Wishing You Sunshine

Hello friends!  Today I'm sharing several cards here as well as on the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Blog using some of the new stamp sets just released by Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps.  

First up is this fruity card wishing you sunshine using the Fruit of the Spirit stamp set. 

Creative Nugget:  Distress Oxide Inks were pressed onto strips of painters tape and applied to the card front in a plaid pattern. Texture was added with one of the textures from the Texture Tile 1 stamp set.  Texture paste was then applied through the TH Sun Rays Stencil.  A frame was cut with Spellbinder Dies and the fruit from the Fruit of the Spirit stamp set was colored, cut, and applied to the frame.  Scripty Thoughts and the Sunshine Girl Alpha sets were used to make the sentiment.  

My second card was made using the Happy Scarecrow stamp set.

Creative Nugget:  Isn't this scarecrow just the cutest, most happy fellow you've ever seen?  Distress Oxide inks were applied to a panel and the leaves from the Happy Scarecrow set stamped over the colors.  The scene on the left side of the card was colored with Copic Markers.  Texture on the grassy hills was stamped using one of the texture stamps from the Texture Tiles 2 stamp set.  The sentiment was white embossed on a hand cut banner to finish the card.

These cards will be submitted for the following challenges:

Thanks so much for stopping by...wishing you sunshine until next time.

Hugs,

Cathy
