Retro Sketches #10

Scroll down for the Clear and Simple Release post! Lots of fun stuff to see today!!

I am pretty excited about today's Retro Sketch! Arielle picked this one from my blog! The original is one of my Colour Q cards. You can see it HERE!

Here is the remake...

I used a piece of patterned paper for the card front and then added some white and yellow. I used a Paper Smooches sentiment on the original so I figured I would use another one today! That sentiment set is darling! I also added a little Mehndi Medallion impression plate to the focal point.

Here is today's sketch...

I hope you can play along this week! Stop over and link up your card! I know Jackie, Kasia and Arielle have some eye candy to see too! Thanks for coming by!

Clear and Simple Release Day

I am so excited to be able to finally share the whole release with you! I have several cards to show you and also a link to the whole collection! Let's get started!

Here is my first card...

This card uses the new edger die, the new Imprint plate, All Occasions 2 and Flowers. The new imprint plate is amazing! It gives such a clean and crisp look! And the flowers are too cute!

Here is the next card...

This card uses the Imprint plate, Labels 11, Butterflies 1 and Butterflies 2 and a sentiment from All Occasions 2. I love the labels from Clear and Simple. All of the shapes have a matching outline stamp to go with them. I love the look it gives!

My next card is full of serious hexagons...(I hope you can see them...the darker picture showed them a little better!)

This new background set, Hexagons Plus, is fantastic! It has 7 different hexagon backgrounds, plus lots of little extras! SO SO fun!!

And my last card for today showcases the new Shapes: Hexagon dies. Ummmm....LOVE!

I just added a few with different papers and a sentiment. Simple and sweet! This die set is a must have for your crafting stash!!

Here is a list of the DT girls who have lots of other goodies to share!

This team has been so fun to be apart of and I can't believe its been a full year already! We are saying hello to a bunch of new and talented girls today too! So its definitely a day for celebrating!

Here is my card for today's challenge...

I stamped a little Grunge Me in Fresh Snow ink on the black cardstock and then added a layer of red behind the focal point. I think it turned out kinda fun! It's a good guy card!
