I am starting out with a birthday card, using some of the awesome new dies~

Goodness, I love these balloons!  I opted for a sweet 16 card so die cut my Party Balloons from white cs and colored them with Copics in girlie pinks and purples. Next, the numbers 1 and 6 were die cut in white using the Big Numbers Dies  and colored in ombre fashion.   For the word 'sweet' I pulled out my trusty Alpha LC Typewriter Die to die cut the letters.  

Assembly.  The card mat was stamped with the versatile Starburst Cover a Card Stamp in light pink.  Next, I adhered a monoprint that was made with my gel plate and die cut a circle using the Wacky Stitched Circles Dies. All of the die cuts were then adhered to the card.  The whole thing was adhered to a purple card base and sequins and Wink of Stella were added to finish the card. 

Next up, a slimline card made with a new slimline stamp- and its a beaut!  

Check out this Pier, guys!  The detail is just gorgeous!  The stamp was placed in my MISTI; I inked up the 'pier' portion of the stamp in brown and stamped it on white cs.  Once I was happy with the inking, I carefully inked up the water portion of the stamp with blue inks.  I did a bit of masking of the inked pier to try to keep the blue and brown inks clean.  Once I was happy with the stamped image, I sponged in the sky with distress ink.  I did a bit of masking here as well at the horizon.  The sentiment, Sea You Soon, is perfect for this image.  I stamped it in dark blue in the lower left corner.  The panel was matted with navy cs and then adhered to a kraft card base. 

You can find all of the new release goodies HERE.  

The talented Lynda is your next stop!  Enjoy the hop!
