Meet Martini Darling

As promised, I have another sneak peek at a soon-to-be released set from Clear & Simple Stamps. Here’s your very first look at Martini Darling, the newest addition to the fabulous Simple Darlings from Clear & Simple Stamps. This just might be my favorite Clear & Simple Stamps set yet!

I based the colors for my card around the patterned paper I used. I've had this fun olive/martini themed paper from Luxe in my stash, just waiting for the perfect image to pair it with. One of the Darlings from the set is colored with Copic markers to coordinate with the colors in the paper. I added some details with a Copic Spica glitter pen. I used red ink to stamp the “happy hour” sentiment alongside the image and added a trio of sparkly red mini rhinestones to accent it.

The circles were cut using my extremely high-tech circle cutting system (old plastic lids from food containers, traced and then cut on the line). The red behind the patterned paper really makes the paper’s pattern pop. I layered the circles on an Aqua Mist card base after wrapping a slightly deeper Ocean Tides dotted ribbon around the cardfront. I placed the image over the circle panel using dimensionals.

Here's a look at the rest of the images in this fun set. I'll have more Clear & Simple Stamps samples to share with you soon.
