Happy News and Blog Candy!

I am so excited to tell you that I have been selected as one of the original design team members for Dolce Stamps and Cards!   You'll want to read through this entire post to find out how you can win some fabulous blog candy!

When I received my first Dolce product kit, I squealed with delight when I saw this darling Girlfriend Art Impressions image.  This particular image is called Under My Umbrella and you can find it here at the Dolce Stamps and Cards web store.  You can also click here at the Design Team Gallery (or the same link on the home page of Dolce Stamps and Cards) to see all the creations of the entire design team!  Just click on each image and it will give you detailed information on how each designer created her card.

I colored the Girlfriends with Copic markers, adding the polkadotted pattern to the purple coat on the far right with the tip of my Copic marker.   I also paper pieced the umbrella with some of the Cosmo Cricket Salt Air designer paper.  The background designer paper is from this same packet of Cricket Salt Air.  The Petaloo Color Me Crazy Flowers come in white so you can color them to coordinate with your color theme.  How cool is that?!?!?  I colored mine with Copic markers.  The sentiment is also by Art Impressions.

Here is a list of all the supplies I used in my design today.    Note:  the stamps, the Memento Black ink, and all the cardstock and designer papers I used are available at the Dolce Stamps and Cards store.  I love one-stop shopping!
