Wilson Designs: Release Day!

Today is the day!  Here we are for another Release Day edition for Wilson Designs!  I can't wait for you to see the full set.  Kim has packed this set full of sweet little images that are perfect for spring, wedding, or just because!  I am totally smitten with the wee little frames she included this month (as well as all the new sentiments).  So without further ado...........Let's introduce: 

Spring Silhouettes

Today my card has a more Spring focus.....as I am more than ready for some SPRING!   Bring it on! 

I decided to use one of the fun new frames to make my own background paper for my card and I filled it in with the little flower stamp that is included with this set.  I did add my own little black 'dot' to the centers.



I think what I like most about this card is the flower I created!  Here's what I did.  First I punched a circle of whatever size you want your flower to be.  Then cover it with a strong adhesive (I used Scor-Tape).  Start at the center of your circle and press down ribbon and start twisting and pressing down.  Do this for the entire circle.  I used some MS seam binding in red and it was so easy to do.  Simply add a touch of a pearl for the center and you have a twisted ribbon flower!  My leaves were diecut and then stamped with the dot stamp from Everything's Owlright.  I'm sending this card over to the Hand Stamped Sentiments blog for their challenge to use Ribbons or Lace this week.....go check them out!

I'd love to hear what you think!  Please remember to stop by all the DT blogs for more inspiration using this set and for your chance to win Spring Silhouettes!  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Wilson Designs: Release Day 1

Today's post is showcasing some ideas for the newest stamp set from Wilson Designs.  It's kind of an additions set to last month's popular Simply Silhouettes.  This month Kim added more silhouette images for you as well as some awesome sentiments!!! 

Today the DT is focusing on Wedding cards using this set.  My first card uses the couple silhouette and I thought it would be perfect inside the larger frame from Simply Silhouettes from last month. 

Do you see that gorgeous font on that mini tag?  I just love how elegant it is!  My tag was cut free hand and some mini hearts were stamped from the Ride Away With Me stamp set.  I didn't have gems in an aqua color so I used my Copics to match them up!  I'm going to send this over to the Moxie Fab World for the challenge that is still open:  The Appearance of Cameos Challenge in the Moxie Fab World.

My next card uses one of my FAVORITE mediums to stamp with.  WATERCOLOR CRAYONS.  Yet, I don't pull them out very often but they sure are fun to use.  Here I've colored on my rose silhouette stamp with a rose and green crayon, spritzed with water, and stamped!  I LOVE LOVE this technique!  No 2 flowers are the same and I love the watercolor effect!

Again I have to point out the sentiment......Meant to Be.  I just love this sentiment!!  I have to give the layout of sorts a shout out to my blogging friend, Silke Ledlow.  She is a master of white on white, with pearls, scoring, and lately she's been using this border punch a lot!  So you guessed it....I had to dig mine out and use it on this Silke inspired card!  Please make sure to stop by her blog.....you won't be disappointed! 

Well that's it from me today......be sure to check out the rest of the Wilson Designs DT posts and make sure to leave a comment along the way to be entered in for a chance to win this stamp set!  Come back tomorrow for the full stamp set reveal!!
