Belle Papier {pretty paper}

I had a lot of fun dusting off my pencil crayons for today’s Ways to Use it Challenge last night. I know I’m NOT going to let them get so dusty again! If you missed the first card I designed for this challenge…just scroll down to the previous post… it is a totally different style from this one. I love mixing things up a little. I had actually meant to post them both together here on my blog but the morning got away on me and I had to run out for errands. And so, here I am, back with my other card design.

This new set features the brand-new soon to be released Lizzie Anne Designs High Hellos stamp set. This set is to be released September 10th. It is so cute! You can get a sneak peek of all their new releases right on their web-site. While you are there, make sure you take a look around. Jacksonbelle has designed a project of the month and the Lizzie Anne Newsletters are getting revved up with lots of cool stuff and are now going out monthly. Make sure you sign up!

Thinking Highly of You

I just had to pair up this darling flocked/metallic Heidi Grace paper with the ice cream cones from the High Hellos set. The circles and colors reminded me of Baskin Robbins…yummmmmmm. My most favorite ice cream EVER is the Chocolate Mousse Royale. Oh my…I think I need a chocolate fix! I think it is the exact color of Close to Cocoa and sooooooooooooooooo creamy! Anyways…I digress! LOL

The lovely fine lines of this stamp are so easy to color with pencil crayons. After coloring the design, I gave the ice cream a slick look with my clear Sakura Gelly Roll Glaze pen. i decided the sentiment needed a little highlighting too so I colored over it in a sketchy style.

I also found the cutest button in my lovely package of Autumn Leaves buttons. This one matched up the color perfectly and I loved the texture. I tied it with my May Arts ribbon and then used another piece of May Arts to accent the corner of the image. This paper just screams for a little bling with it and so, I pulled out my Making Memories gemstones and added a tiny rhinestone to the corner to finish it off.
