Clear & Simple Stamps - September 2010 Release

Hello!  Today I'm sharing the Clear & Simple Stamps' September SOTM.  This month's set is called Topiaries.  I've always loved topiaries and now I can stamp them on my cards.  You can even mix and match the trees and pots.  So fun!  I especially love the sentiments in this set.  I am a font fanatic and I love sentiments that mix fun fonts with plain type.  

Here's what the September SOTM set "Topiaries" looks like:

And here is just one of the cards I've made using this set:

I stamped the fruitful topiary and pot onto Kraft Like a Rockstar card stock using Perfect Little Black Dress ink.  That ink is perfect to use with watercolor pencils since the ink will not bleed or smear.  Then I colored the image with watercolor pencils and went over the image with an aqua-painter.  See that yummy brown with the distressed edges?  That's the new color this month.  It's called Espresso Your Style and it is such a rich color.  I punched two holes on my image panel and threaded my ribbon behind the panel and around the card.  I think this really draws your eye to the focal point.

The new color, Espresso Your Style is available today in card stock, ribbon, ink, re-inkers, and buttons as well as the Copic Trio Bundle (see below).

Thanks so much for sharing in the excitement today!!!  I know you'll love this month's SOTM set.  I'm looking forward to sharing more cards with you using this set.
