Hi everyone, welcome back!

I can’t believe today is the final day of StampSpotlight already!! I always feel sad when it’s the final day of the Spotlight, because I’ve so enjoyed getting up close and personal with one set and showing you all just why I love it as much as I do, and it makes me sad to have to put that set away – for the time being!

I truly hope you’re enjoying this series and have felt inspired! Thank you all *so* much for your kind words and comments – every single one of them made my day!!

So, Day 3! Bring it on!

Don’t forget – if you haven’t had a chance to comment on yesterday’s post or Day 1’s post then there’s still time to do so!! Comments on this month’s StampSpotlight are open until 7am EST/Midday GMT on Friday 4th October 2013 – that’s tomorrow!

In case you missed this post with all the info, here are some specifics:

The Details

• StampSpotlight is a monthly feature that runs on my blog at the beginning of each month.
• The Spotlight will run from the first Tuesday of each month and last for 3 days. That’s 3 days of inspiration!
• Each post will go live at 7am EST/Midday GMT.
• I will be sharing new projects I’ve created each month that featured my spotlighted set.
• Each Spotlight will focus on a favourite set of mine. My aim is to showcase a set from a different manufacturer each month, but it totally depends on which particular stamp I’m wanting to showcase – I won’t be tied down to any one manufacturer and I am not receiving anything from the manufacturers that I do spotlight – it’s all out of love!
• I have asked the manufacturers if they will help spread the word about StampSpotlight when they are featured but this does not affiliate me with the manufacturers in any way. Just wanting them to help spread the word!
• If any manufacturers decide to sponsor the giveaway of the free set then I will explicitly state this.
• Each set I will showcase is one I genuinely adore from top to bottom, inside and out – and I want to show you just why I love them!

All happy? Then let’s carry on!!

So today is the final day I’m Spotlighting the Clearly Besotted Stamps’ Call Me set:

And as I mentioned before, I’m also giving the die away as well!

So for today’s final project I am showcasing the outline stamp:

I love how this turned out!!

I started by stamping the phone onto Vintage Cream cardstock using SU! Baked Brown Sugar ink (stamped off once) then coating the phone with Glossy Accents for an enamel/plastic look! I restamped the dial and coloured it with Wink of Stella Glitter Pens in Gold then Silver and coated that too. When dry enough I trimmed and adhered the pieces together, adding the same glitter colouring to the cord too!

Next I stamped the large woodgrain stamp from Lawn Fawn’s Woodgrain Backdrops set onto Kraft cardstock and stamped the sentiment from a Studio Calico set using SU! Soft Suede ink. I trimmed this out and adhered it to my Rustic White card base using Pinflair Glue Gel before adhering the phone as well.

Finally I die cut a speech bubble from Vintage Cream cardstock using the Bubble Talk dies and die cut a heart from Kraft cardstock using the Simon Says Stamp Large Holiday Shapes dies, with the heart stamped with the log from Into The Woods using Brown Leather Satchel ink and adhered those to the base as well. Ta da!

I hope as this month’s series for this feature comes to the end that you are left feeling inspired! So, do you want a chance to win this month’s Spotlight set? You know what to do!

I do hope you’ve enjoyed October’s Spotlight!!
