Bicycle Love

Hey!

Although I've been playing catch up here on the blog, nothing has stopped for the Clearly Besotted Stamps sneaky peeks of the new March release (available for purchase Wednesday 5th March at 22:00 GMT).

I'm waaaaaaaay behind on getting projects whipped up for the sneak peeks. I'm so lucky that Stephanie is been so understanding and is letting me play catch up! Apologies for the poor pics - I'm desperately trying to shoot in daylight but time is always against me at the moment. Bring on those summer nights LOL!

So today's card gives you a sneaky peek at two new sets. I know it's pretty tough to pick a favourite, but I'm going to go ahead and declare that the set Good Times is simply awesome. I love that bicycle! The sentiment is from the set Take Flight. I just love the font of it and figured that it paired nicely with this fun CAS design. :)

• To line the bicycle up on the card-base and patterned paper, I stamped it first on the card base and then on a piece of patterend paper which I then die cut. Simply layer the patterend piece on top of the bicycle stamped on the card and line them up.
• I used a simple masking technique to control the amount of hearts coming from the front basket of the bicycle. The heart stamp is actually much bigger than this and contains lots of sweet hearts. For less hearts, and more direction simply attach a Post-It note to the top of the basket and stamp over it.
• The red hearts combined with the red strips give three pops of red and help balance the design.

Right, I'm off to stamp and play catch up with the amazing CBS DT and guesties! In the meantime, please do pop across to Stephanie's to check out some more tempting sneak peeks from this month's release including links to the rest of the DT sharing fabulous projects. You won't leave disappointed! :)
