Doodle Pantry March Release

Good morning!  Doodle Pantry has an exciting new release; there is a great selection of stamp sets which include images, sentiments, and DP, coordinating SVG shapes, and darling mazes.  There is truly something for everyone!

Today I am working with Purse Parfait...I'm a purse fan and I loved the colors.  The set has an awesome selection of purses in different styles, sentiments, and colorful papers.  I went with a pre-colored image, layered it for dimension, then added a bit of glitter.  The background actually consists of 4 squares, but you can't tell because of the angle of the image panel.  I've also added a bit of cheesecloth for texture.

Stamp Set: Doodle Pantry Purse Parfait
Ink: Printer, SU! Black and Lavender Lace Markers
Paper: PTI Winter Wisteria, SU! Taken With Tea
Embellies: Art Glitter in "Angel Dust", Cheesecloth
Extras: Spellbinder's Nestabilities, Foam Tape

You can check out the new release here; click on the sets to get some inspiration from the DT.

Thanks for stopping by!

Bundled Up

Good morning!  We have a new challenge for you at Ruby's Rainbow; for this fortnight, Debbie has chosen our challenge and she would like to see "Texture" on you card.

Hmmm, texture?  Had to think on this one....  Dry embossing was the first thing that came to mind; I also added layers, chunky glitter, fine glitter, a button with twine, and some cheesecloth.  Have seen the cheesecloth on cards in blogland and have always wanted to try it; so glad I did, it was fun!

The image is one of Faith's newer ones...I love it and couldn't wait to color it!  I used pencils then added some glitter...it's a bit hard to see the fine glitter in the photo.  I did some layering and added a glitter covered snowflake and some cheesecloth.  I like the combo of the crisp, hard edges paired with the soft coloring and cheesecloth.
