Here’s one of the freebies from the Sale-a-bration sets and it’s really fun. It’s the one most requested in my December give-away. So, now that we’re past Christmas cards and tags, I felt it was time to pull out the new sets. But I also want to pay more attention to the product in the annual catalog since there are some awesome things there, so don’t run away expecting that I’m only going to show product that you can’t order yet!

This chick from the Hey, Chick set is so adorable, I suspect that you’re going to set the image all over the place. I stamped using the archival basic black which holds up pretty well for this and then coloured it using the new watercolour pencils (love them!) in daffodil delight and pumpkin pie using a blender pen to move the colour to hide pencil strokes and to blend the colours together. It’s really fun. I love that I don’t have to use stazon and then the different cleaner. However, I have noticed that when you use your stamp-a-ma-jig and the archival ink, it’s best to clean fairly promptly or you need the stazon cleaner to get the ink off the plastic sheet. I was going to cut this image to a smaller square and mat in various colours, but I liked the simple look here. I like to start with the basics when using a new stamp set.

Don’t forget the great close out sale currently going on and also the offer from me – a new, free stamp set. Just spend $40 with me and use the workshop code CBUJ4GTP, and you get to select one of Hey, Chick, Delicate Details or Designer Tee which I’ll send you for free once I close out this workshop on January 3rd. Check here for the details and also pictures of these stamp sets. If you spend $60, I’ll send you the pearl or rhinestone basic jewels as well. Email me at lizbaileycards@gmail.com to let me know which of the sets you’d like and whether you’d like pearls or rhinestones (if you’ve earned them), or I’ll just select one at random.

I hope you enjoyed today’s project. Please use the hostess code to get free product; the current one is CBUJ4GTP (if your order is over $150, don’t use the code, you get the rewards, but you still get the free gift from me).
