Countdown to Confetti Day 1
Sending Smiles, Springtime Sentiments

It's a great day for a visit! Today is the first day in the Countdown to Confetti - the March Reverse Confetti release.
    
There's lots to see with SIX new stamp sets and TEN Confetti Cut dies! Today we're sharing peeks at Sending Smiles and Springtime Sentiments.
Sending Smiles is a three layer stamped floral and leaf set. The flowers are so pretty in just about every color you can imagine.. and I stamped ALOT! I love the finishing layer of little dots on the leaves that remind me of lilies.
I arranged the florals over the new Big Egg die cut. The egg is a nice size - perfect for an A2 size card and would make a great shaker. I filled in the stripes with cardstock match the florals and then popped it up with adhesive foam tape.

Do you love that dotted background? It was stamped with the new Dot to Dot stamp set which is a FREEBIE with purchase this release. I inked it with Distress Oxide because pigment ink gives good coverage on solid images. The stamp isn't big enough to go across the entire card. You can't see it, but underneath the egg is unfinished. I stamped from the right and from the left edge - having the dots meet in the center. I knew it would be covered by the egg so I didn't line everything up precisely.
That big sentiment running through the middle of the card is from the Springtime Sentiments stamp set. The egg-stra special sentiment goes great with the Big Egg.
My second card features the new Layered Mom & Frame Confetti Cut. The opening seemed like the perfect place to add a layer - so I inserted a Scallop Stripe Panel Inside.
Aren't the Sending Smiles florals pretty in shades of orange? I stamped the leaves in different shades of green so I could mix and match them to add some depth to the design.

In case you're wondering.. yes the little dot in the center of the flower is a separate stamp and die. Again it's three layers of stamping just like the flower and leaves. Just make sure that your solid die is lighter than the accent (outline and dots) images.

I love the stitching on that big frame, and it's large enough to hold it's own as a shaped card. I think some home decor projects might be great too with these frames holding some photos.
Ready to see more designs made with the new release? Here's a list of designers with projects to share today!


Thanks for stopping by! I hope you'll come by tomorrow when we'll be sharing peeks at a new set called Friendly Florals. Have a great weekend!
