At Home Collection

*****If you're here for Kitchen Sink Monday, please scroll down to the next post after you check out this one.*****

Today is the release day for the At Home Collection from Clear & Simple Stamps. I’ve shared previews of two of the sets in the collection already (Freedom and Real Estate Darling). I have a sample to share today using one more set from this release.

But, before I get to the new stamp set, I want to give a warm welcome to the new design team members we're introducing today. We are thrilled to have these talented ladies joining our team!

Now, here's my card, made with the new Live Life set. This set has a beautiful silhouette image and a variety of sentiments to mix and match. I went bold and bright on this card, using Raspberry Fizz paper with black accents. I used what’s called the chalkboard technique for the focal image. The image is stamped in white pigment ink, then covered with shimmery chalks. The chalks cling to the pigment ink. It looks so nice against the black background!

I layered some matching polka dotted raspberry paper, matted with black, on a raspberry card base. I stamped the sentiment in black ink directly on the patterned paper, then wrapped a piece of raspberry ribbon around the card. I layered the stamped image on the card at an angle and added a trio of shiny Dew Drops as an embellishment.

The rest of the Clear & Simple Stamps DT has samples from other new sets. Here’s where you can find them.
