Woohoo!
Finally the day has arrived and the 7th Birthday February 2019 Reveal, Blog Hop & GIVEAWAY is here! You can get your hands on the new release HERE at a NEW time of 9pm GMT tonight.
Ok, so how about a closer look at the 6 new clear stamp set designs, 2 coordinating designer die collections as well as 1 Stencil Design being released later today.
There's lots to see so grab a cuppa and settle down.
Here's my first card using Birthday Wishes and You Are, Yes You.
The panel was stamped along with the blue panel from this card. This time I used a semi dull EP and it didn't show up as much as the gloss, so I had to ink the pink card with some Seedless Preserve DI to make it stand out, but I quite like the softer look. The bloom was stamped twice, coloured and then one cut and each half slipped behind to create a fuller bloom. No need for an extra sentiment as there are plenty in the background!
This card uses mainly these fab sets.

My second card uses the sentiments from the You Are, Yes You set and the Graffiti Background Block stamp.
I used the sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch for my layout, stamping some pink card with Memento Love Letter ink then added some semi dull EP and heat embossed. The hearts were die cut from a panel of the pink card inked again with Love Letter and the embossing powder. I decided to add some Glossy Accents to the hearts and popped them up on pads. My sentiment is stamped with the same Love Letter ink.

My third card again uses the sweet bloom stamp from You Are, Yes You as well as the fab Pinstripe Background Block stamp.
This time my inspiration were the colours from Color Throwdown.
I repeat stamped the pinstripes using my Zig brushes to ink it up to create the pattern. On a separate panel of white, I stamped a row of blooms and then cut it down with a scalloped edge die from MFT.
I used my Copics to colour and added a sentiment from the Birthday Sentiment Blocks set, white EP over red.

My final card combines the Abstract Triangle stencil with the Passiflora stamps and dies.
Over at CAS stencil the theme is Ink powders and stencils, so I thought I would get my Brushos out and have a play with the new stencil. I'd seen this photo on Google whilst looking for colouring inspiration and thought the stencil could work as trellis.
I taped down my panel of Mixed Media paper to my board and placed the stencil on top. Carefully adding my Brusho, Turquoise and Prussian Blue and Sea Green, I think! The blue suggests sky, a tad brighter than the brick wall in the pic, the green and purple echo the blooms of the passion flower. I then spritzed the stencil with water and whipped it away quickly before the liquid oozed underneath!
Once dry I trimmed it down to size and glued it behind a die cut frame from my stash.
The passion flower was stamped using Momento inks and die cut, then arranged in the top right.
I originally put the finished panel on a white base card but for some reason the frame looked a different colour so I decided to use a coloured card and plumped for this purple which I think works better, picking up the purple of the blooms and inked panel. My sentiment from Birthday Sentiments is stamped in matching purple Memento.
