Hello there and welcome to the Clearly Besotted 2nd Anniversary Blog Hop! It also happens to be release day for the October sets so we are celebrating big style! ;D
In celebration, we have a blog hop full of extremely talented guests as well as all of the fabulous design team. Each person on the blog hop will have a link to the next person but if you get lost please head over to Stephanie's blog where she will have links to everyone. There are also a number of prizes up for grabs along the way. Each person on the hop has a £20 gift card to give away, one lucky person will also win a £100 gift card, so make sure you leave comments at every step along the way.
You should have arrived here from the amazing Maureen Plut.
For my teaser today I am using the new Hanging Around stamp set and matching dies. I have first stamped the wreath using Versamark ink and heat embossed using Ranger silver embossing powder. I have coloured in four of the baubles using BV31 and BV34 Copic Markers and some Wink of Stella. This has then been cut out using the matching die.
I have taken a panel of white cardstock and cut the wreath from it again. I have popped a piece of vellum behind it and then inlaid the first image on top. The sentiment, from the same set, has been stamped below and heart embossed. I have adhered the panel to some Bazzill Card Shoppe CS with foam tape and added a few HA Smooth Gems to the wreath.

I also have my usual release reveal video to share with you:
Thank you so much for visiting me today. The next stop on the hop is the super amazing Amy Wanford. Enjoy!
** ETA: Comments eligible to win the prize are now closed, thank you! **
