DT Favorites: Landscape Silhouettes

Hello sweet friends!  This month, in lieu of a release, the design team at Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps has chosen their favorite Sweet 'n Sassy Stamp Set to feature.  Each day from October 5th through the 9th, different sets will be featured on the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Blog.  Not only will you be able to see fabulous samples made with these all-time favorite sets, but you will be able to purchase them at 20% off the regular price for this week only as long as supplies last.  Click HERE to see the DT Favorites Sale!

Today is Day 2 of the Favorites Features and we will be showcasing my favorite, Landscape Silhouettes, as well as Nature Silhouettes 2.  

Here are my samples made with Landscape Silhouettes:

Creative Nugget:  Both scenes were created by masking and sponging the background with Memento Inks.  The silhouette images were stamped using Versafine Onyx Black ink.  Basic Grey papers were used to make the first card, and The Vintage Postcard set was used to create a background and sentiment for the second card.

For more samples using Landscape Silhouettes and Nature Silhouettes 2, hop on over to the SNSS Blog. Don't forget to leave a comment on the blogs of the DT showing samples today for a chance to win a $10 store credit.  To make it easy to view their blogs, I've included their links below.

Butterfly Flourish

Happy Spring everyone!  Well...spring may officially be here, but the weather is not cooperating with the new season!  I'm ready to say good-bye to winter, so for my new sample for The Sweet Stop, I grabbed some butterflies and spring colors!

Creative Nugget:  I found this Graphics 45 patterned paper in my stash and thought the Butterfly Flourish stamp by Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps would work well with this week's sketch.  Both sides of the DP were used to make the three panels on the card front and were stitched to Early Espresso card stock.  This was mounted to a Vintage Cream card base.  The butterflies were stamped on Vintage Cream card stock, colored with Copic Markers, and mounted to an Early Espresso Gold Labels Four Die.  An extra set of butterflies were cut out and popped up for dimension.  The sentiment is from the new Be Encouraged stamp set and was cut with a Spellbinders banner die.  An organza brad and some pearls finish the card.

These stamp sets were used to create this card:
