Digital Release for Clear Dollar Stamps

Hello everyone! It's that time of the month!
 Clearly Digital image release!
Today I am debuting two new digital sets
 available right now at CDS!!

Be sure and check out the CDS blog for info 
and tips on how to use digital images!!

Both sets are from our new designer, AUSTIN OWENS!

My first sample uses her new set:
Sunflower

I REALLY love this sunflower image. 
The bold lines make it really fun to color.
 I used Distress inks as watercolors to color this. 
I added a touch of toffee chalk ink around the edges.

My next card uses Austin's set - Tulips


For this card I also used Distress inks, 
layering shades of pinks and reds.
I love pink tulips! They just make me smile!

Thanks for stopping today! 
I hope you will head over to Clear Dollar Stamps
 and get some of the great new images!!

CIC 61 Sentiments Only

Hello and welcome to the 
Clear Dollar Stamps CIC Challenge #61! 

The challenge this time was SENTIMENTS ONLY.
 I used a sweet new digi designed by our very own Lisa Lara.


As much as I don't want to admit it, snow is not too far away!
I added color to this digi with Tombow markers.
The Snowflake frame and snowflakes are from Spellbinders.
I added some 'snow' with a snow marker.
 It is sort of like liquid applique, but it seemed to puff up more. 
Thank you for stopping today!
I hope you will join us in the CIC Challenge!

I love Birdie! He's one of my favorite characters of Laurie's!

Garden by Austin Owens

Today's post features a lovely digital image
 by Austin Owens for Clear Dollar Stamps.
This one is called "Garden"
I used the words as my focal point and then used
 a flower digi and flipped the image and merged them.

A little distress ink and some colored pencil and you have a nice simple card!

If you have never worked with digis, check out the
 Clear Dollar Stamps Blog for some great tutorials on how to use them!


Thanks for visiting today!
See you soon!
