Today I am taking part in the Jane’s Doodles release blog hop. Three new sets have been released into the store.

Anemone

Under the Sea

Winnie Halloween

First up I have made a card using the Anemone stamp set. I am really into adding texture with embossing paste at the moment. It creates subtle interest in background for a focal point. I coloured the white embossing paste with Antique Linen Distress ink. The Anemone is coloured with Copics and a Prismacolor pencil.

Next up is a cute whale from the Under the Sea set (which is out of stock, but it can be pre-ordered). To create the background, I blended in some Salty Ocean distress ink and then created the splatters with some water and had a paper towel on hand to mop up the moisture – removing some of the colour.

Speaking of whales, there are a lot of them migrating north at the moment along the east coast of Australia. The kids and I went looking for them this afternoon and I did manage to catch a glimpse of one. Amazing creatures.

Hello! Welcome to  Jane’s Doodles spotlight blog hop, where we are showcasing the following two stamp sets.

Smile

DoNUTS

First up I have made two cards using the Smile stamp set. These cards each have an action wobbler and when this is combined with google eyes, well, you get a whole lot of FUN!

Next up I have created a card with a watercolour panel made with several Distress ink colours. I love getting all inky with the water splatters. This card features the new DoNUTS stamp set.

GIVEAWAY:
Jane is giving away both stamp sets to one lucky person. Leave a comment an all the stops along the hop and you could be a winner. Jane is also having an Easter sale that starts April 3rd, where all clear stamps are discounted by 30% (only over the Easter weekend). So what are you waiting for?

Hello! Welcome to the Jane’s Doodles spotlight blog hop, where we are showcasing the ADORABLE Seamus stamp set. Isn’t he just the sweetest?

I had a LOT of fun creating with this little guy – so much personality. I think it is my favourite JD stamp set to date!

First up I have Seamus juggling some shiny hearts. I curved the sentiment on this one.

My second card was cased from this card by Christine. I loved her card design and thought Seamus could get a very similar treatment.

Now if you would like to win a copy of the Seamus stamp set, leave a comment at all the stops and you will go into a random draw to win your own copy. The winner will be announced on Monday. Also Jane has Seamus on sale in the shop – 15% off for the spotlight blog hop.
