Happy New Year Everyone! I have a wonderful color challenge to show you today along with a brand new stamp set. Here is the color challenge from Create with Connie & Mary:
And here is my card using the “Sheltering Tree” stamp set:
You are going to fall in love with this stamp set. I love it! As demonstrators we were able to purchase this in our pre-order which took place early in December and it will be available to everyone on January 6th. I really like how you stamp the trunk of the tree first and then add the leaves in whatever color your heart desires. I even added a swing, the sentiment and some grasses:
I also used some Candy Dots and colored them with my Blendabilities Markers. If you are out of a certain color of Candy Dots or don’t have enough of one color on hand, use the light-colored ones and make them the color you want with the markers!
I added the sentiment at the bottom, somewhat into the grass and I really like how it looks. Visit my teammates at Create with Connie & Mary as I’m sure you’ll see some more sneak peeks of new products coming near you soon!

I love the direction you went with your card. I'm imagining it to be an apple tree with those 3 red candy dots strategically placed. Plus the swing. I love that swing!
Happy New Year! I hope it is a wonderful one.
Makes me think of spring…which I wish was closer to being here…it's been so cold! Great card! The candy dots do look like apples!
Simply gorgeous! I love this stamp set, the tree is just so pretty!! I love the swing you added, the card has so much life!
What a pretty card! Love how you used this stamp set! Can't wait to get mine and play!
I love your card! So fresh and colorful; the candy dots are a great touch!! I have GOT to get mine out and put ink on it … I love this set!
LOVE this set and your pretty card! The candy dots are inspired! Great job with the color challenge!
Love the idea of coloring the candy dots – another fabulous trick to showcase the possibilities of the Blendabilities!
Love this set – can't believe I haven't had the opportunity to ink mine up yet. Your card looks lovely in this colour combo. Great tip on colouring candy dots too; I colour all kinds of things with my Blendabilities but never thought to do this; it would seriously help my shortage of red ones, so thank you!!!
