Teacups and Roses

Hello friends...hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! I have two cards I'm sharing over at the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Blog today using the Teacup Roses and Wood Backgrounds stamp sets.  

Creative Nugget:  Two panels with a Wood Background stamped over Distress Oxide Inks were mounted to the embossed card front.  The Teacup Roses were colored with Copic Markers, cut out and popped onto a stitched panel.  A sentiment from the Teacup Roses set was split and stamped on two die cut banners. The design for this card comes from CAS(E) This Sketch.

My second sample also uses the Keep in Touch Too stamp set.

Creative Nugget:  The Copic colored Teacup Roses were again popped onto a Wood Background.  The sentiment on this card is from the Keep In Touch Too stamp set and was white embossed on a hand cut gray banner.

These card will be submitted for the following challenges:

Wild About Wood

Hello friends!  I just love the texture stamps in the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Store and the new Wood Backgrounds Stamp Set is no exception.  Today I'm sharing a couple of cards over on the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Blog using Wood Backgrounds with a few other favorites from the store.

First is Wood Backgrounds with Winter Birds.

Creative Nugget: Papers from Carta Bella were used on the card base.  The wood round was stamped on a mixed media panel that was sprinkled with Color Burst Powders and spritzed with water.  This was cut with a circle die.  The cardinal and holly leaves from the Winter Birds stamp set were colored with Copic Markers and popped onto the Wood Background.  Glossy Accents was added to the berries and the sentiment was stamped on a banner die cut to finish the card.

Next up is Wood Backgrounds with the new Doves of Peace stamp set.

Creative Nugget: Wood texture was impressed onto the background and one of the Wood Backgrounds was white embossed on a piece of Kraft card stock cut with a Stitched Rectangle Die.  One of the doves from the Doves of Peace stamp set was colored with Copic Markers, cut out and popped onto the embossed wood panel.  Glossy Accents was added to the globe.  The sentiment was white embossed on a red banner. Strips of red card stock and sequins were added to finish the card.  The design for this card is from Freshly Made Sketches.

These cards will be entered for the following challenges:
