This month the Clearly Besotted release was slightly delayed due to pesky postal delays, but that just means we get to indulge in a little bit of CBS goodness for  longer :D

So today we are all up for a challenge and what a stunning inspiration Stephanie chose:

Isn’t that just stunning! Soft muted colours and beautiful flowers *sigh*. I was not only inspired by these but the colour blocking down the side. I reached for the new Diagonal Stripes set and coloured direct to the stamp with some Distress Markers, spritzed with water and stamped onto my favourite Tim Holtz watercolour card. I love the variation in colour and how some of the stripes bled into one another – so cool :) To go with this stripy background I white heat embossed and water coloured the gerbora from the With Love, die cut a little tag from Tag Along and stamped the ‘you’ and ‘me’ from Say It in Style. To finish I added a gold heat embossed and die cut ampersand from the new Monogrammed set along with a sprinkling of bling to go with it.
