CAS Silhouettes

I have been busy making cards for the March Sweet N Sassy stamps release coming up so I have not had much time to share here on my blog with you.  I do have some cards made that I will be sharing but  I just have to upload and type up the posts so they will be coming soon hopefully.

Anyway, I thought I would take a couple minutes to share some CAS cards that I made with my current favorite stamp set Long Stem Silhouettes.  Notice how I said *current* lol?  I really do love this set because the images are gorgeous and the sentiments are so versatile and I can pretty much make any occasion card that I need with it.  Anyway, have a look:






Both of my cards I did the shadow stamping technique where I stamped the image first with gray ink and then slightly over with black ink.

Supplies (both cards) 

stamps- Sweet N Sassy stamps Long Stem Silhouettes 
Cardstock- cryogen white, SU baja breeze, black, Prima Madeline dp 
Accessories- SU border punch, MS border punch, pearls, spica glitter pen

Have a fabulous day everyone and God bless!

Cocoa's Heart

Hi everyone and Happy Valentine's Day! I have a card to share with you today that has a love theme but can be used for occasions other than Valentine's day. As a matter of fact, I think I am going to give it to my husband for our anniversary.

 

I used the Cocoa's heart set and colored the image with copics. I cut out the heads and popped them up with foam tape and paper pieced the heart.

Here is a close up view of the image

 

I also decorated the inside of the card as well

 

Supplies: stamps- Cocoa's Heart and Bottom of my Heart (inside) 
Authentique patterned paper 
Accessories- buttons, twine, stickles 
Copics- W00, W1, W3, W5, W7, W9, R000, R00, R02

Glad you could stop by, have a wonderful day!
