Hello everyone, welcome back! Today we are still counting down to the Clearly Besotted November 2021 release day and so I have another teaser for you. The release will go live on 1st November, so not long to wait as we are halfway through the teasers.

Today I have a card using the super cute Tangled In Tinsel and Merry Mole sets. So many Clearly Besotted sets combine really well with each other and so for this card I took some images from both sets to create my scene.
I started with my background and for that I used Distress Oxides – Picked Raspberry, Kitsch Flamingo and Spun Sugar. I blended these using blending brushes and went from dark to light from the top. I faded the inks out so that there was some white at the bottom. I sprayed the panel with Sheer Shimmer Spray Sparkle and then die cut it out with the smaller scallop rectangle die from PFS SLDCS Mini Slim Line Stitched and Scalloped Rectangles.
I then took a bunch of images from Tangled in Tinsel and the mice from Merry Mole and I stamped them using Memento Tuxedo Black onto 80lb white cardstock. They were all coloured with Copics and I cut them out. The numbers I have used are listed further down this post.
I made a rough layout of where I wanted them all positioned and then popped the inked panel into the MISTI and stamped a sentiment from the Tangled In Tinsel set using Versafine Onyx Black Ink. I then adhered all my images onto the panel – some were popped up with a little bit of foam tape for extra interest. I also added some Copic Spica glitter pen to the presents, trees, candy cane, tinsel and star. You can’t see it in the photos, but the twinkle is just so festive when you tilt it into the light, especially as the background has lots of sparkle too.
I added a few sequins from Lucy’s Cards around the tree and called it done. The panel was then adhered onto a white scalloped panel and then onto a base card. Before you head off, do spend a few minutes looking at all the fabulous inspiration on the Clearly Besotted blog, then over to Keren, Michelle and our guests Alberto (Instagram), Francine and Mona (Instagram).
I’ll bee back tomorrow with another card for you. And the “bee” is not a typo, so there’s a little hint there. Nor is it anything to do with Arnold Schwarzenegger’s The Terminator! See you then and happy crafting!

Just the sweetest Christmas scene.
Love the light pink background, it makes all the copic colouring pop.
Cheers

What a beautiful scene, Lisa! I love the pink in the background and I can imagine how sparkly and pretty that is in real-life. Those characters are adorable! I love how you have added the mice in. I think they might be my favourite this month. Great colouring as always too! xx
