For my card today I used the simply stunning new stamp, Angelica the Bride. I think that this image is beyond gorgeous and really has so many intricate details, I didn't know where to start with this card. I ended up creating this card for a Wedding I will be attending in June. The colors for the Wedding are Pink and Blue so I used that as my stepping off point for this card. I used these lovely flowers that are all available in the Inky Impressions Store, they really compliment this image so nicely. I outlined the entire image in a light pink after I finished coloring and it seems to give the image a soft pink hue that works well. I also used some frost smooch which is a bit hard to see, but the entire dress, train and veil all have small glitter on them.

Sassy Studio Designs Release Preview!

Today marks the last day in the Sassy Studio Designs May Release Previews! That's right tomorrow (Saturday!!!) Sassy Studio Designs will be releasing brand new images and this Sassy image will be a part of the release!

This Sassy stunner is called Chelsea's Graduation and I had SO much fun work with her.

Bugaboo Stamps - Tutorial - Glubers How To!

Today is Wednesday at Bugaboo Stamps, which means that one DT member is sharing a tutorial today! Guess what....that DT member is me today! That's right today I am sharing with you a Tutorial on How to Use Glubers! I know, what now? If you haven't seen them before Glubers are these awesome GIANT Glue Dots that are super sticky and a great way to make fun embellishments. So, let me take you through step by step on how to use them! The package comes with directions, but sometimes it is easier to see someone lay it all out for you step by step.

You Will Need:1 Gluber any size (I used the smallest one I have - 2")
Ribbon (at least a yard, just in case)
Scissors
A Center Embellishment, I used a Yellow Button

Step #1:
Cut and Remove your Gluber from the package.

Step #2:Peel away the thinner top layer of acetate, you can easily tell which is the base and which is just a top protective layer. Fold the end of your ribbon under slightly and attach it to your Gluber, remember this stuff is very sticky so be careful.
Step #3:
Begin folding and pressing the ribbon onto the adhesive. I push down, fold over, and then push down again. Continue until you complete an entire ring around the adhesive. Then make a cut in the ribbon and try to blend it in or line it up nicely.
Step #4:
Begin the second row, starting the same way the you did with the first row. Bend the ribbon edge under the top and stick it down continuing in the same manner as before push down, fold, push down again. Until you complete another ring.
Step #5:
At this point you can add something to the center, or you can create a smaller third row. There is less adhesive at this stage and it gets to be a bit tight, but I think the third row really fills in the flower.

Step #6:
Your Ribbon work is complete! Now, add a central embellishment. In my case I used a yellow button that I added a little bow out of twine to.
Step #7:
Peel away the backing and add to any card or creation! For my completed project today I used this adorable image Kid Pocket Topper - Girl with Ponytails, isn't she just too cute! I just love how these Glubers can be a great base for such a fun embellishment too!I hope that you enjoyed my tutorial today, thank you for stopping by!

This card was entered into the following challenge(s): Stamps: Kid Pocket Topper - Girl with Pigtails from Bugaboo Stamps; Paper: Whisper White, Rose Red, Rose Pink, Bo Bunny Ambrosia DP; Ink: E00 Skin White, E15 Dark Suntan, RV66 Raspberry; Accessories: Gluber, Glue Dot, PTI Button, Yellow Twine, Vintage Seam Binding

I also tried to pull some of the colors for the inspirational photo.

PMS is still liquidating their rubber inventory, in fact all of our rubber stamps are at 75% off. No more rubber stamps will be ordered so once they are gone they are gone! Get your hands on these images in rubber while you still can!

For today I used the image, "A Weed is no more...", I just love how pretty this sentiment is and I paired it with this fun floral image from PMS. I used some fun floral image with lots of fun pink and green.

Thank you so stopping by today, and be sure to hop on over to Eret's Blog! Enjoy your day!
