Today starts the new stamp release at CDS, and I have 3 stamp sets that I created with to hopefully give some inspiration.
Christmas Inchy stamps
I made this hanging ornament that can double as a bracelet. I used polyshrink, the cuttlebug set of 4 mini square scallop dies, beads and some heavy duty but lightweight beading string. I stamped on polyshrink, punched holes in 2 of the corners, colored with regular markers and then shrunk them with the heat gun. Then assembled together with the beading string and put seed beads in between each section. I coated each square with crystal effects on the top, and some clear stickles on the back. I did one side and then waited a couple hours and then did the other sides.
CS/PAPER: clear polyshrink
INK: Brilliance black, markers pool party, island indigo, lucky limeade, wisteria wonder, peach parfait
ACCENTS/TOOLS: Cuttlebug provocraft mini scallop square die, 1/8" hole punch, jewelry thread, seed beads, lobster clasps, jump rings, heat tool, stickles, sakura clear effects

Little BethlehemI knew I wanted to make a "night" card with all dark blues with this, when I first saw it. I like that it is a nice big image, so that it can fill almost the whole card. I watercolored with Tombows and a waterbrush on watercolor paper.
