Rose Banner

Hello Friends!  Today I am sharing a set of note cards over on the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Blog and thought I would share here as well.  I've been having fun with the new Stamp of the Month for April 2018.  Not only is the Rose Banner Stamp Set designed by Nina Brackett beautiful and fun to use, but you can get it for free with a $75 purchase...however, only until the end of April 30th.

Creative Nugget: A background was made using different colors of Oxide inks on mixed media paper.  Texture was added using the Texture Tiles and coordinated ink colors.  The rose image was placed in my Misti tool and stamped with archival ink.  The rose and leaves were then painted with white gesso.  The panel was put back into the Misti and stamped again with archival ink.  A light wash of color was then added to portions of the flower and the leaves using watered down Oxide inks.  Different sentiments from the Rose Banner set were stamped on each card.  Love how the rose image pops against the bold background colors!

These cards will be submitted for the following challenges:

Just Us Girls Challenge #435 - Word Week: BOLD

4 Crafty Chicks Challenge #397 - Flowers

A Gem of a Challenge #216 - Female Birthday with a Sentiment

Always Fun Challenge #53 - Anything Goes

Simon Wednesday Challenge - Simon Says: Happy Birthday

Thanks so much for stopping by...hope you were inspired!

One of a Kind

Hello friends!  Have you had a chance to check out the April release from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps?  I just love this adorable unicorn from the new Be Unique Stamp Set.

Creative Nugget:  The AWESOME sentiment from the Be Unique stamp set was stamped repeatedly in rainbow colors across the background of the card.  The unicorn was stamped and fussy cut three times with one of the unicorns colored with rainbow colors, making it one of a kind.

The April 2018 Stamp of the Month is the beautiful Rose Banner Stamp Set designed by Nina Brackett and is free with a $75 purchase..

Creative Nugget:  Dare 2B Artzy papers were used for the design of the card.  The banner from the Rose Banner Stamp Set was cut apart and the sentiment added.  The small butterflies from the set and one of the Majestic Monarchs were added to a panel stamped with one of the Texture Tiles (**LOVE this stamp set**) along with a few sequins.

Be sure to check the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Facebook for more samples made with these sets.
