A cloche is a little dome that you put over something. In the fall SU catalog, there are 2 new cloche sets to chose from. They both use the same dome and cut out. This set, called Classic Cloche, has a house stamp and some cute birds. Even though the birds on my cards are not inside of the dome, I still like this look. I copied the idea for these cards from Kerry Timms.
Look how sweet the birds are sitting on a little branch! I used the new sponge brush on the dome to shade it in and the flowers are from the Hand Penned stamp set.
This is pretty much the same card, only with a Soft Succulent background. I love how these cards came out.
Next up is this cards using the "book fold" at the side. Here I featured the houses from the stamp set. Then I tucked a little bird in the corner. The roofs of the houses have Wink of Stella on them to give them a bit of a sparkle. I cut out some little trees from the die cuts to finish the scene.
Here is a sample of how to use the Cloche set for a Christmas card. I put the little houses under the dome and added some snowflakes and sequins for a winter shaker card. The paper is Beautifully Penned from the summer Sale-a-Bration selections. I got this idea from Cheri's Cards.
Which one do you like the best? It's nice to be able to use your stamp sets through many seasons, don't you think?
