Hello All!

I am so excited...I can hardly contain myself!!!!

I have just officially become a freelance illustrator and Clear Dollar Stamps is releasing 2 of my very first stamps today!!!

My stamp line is called True :D Doodles Designs. Right now my entire line consists of two very simple stamps but hold on to you hats! There will be some detailed images coming your way soon!

This will be a rather lengthy post (sorry) because I have lots of samples to show you that I have done with them. Remember, you can click on the pictures to enlarge.

For the first sample I teamed up my "Holly Leaves" image with the beautiful Luke 2:14 sentiment from Clear Dollar Stamp's "Christmas Scriptures" set. I used the stamp to make an embellishment to compliment this beautiful scripture by stamping it on pearlescent cardstock and cutting it out. I also stamped it several times on the designer paper and colored it with "Shimmerz" to tie it all together.

Card #1

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

Charisma Cardz - Christmas

Stampin For The Weekend - Create a Project That Most Suits Your Style

Can't be more my style then using a stamp from one of my own drawings! :)

This next card was a quick and easy one to do. It would be very easy to mass produce for your Christmas card exchange. That is the beauty of this simple holly stamp...it paints up in a flash but looks very pretty. The next two cards have the same coloring on the image and I only used 2 colors!

Lori from Clear Dollar Stamps asked me to do a coloring tutorial with this image and it is posted on her blog.
