Stem Silhouettes

Hi everyone!  I would like to share 2 cards today that I made using my current favorite set from Sweet N Sassy stamps- Long Stem Silhouettes.

The first card was created by sponging a bg with pink pirouette, rose red, and eggplant ink.  I then did first and second generation stamping of the silhouettes using versafine onyx ink.  The corners were punched with a marvy scallop corner punch and accented with pearls.  The dp is from SU! in rose red.

The second card I sponged crumb cake ink in my oval using my oval die as a stencil.  I then stamped only half of my image with versafine ink so that the flowers would be shorter and fit in the oval.  Great way to get more mileage from your stamps.  Rhinestones were added to the centers.  The flourish die is from MFT and the dp is MME.  

Well enjoy your day, summer sure is coming to a close so quickly!  

You are His

Back in June when I was helping out at the Sweet N Sassy stamps booth at the Syracuse stamp show, I demonstrated different sponging techniques.  The card I am sharing with you today is one of the cards that I demonstrated.  Korin then did a tutorial on how to do the Sponge and Spritz  on Splitcoast so you can see exactly how this card was created.

Supplies:
stamps- Sweet N Sassy stamps Serene Silhouettes, His Child
ink- versafine black, pumpkin pie, daffodil, and indigo
water spritzer

I hope you give this technique a try if you have not already.  It is so easy to do and creates beautiful and quick cards.  Thank you for joining me today, have a blessed day!

Sunflower Birthday

My husband's birthday was on August 10 and his favorite flowers are sunflowers.  So, I created this card for him that I would like to share with you today.

I created the bg panel by randomly stamping the small sunflower image fromSweet N Sassy stamps Prim Blessings to create my own dp and sponged the edges with saffron ink.  I then created my focal point for my sentiment by layering 2 of the decorative plaque dies which were also stamped using the new decorative frames set.  They are also available in a bundle this month :). The sentiment is from Script Birthdays.  

Supplies:

stamps- SNSS Prim Blessings, Decorative Frames, Script Birthdays

paper- white, choc chip, MME Hazel dp

ink- choc chip, so saffron

accessories- twine, SNSS decorative plaque dies, SNSS bookmark bits dies (border), button

My husband enjoyed receiving his card and I hope that I have been able to inspire you today.  Thanks for stopping in and have a great day!

Faith

Sweet N Sassy stamps is preparing for our August release.  So, I thought I would share a card with you  using a couple of the awesome sets from the July release.

I created the bg by stamping the doilies from the Delightful Doilies set in black memento and coloring the centers with my BG11 copic marker.  I stamped the scripture from the new Faith set and sponged pool party ink using my square nestie as a stencil.  Finally I stamped the beautiful borders on the top and bottom of the scripture from Decorative Frame Toppers and accented the centers with a tiny rhinestone.  The layout is my sketch from the challenge on SCS last week.

Supplies:

stamps- Sweet N Sassy stamps Delightful Doilies, Faith, and Decorative Frame Toppers

Paper- pool party, black, white

accessories- pool party button, white twine, rhinestones, square nesties, sewing machine, MFT fishtail flag dies, copic marker
