Hello and welcome back to the final day of our October 2017 Release! We are so excited to debut 11 new stamps and 10 coordinating dies for this release. If you’re joining us for the first time today, please note that we are doing things a bit differently for this release. Our team has not made any cards for our Release Weekend as their stamps are on their way to them as we speak. However, you will see their gorgeous creations at the end of the month where we will have a fun blog hop with prizes! For today, I have made several cards showcasing our Day 3 sets. We also have a giveaway so make sure to scroll down to see all the details.

Before you go off to shop, please enjoy the cards that I made for today.
Photo taken against our White Marble Backdrop Board, 12×12 inch
For my first card, I white heat embossed our new Thankful Chrysanthemum set. Then I added vibrant watercolors to color the image (Fuchsia, Lime Green and Gamboge Color Bursts). After I finished painting, I die cut my panel using the largest die from our Double Stitched Rectangle dies (small) set. Then I made my own glitter cardstock using our Red Glitter Adhesive paperRed Glitter Adhesive paper. Next I mounted my painted panel onto my glitter base. Lastly, I added Clear Dew Drops to embellish my card.

For my next card, I used our Celebration Rose Cluster and Daffodil Greetings sets.
I started off by rose gold heat embossing our Celebration Rose Cluster in the corner of my A2 sized watercolor panel (Canson XL 140lb watercolor paper). Then I masked the rose cluster and partially heat embossed our Daffodil Greetings next to my rose cluster. This is a great way to stretch your floral cluster stamps – add additional florals to create a different/larger floral cluster!
After I heat embossed my customized cluster, I painted them with color bursts. Instead of blending out my first layer of color, I applied a very concentrated amount of paint and added shading to the petals using a second hue. For my roses, I used Alizarin Crimson and Merlot color bursts. For my daffodils, I used Gamboge and Tangerine. For my leaves, I used Lime Green and Terre Vert. For my background, I used Turquoise bursts. After I finished painting, I added stitching to the edges of the panel using our Double Stitched Rectangle Dies (large) set. Next I popped up my white embossed sentiment banner and embellished my card with clear rhinestones.

For my last project, I merely stamped Rose Close Up and did some no line coloring.
To color, I started off with a first layer of a light copic marker. Then I added more color and depth using 4 color pencils (Faber Castell Polychromos). After I finished coloring this piece, I didn’t have the heart to cut it up to turn it into a finished card (it took me more than an hour to just color this piece). I will likely frame this later on. However, I still wanted to showcase this piece for today.
I apologize for the lack of cards today! I am hoping that quality of my work compensates for the quantity (or lack thereof) for today.

Yet another array of gorgeous happening today! I’m especially taken with the Thankful Chrysanthemum; they remind me of my grandmother, who had the greenest thumb imaginable when it came to flower and vegetable gardens. Her Chrysanthemums were incredible; people walking past her yard would stop and gaze in breath-taken-away wonder. Thank you for sparking wonderful memories!

I love the roses stamps, especially the close uprise. In fact, I love all your close up stamps except that they are cling rubber. Due to space issues, I’ve stopped buying rubber stamps. 😔 Do you think you will offer the close up series of stamps in clear?
