSS so I knew I just had to use it and was the starting point for my card. One thing I like about this set is its' sentiments. The outside of the card says "Ruff Day?" and the inside says "Hope your out of the dog house soon".

ALL CDSTAMPS USED: Dog Days
PAPER: Chocolate Chip, Pumpkin Pie, Gina K Luxury White, Unknown DP, Watercolor Paper
INK: Versafine Onyx Black, Pumpkin Pie
MARKERS: Tombows
ACCESSORIES and TOOLS: Ribbon, Tombow Markers, Aqua pen, Clear Detail Embossing Powder, Nestabalities
TECHNIQUES: Watercoloring

Now... what dog doesn't like a few treats? I've made a fun dog treat jar as my second project. This dog image looks like it's just begging for food (the dog bowl is a separate image). I've watercolored the image with my Tombow markers and then matted it a few times using different colors of cardstock and made it into a tag. I've added ribbon around the top of the jar and also a button.

ALL CDSTAMPS USED: Dog Days
PAPER: Chocolate Chip, Pumpkin Pie, Gina K Luxury White
INK: Versafine Onyx Black, Close to Cocoa
MARKERS: Tombows
ACCESSORIES and TOOLS: Ribbon, Buttons, Embroidery Thread, Tombow Markers, Aqua pen, Clear Detail Embossing Powder, Glass Jar from Dollar Store

CDS Sneak Peek - Howdy Partner


Shawne Arnold has come up with a new set called Howdy Partner available October 1st at Clear Dollar Stamps. Isn't this little cowgirl just too cute??? You should see her partner!! He's a good looking guy I tell ya. I've been hoarding this DP for quite some time waiting for just the right card to use it with. How perfect is it? Loving it!!! I've colored the image using my Tombow markers and and Aquapainter. I've cut the image and the scalloped layer using my nestabilities. Can I just say I'm really enjoying my MS Loopy Punch. I bought it right when it came out - I can't believe how in demand they are now.

I have a few more peeks for you today but for now - check out what the rest of the team has come up with for all the sets being shown today.
