Spotlight on Fantastic Flowers

Hello friends!  Today is my day to share on the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Blog and thought I'd share here as well.

Creative Nugget:  My card was inspired by the Freshly Made Sketch for this week and I ended up with quite a different look...quite clean and bold.  Since the flowers in the Fantastic Flowers stamp set by Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps are so large, the three concentric circles from the sketch were cut from one of the flower images.  Two of the layers were then colored to spotlight only portions of the flower.  The sentiment was stamped using the new Grunge Type Alpha.  A few splatters were added to finish the card.

This card will be submitted for the following challenges:

Freshly Made Sketches # 292

{PIN}spirational Challenge #192

Through the Craftroom Door - Anything Goes for June 13-20

The Flower Challenge #9 - Anything Goes

The Card Concept #75 - Boldly Graphic (Clean and Bold)

Thanks so much for stopping by...have a wonderful day!

Kindness Matters

Hello friends!  Happy Friday!  Today I am sharing a card on the SNSS Blog using two of the new stamp sets from the SNSS June release and thought I'd share here as well. 

Creative Nugget:   Flowers and leaves from the new Fantastic Flowers stamp set were randomly white embossed on a Neenah panel.  Watered down Distress and Oxide inks were dabbed onto the card front.  Some white Gesso was painted over the flowers throughout a Tim Holtz stripes stencil.  A circle aperture was cut from the panel.  The sentiment from the Kindness Matters stamp set was centered on my Misti and stamped on another panel so it would show through the aperture.  Acetate covers the window and sequins were sandwiched between the two layers.  One of the large flowers and leaves from the Fantastic Flowers set were stamped and cut with my new Scan 'n Cut (**love**). These were colored with Copic Markers and popped onto the card to frame the sentiment.

Kindness Matters and Fantastic Flowers are available now at the 

Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Store.
