More Morning Glories!

Happy Saturday to you my friends!  We've been having some glorious weather here...very mild for winter.  On Thursday the groundhog informed us that we will have six more weeks of winter, but with the weather we've been having, I prefer to think that Spring is right around the corner!


What a wonderful release party Thursday evening!  If you've not had a chance to check out the new clear stamp sets, hop on over to the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps store and check them out...fabulous flowers and butterflies, roses, Cocoa, and Rhubarb, cute little girls, and a versatile mix and match sentiment set all about YOU!  I've been having fun with the new Morning Glory set and used it for The Sweet Stop sketch for this week!

Creative Nugget:  I love these gorgeous morning glories and stamped them repeatedly on the three different panels.  They were then colored in with my copic markers and cut with different sized nesties.  Each panel was layered onto True Black and several extra flowers were colored and popped up for dimension.  The background was done with alcohol inks and I loved how it turned out.  I put several drops of Lettuce, Wild Plum, Stream, and a small drop of gold onto a felt applicator tool and started dabbing onto a piece of glossy card stock.  When the piece of card stock was completely covered, some blending solution was added to the felt pad and dabbed over the colors to blend them.  The background you see on the card was the result!  All of the morning glory panels were layered onto the background following the sketch design.  This was then adhered to a piece of Select White and a True Black card base.  I cut the shank off the back of the button and added it, some lace, and a sentiment to finish the card.  I hope my mom likes it as it will be given to her for her birthday next week!

And the Christmas version!

Check out the ever-so-talented Sugar Babies and join us at The Sweet Stop this week!  We love to see what you create using Korin's wonderful sketches!
