Rest in the Lord

Happy Saturday stamping friends!  It's time for another fabulous sketch at The Sweet Stop!  I love layers and Korin's sketches always provide plenty of opportunity to lay on the layers!

Creative Nugget:  If you love stamping flowers, you will love Flowers in Bloom, a clear stamp set by Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps.  Although this is not a new set in the Sweet 'n Sassy line of stamps, it is new for me, and I found myself reaching for it to use with this sketch.  A stamp positioner was used to repeatedly stamp the image across the main panel. The flowers and butterflies were colored with copic markers.  The panel was sponged with Antique Linen, Broken China, and Peeled Paint Distress Inks and layered onto True Black...I can't get enough of my black card stock!  A piece of patterned paper was zig-zag stitched to a True Black layer.  Some vintage cream card stock was embossed with the square lattice folder and sponged with Peeled Paint.  This panel was zig-zag stitched to another piece of True Black.  Everything was layered onto an Autumn Rose card base.  The verse from Psalms is from the Wait on the Lord clear stamp set.  It was stamped and cut with a circle Nestie and layered onto an Autumn Rose Picot Edge Circle die cut.  Celery organdy ribbon was tied around the main panel and several additional flowers and a butterfly were popped up for dimension.





A Rose Star Jelly Roll Pen was used to create some sparkle on the coneflowers.  It's hard to see on the main photo, but you can get a better idea from this close-up.  That finished off this card!

Here's the Christmas version!

You'll get plenty of fabulous inspiration as you visit the other Sugar Babies.  Hope you'll give this sketch a try!  We love to see your creations!
