Hello sweet friends! Just getting around to sharing these cards from the new MER-MAZING June Release by Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps here on my blog.
My first card uses the new Mer-Mazing stamp set created by Jenn Nilsson and an oldie but goodie, Lots-a-Spots.
Creative Nugget: Some of the spots from Lots-a-Spots were white embossed on mixed media paper. Distress Oxide Inks were sponged over the embossed spots and other spots from the stamp set were stamped with the same Oxide Inks to create the underwater background. Circle dies were then used to cut bubbles from the background. Images from the Mer-mazing stamp set were colored with Copic Markers and cut out using the Scan 'N Cut. Some of the images were then placed behind the popped up background while other images were popped on top of the background to finish the card.
My second card used the new Hymn Word Art stamp set designed by Nina Brackett.
Creative Nugget: Distress Oxide inks were pressed onto an acrylic block, spritzed with water, and stamped onto a piece of mixed media paper to create the background. This panel was cut with a stitched rectangle die. One of the hymns from the Hymn Word Art stamp set was black embossed onto the background. A white paint pen was used to color in some of the letters. A black gingham bow was added along with some sequins to finish the card.
My final card used the Peony Cluster stamp set which was the stamp of the month last month, but is now available for purchase.
Creative Nugget: The background panels were created with Ranger Alcohol Inks on Yupo paper. The peonies were white embossed on vellum and fussy cut. The vellum flowers were popped onto the card with foam tape. Netting ribbon was added to one layer and the sentiment from Happy Couple was embossed on a die cut banner to finish the card.
