Clear Dollar Stamps Sunday Blog Hop!



It's the 3rd Sunday of the month. . .(where are the months going?!)!  That makes it time for the Clear Dollar Stamps Sunday Blog Hop!  You should have come from the uber talented Trudy's blog, but if not why not start at Lori's blog so you don't miss a thing.

This month we were challenged to use the newest colors to the CDS family of the Coordinating Collection.
Don't those colors look devine?!  I pulled out my Blooming Bouquet Die from CDS and made my own bloom with it.  I love the colors all together, and I love how my card turned out.  It also uses a July release single stamp:  Memories.
I'm also quite in LOVE with the new Viva Pearl Pens that were just released in the CDS store as well.  They are AMAZING!  I bought a couple of colors just to try them out, and as soon as I did I had to buy more.  They are flawless to use and simply beautiful!

Stamps:  Memories
Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black
Paper:  CDS Cottonball White, CDS Berry Blast, CDS Orange Whip, CDS Kiwi Delight
Accessories:  CDS Blooming Bouquet Die, circle punch, glossy glaze, CDS Kiwi Delight ribbon, Magenta Viva Pearl Pens, Ornamental Iron embossing folder

the die used:
