My Favorite Things Teaser - Day Two

Last month, the Triple Scoop was this new sentiment set: Clearly Sentimental About Emerson. I love sentiment sets--just love them!! Especially if they have sentiments that can stand as a focal image like this one does. If you didn't get it as a Triple Scoop special, you now have the chance--it's being released on February 3, along with 13 other sets--including 3 Pure Innocents and 3 from a brand new illustrator that you're gonna LOVE!!

I stamped my image on a Cream Perfect Paper Panel even thought I wasn't going to color with Copics. This paper is very stout and I wanted the focal element to have lots of body. Then I distressed it with a distressing tool and stitched it onto some Basic Gray card stock. Otherwise, it's a pretty simple card, but I did try some of that random stitching that I've been admiring out there in blog land. And I like it!

Did you know that the guest stamper's challenge has been posted? Yep, you can check it out over at the Member Company Forum on SCS. We'd love for you to play along--the prize is HUGE!

You can see more sample of this set, along with two other new releases today. Just check over at Kim's blog after 11:00am and she'll have a list of the DT members that are previewing these sets.

Thanks for stopping by today! You'll definitely want to check back tomorrow--we have some PURE sweetness to show you :)
