and squeezed lemonade distress oxide inks.

Stamp Anniething June Release Day 3

Welcome to Day 3 of the previews for the Stamp Anniething June Release!!

On today's project I used the new "Jerome - Gnome" stamp and outline die.  I also used a few dies from the new "Woodland Builder Die Set".  The sentiment is from "Adalaid - Hiya Gnomie" which we previewed on Day 2 of the release.  


One of my goals for 2020 was to work on using darker skin tones on my card images.  I am still working on that on finding my favorite color blends for darker skin tones so feel free to share with me some of your favorite Copic combos!!

I also pulled out an embossing folder and used that on my card for today and to be honest, I cannot remember the last time I used an embossing folder!! 

Thanks so much for stopping by today!!

Stamp Anniething June Release Day 2

Welcome to Day 2 previews of the Stamp Anniething June Release!!
This release has 3 new images and coordinating outline dies along with a new stencil, a die set 
and a word die.  The theme for this release is "gnomes" and it is all so cute!!

Here is the sneak peek for Day 2 -


I used the new "Adalaid - Hiya Gnomie" image and outline die.  I also used the new "Woodland Builder Die set" for my foliage and the new "Tree Bark Stencil" for my background.  I added two sentiments - the stamped one is from yesterday's sneak peek set "Victoria - Awesome and Gnome It" and then I used the new "Greetings" word die and layered it with some matching cardstock.  For the paper piecing on the gnome's hat I selected some paper from the "Love My Pets" grab and go box.
