Christmas Light

Hello friends and welcome to the last of the September Sweet Peeks for Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps.  This is probably my favorite of all the new sets being released tonight!

This gorgeous set designed by Dina Kowal  includes one beautiful candle image and three sentiments.  The cost is only $11.00 AND the best part is that there is a die available for the candle image...WhoooHooo!

Creative Nugget:  I really love this set and how this card turned out.   The card base is Select White and the edges were sponged with Tea Die Distress Ink.  Next came a layer of Pinefeather, and then some gorgeous papers from the Bo Bunny "Father Christmas Collection."  A circle was cut with a nestie and sponged with the following distress inks in the order listed: Scattered Straw, Wild Honey, Spiced Marmalade, Fired Brick, and Aged Mahogany.   This created a kind of glow behind the candle image which was colored with copic markers, cut out, and popped up on the sponged circle and backed with a Pinefeather scalloped circle nestie.  Lemon Yellow Liquid Pearls were added to the candle drips, Glossy Accents were added to the berries, and a jelly roll pen was added to the veins on the holly leaves for texture.  A bit of lace, a scalloped border, and some pearls finish the card.  You can see more fabulous samples made with "Christmas Light" on the SNSS Blog.

I hope you have been enjoying all of the September Sweet Peeks this past week and have your wish list ready because tonight is the night all nine new Christmas sets will be revealed.  The release party begins at 8:00 PM on the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps forum over at SCS!  There will be contests, prizes, and lots of chatter!  Hope you can make it!

Hugs,
