SCRS Preview & Release Day: Tea Set Rin

Hi everyone and welcome to Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps January RELEASE DAY!

Today we are showcasing the fabulous Tea Set Rin - I so {heart} this stamp! All new release stamps are available to buy from the Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps Store RIGHT NOW, yay!


Ingredients
Bitter Chocolate Bazzill cardstock
Chocolate Brown Seam Binding (currently 25% off from Sew Sweet)
4mm black gems

Unfortunately I'm not veyr pleased with my card. :( I ADORE the stamp and I'm happy with my colouring and paper choices, but after that it went a bit "blah".  I won't tell you how long I sat fiddling around with layouts when I was working on this card! I think my mojo was on holiday, lol! In the end I resorted to an old layout I used a while ago (I think it was one of Jen's 2011 SFYTT) ... and once I'd stuck everything down I started having ideas like "I could have used my new wonky rectangles nesties" - doh!!  I may try adding some "Lori Boyd" style multi-coloured dots around her to take your eye away from the expanse of white. Anyhoo, the rest of the DT have done a superb job with their cards, so do hop on over to their blogs to take a peek!

Sparkle will be giving away Tea Set Rin to one lucky person! For a chance to WIN, you need to visit and comment on all of the designer's Tea Set Rin blog posts (links listed below), then head on over to the SCRS blog and comment on the Tea Set Rin post there. You have until midnight EST tonight to comment.


Thanks for dropping by! I promise I'll do better for my SCRS challenge card on Tuesday!

Hugs,
