More Flakes from Clear Dollar Stamps!

Hello, I am back with another snowman

 from the Flakes set by Lisa Lara. 

I think this one is my favorite from the set. 

This is the windy snowman.

I added color with colored pencils.

 I cut out his scarf and popped it up

 to give a little more dimension to the card. 

The snowflake corner die

 is a Memory Box die.

Head on over to Clear Dollar Stamps 

and see what is new!

Product Parade day FOUR

Welcome to day Clear Dollar Stamps
 Product Parade day four.


Today's featured sets are:
Bunny Kids
Wedding Cake
and
 Thanks for helping me bloom




Bunny Kids
For my bunny kids card,
 I distressed a circle with 
Antique Linen and Spun Sugar distress inks.
I stamped the images in black ink and
 then colored with colored pencil.
The word Hello is from the For Our Men set.

After coloring, I again went over the colored image 

with a light touch of Antique Linen distress ink.

 I like the antique look it gives.

I then layered it onto a lacy circle (Nestabilites).

Background paper is from My Minds Eye.

I added some cream pearls in the corner.

Wedding Cake

This image I stamped in black onto

 a white label (Nestabilites Label fifteen).

 I added a touch of color with colored pencil.

 I used the large rose from the set, stamped, 

colored, cut them out and mounted 

to card with mounting tape.

I added some purple rhinestones along the sides.

Thanks for helping me BLOOM

I paired the words with an 

older CDS set called Cute Critters.

 I fell in love with this skunk a while ago

 and thought he went perfectly with these words!

I made the tag using my tabs and tags die cut set (CDS).

Background paper is from Bo Bunny. Other paper, Bazzil.

Image is colored with colored pencil.

All images are available from the Clear Dollar Stamps store!
