Fruit, Ltd

Here's another cute image from 
Clearly Digital Stamps,
 designer Austin Owens!
From her Fruit, Ltd set -
 I used the cherry image 
and the words to go with it.

I've had this cherry paper in my stash for a long time ! It's from Kaiser Craft.  I guess it pays to hoard paper!

I colored the image with colored pencils
 and added some twine.

Thanks for stopping today!

Digital Release day for Clearly Digital Stamps!

Hello - it's release day for Clearly Digital Stamps!!
 Always an exciting day!
 Lots of cute new digitals available!

My first card uses a set from Austin Owens called
Zinnia.


I love Austin's digis. They are always so fun to color! I painted this one with watercolor crayons. I like how easy it is to layer the colors. I added a little bit of white paint marker for highlights.

My next card uses more of Austin's designs, this one is from her Borders set. 
I added the XOXO from her Lovey Dovey set for fun.


For this one I used Distress inks as watercolors.
 I also used some trendy tape for something different!

Thanks for stopping by today! 
I hope you will head on over to
 Clear Dollar Stamps and see what is new!
