Oh my gosh....Create with Connie and Mary time has rolled around again and I've got NEW STUFF to show off! This is such an exciting time of year. We're all coming down off the holidays and what's there to look forward to now? The NEW occasions catalog and Sale-a-bration! Both catalogs are chock full of fun, beautiful new stamps and supplies!
To go along with our fabulous sketch this week, I chose to get color inspired by CAS Colours & Sketches #204 and Sunday Stamps #143. I'm also entering in SIP#80 for the card makers choice, and SUO #165 which challenges us to use new stuff.
So, can you spot the new stuff? Well the flowers are from a beautiful new set called {Special Reason} and have Stylish Stems coordinating dies. One of my very favorite new products is the Hexagons texture folder. It gives a super deep impression like my beloved Cable Knit folder. I just love the look of these awesome impression folders.
Another new accessory showcased on this card is the Falling in Love DSP and Falling in Love embellishment (the center of the big flower). I'm super excited about these new products and can't wait to use them more. I love the Special Reason flowers because they look a little worn. It looks like I didn't get enough ink on them, but that is the look of that stamp. I thought it lent itself nicely to a shabby chic look, which is another thing I'm quite fond of.
Here's a list of all my supplies....
Stamps: Special Reason, Thoughtful Banners, Teeny Tiny Wishes, Hardwood
Ink: Sweet Sugarplum, Pink Pirouette, Soft Sky, Crumb Cake
Paper: Sahara Sand, Sweet Sugarplum, Very Vanilla, Soft Sky, Falling In Love DSP
Accessories: Falling in Love embellishment, Hexagon Texture Folder, Stylish Stems framelits, metal rim pearls, lace trim, very vanilla satin ribbon
Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!
