Good morning. I've a few more samples from the new SWALK release that is here today.
It's a pic n' mix of images from the new CDs and stamps and my first is from the digi stamp CD 'Belle of the Ball'
The images come in two sizes but as they are also available in jpeg format you can resize them to any size you need for your project. I'm not too hot at all that manipulating so I chose the smaller of the images provided for my 6 x 6" card. I printed onto Neenah Crest card stock which I think is the perfect card for alcohol ink colouring.
I cut the card base and then cut two Die'Sire lace borders 3 for the frill at the bottom of the card. I embossed the lattice pattern (Beatrix Potter folder) and laid it over the top edge of the frill to form the front of the card. I tied knots along the length of the ribbon and adhered that to the join where the frills and embossing met.
The image is matted onto paper from the accompanying SWALK Pawfect Pals CD and I've glittered the tiara and the dots with Diamond dust for bling and texture.
The sentiment part of the image was cut with a Spellbinder's banner die and I then added organza ribbon, gems and bow to complete the card.

My second card today uses one of the stamps featuring our 'so in love' little couple.
We've seen this couple earlier in the blog in a different colourway but it's lovely how a change of colour can completely change the mood.
I cut a piece of Core'dinations Wisteria cardstock to 6.75in square and punched round it with a Martha Stewart PATP punch set. I then cut the card base to fit.
Papers are from the accompanying CD
Ribbon is from my stash
I used the PATP set to punch the corners and the border and added gems for a wee bit of bling.

My last card today is from the Card Companions section of the CD and it is so, so simple to put together. I printed onto watercolour card both for the base of the card and the elements.
I think the added texture looks great with these images.
A sideways view to show the layers. BTW I added pearls to the flower centres before I sent the card away. Sometimes the pics have to be taken so fast that after I've added some last minute details they have to be winging their way to CC toute suite and I haven't time to take another pic! :)
Have fun with the launch today!
This has been a l- o- n- g post so you'll be glad to hear it's my only one today. :)
Have a good one!
