Day three could be my favorite of all the Sneaks … this newest MONDO beauty? SO gorgeous!
meet Mondo Chrysanthemum:
My first stamping was white heat embossed on Ranger water color paper, and painted with Distress inks - black soot, pumice stone, and fossilized amber to be exact. Now. granted it would be beautiful all on its own, but that little detailing with a Pinkfresh Studio die, with a panel of Slate Gray card stock behind it, didn't hurt, did it?
If you don't find water coloring to be your thing, maybe this one [simply stamped in black on white] might? Just adding a pop of color with an enamel dot or three - or a panel-on-panel sentiment label [another from Pink Fresh Studios] might just make your CAS style heart happy.
Have you spotted what else is new? I just love the font in Julie's newest Totally Random Says Vol. 3 sentiment set. It includes all the basics we use all the time, and more - and stands on its own so beautifully, too!

ReplyDeleteAll I know is that I'm going to be so broke. Haven't seen a dud in anyone of the sneaks thus far. That chrysanthemum is magnificent and so versatile and who doesn't love sentiments...
