Good morning and welcome to Day Three of the February Release teasers at Clearly Besotted. Today I am sharing a super simple card, how cute are those foxes...

This card features just one of the stamps from the Clearly Besotted Rain Down Line Up Stamp Set. It's such a fabulous set it has three of these large images - the foxes, some frogs & rainbows. I coloured the cute foxes with Copics and cut out the stamped image. I created a ombre style background using Kitsch Flamingo Ink alogn with a little Tea Dye underneath.

Simple Christmas Wreaths

Morning crafty friends and what a chilly one it is here this morning. Today I am sharing a couple of quick Christmas cards that I've made...
 

For these cards I used Concord & 9th Boughs & Holly Stencil Pack. I used various inks with the stencils to create two different coloured wreaths. I used my MFT Merry Christmas Die-namics Die to create the layered sentiment. I die cut the back piece several times and glued them together to create a more 3d sentiment. I also added a few clear bubble embellishments onto each card.

I created a subtle background using some green and blue inks along with my MFT Slimline Cloud Edges Stencil. I added a strip of stripe paper, a printed sentiment and some heart gems to finish.

Hello Sweet Friend

Hi crafters, I hope you are all coping in this heat we have in the UK right now! Today I am sharing another one of my one layered sentiment cards. I do love creating bright rainbow blends, they're so much fun...

This was part of my One Layer & Stencils project in Crafts Beautiful. I used my MFT Watercolor Wash  Stencil to create that fun shape. I blended lots of Distress Oxide Inks to create a rainbow background effect. I then placed my Time For Tea Chic Chevron Stencil over the top and again blended the same colours over the top to make it nice and bright! I created the sentiment using Altenew Mega Brush Alpha Stamps and simply stamped it directly on top.  I then splattered the whole thing with black and white inks with a touch of water. I added the sweet friend stamped sentiment and added Dew Drops to finish.
