Sooo, without further ado....here's my first card for Release Week!
Today we are introducing two new Adorable Abodes - Royal Digs and Spring Cottage along with NEW DIES! I'm using the Spring Cottage Stamp Set from Apple Doodle Ink! This is Doug's Adorable Abodes #3 - a sweet little cottage with a wishing well and bunnies celebrates Springtime and the new beginnings of a new home! This would be perfect for March or April for calendars if you're doing a calendar project with us.
I used my Copic Markers for the cottage and then paper pieced the roof out of some great wood-grain paper! There really is no place like home! I used some brown/white twine and a matching button. I kept this card towards the masculine side. Love this color palette - all inspired by the pretty patterned paper collection from My Mind's Eye.
The paper is the "Away We Go" Collection 6x6 paper pack from My Mind's Eye. LOVE. Also, I pulled out an old favorite from TE - The Medium Scallop Die - to make my border. As you know, I use this one all the time!
Always remember that TE stamps are high quality red RUBBER mounted on foam. All you do is stick them on your favorite blocks and you're good to go. All the sets come on a full color panel and store perfectly in our Mini Binder Boxes (4 sets to a box). Full size set panels are 5.75" x 8.5" and jam packed with images for $21.95. Mini set panels are 4.75" square (CD size) for $12.95. Petite panels are 3" x 5" for $7.95. (6 Petite sets fit into a Petite Storage case) Have fun looking at all the other projects from the rest of the Design Team! XO
