SNEAK PEEK: Clearly Besotted|Just Darling

March 3, 2015

Hello! I am back with 2nd sneak peak for Clearly Besotted March Release. Today I am sharing a easy coloring flower card. I am so in love with this Just Darling Stamp Set, lots of companies have been coming out with beautiful flower stamps and I gotta say this is one of my very favorites!

Couple weeks ago I purchased couple different colored pencil sets to try. I have been wanting to expend my coloring medium collections and have been debating between Prismacolor and Faber-Castell. Both of them have their own avid fans and haters and I couldn’t decide which one to go with. So, I purchased basic sets from both companies and decided to try them on my own. I will share more thoughts on them after using them for few weeks.

STF - 20150302-1

I simply colored the each flower with different color shade to pop them out nicely. To color in the flowers I used 2 shades from each color family. Faber-Castell is an oil based pencil products and they go on really smoothly and easy to blend together. I have been loving them so far!

Pictures don’t do justice, but I actually added lots of soft, subtle shimmers on the card. I used Distress Spray Stain Brushed Pewter for the main layer and Wink of Stella on the card base. Make sure to watch the video above to see how I did it!

What a colourful card, so clean and beautiful and fresh! I like coloured pencils and would really love to try faber castell one day! I just use the odds and sorts that I have, including 3 or 4 prisma colours. They all have different qualities! Thanks for the video tutorial as well, it makes it so much easier to see how to do something!

    Happy Holidays and for those who are celebrating, Merry Christmas- Many of us are spending today in an unusual way this year, and many of us are also remembering those we lost. I ask that you keep others in your thoughts this holiday season 💕 sending hugs and loves to your way ❤️❤️

Made cookies and cheesecake brownies for our next door neighbors who are spending today alone. I added a little touch with stamps and inks to dress up the cookie boxes 🎁

    Happy view 🥰🥰 New ink storage system for my office/studio desk. I wanted the most used inks right at my fingertips and these Alex drawers hold them perfectly. I am keeping both full sized and cubes together, along with 1 mini cube blending tool for each color family. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 #scrapsandstamps #inkstorage #craftroom #craftroomorganization #homestudio
    Good morning and happy Saturday lovlies!! 👋🏻👋🏻 I just realized my last post about 3-4 months ago was a glance at my studio. Lots of things happened in the past few months and Ive been just too stressed out that I lost my desire to craft. 😣Its been a rough yr for everyone and Im ready for a new start! 😍 Are you?? Im going to start working towards getting some routines where I can feel better and add creativity back to life. Why wait till Jan? We can start now 💕

I just moved and finally got around to finishing up my studio. Im such a perfectionist that it took me a while to get everything where I wanted. 😅 Im happy how it turned out and grateful that I can still have a place to work and craft. Im excited to share projects with you soon 🥰🥰🥰

    Took a couple of days off this week to recharge - mental break helps a lot! 👍🏻 While I enjoyed stay-home break, I finished swatching all of #danielsmithwatercolors - now I’ll build my own palette from these and start doing some watercolor with them. Seeing all these made me really happy 🥰🥰 Swatching watercolors are one of my fav ways to distress. What creative projects are you working on this weekend?? #watercolorswatches #watercolor #danielsmithwatercolor #danielsmithartistsmaterials #colorswatches

    I decided to do something new and challenging during this #stayathome time. Took a beginner calligraphy class by @piecescalligraphy and I cant believe how fast 90min went by!! 😍😍 I have a lot of practice to do but really enjoyed learning. These are some of the things we did. My p’s are pretty horrible 😂😂 Cant wait for the next session!

    Happy Monday everyone- 💕💕 I was itching for a change so the other day I moved things around a bit in my studio. (This happens more often than not 😂) Even just a tiny bit of change can bring a big difference and give a fresh feel to your daily norm. Controlling what we can and not losing hope 🙏🏻 I wish you a fabulous and lovely week ahead 💙

    More therapeutic watercoloring session - I find taking the time to color each image with watercolor really helps me to relax. I think it has to do with a slow moving, soft transition of the pigments and water.

This card was made using a brand new #altenewstatementflowers stamp set and #altenewspringgarden
