Clearsnap Limited Edition Inks

Just dropping in the evening quickly to share a couple cards created for the Clearsnap blog with the new Colorbox Limited Edition inks. The top card uses the newly released Chalk colors - Fawn, Mint, Butter, Chambray, Plumeria and Black Cherry - see more details on this post.

And the second card I kind of really love! It uses the new pigment ink colors - Pool, Iris, Turtle, Cupid, Pepper and Abyss - along with a favorite stamp set from Lawn Fawn. See the full post here.

Have a wonderful weekend!

I worked with the Happy Holidays Snowman stamp from the Hero Arts holiday release. Isn't he cute - just love the banner! To give the image a sort of rustic look, I stamped onto patterned paper, colored with Sharpies and then embossed several times with thick embossing powder. Bend the paper to get the cracks and then highlight them with some distressing inks.

Had to add some glitter too - this is some of the new Sparkles! chunky glitter by Stephanie Barnard for Colorbox.

And of course it wouldn't be a hop without a giveaway, right?
