Sweet 'n' Sassy Stamps and MISTI Collaboration

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday! Today we are celebrating collaboration between Sweet n Sassy stamps and My Sweet Petunia, and we are celebrating with a hop and of course prizes! 

If you are following the hop, then you should have arrived from Stephanie Severin blog and your next stop will be Giovana Smith.

To make my card I used two sets from Sweet'N'Sassy stamps Peony Cluster and Scripty Thoughts .

I used my MISTI to stamp the image with Watermark ink onto cold press watercolor paper. I stamped few times to have nice coverage, then embossed in white. Watercolored with Tombow markers and set it aside. 

Stamped the sentiment onto Pebble card stock and embossed in white. Using my Cut And Align tool I cut the sentiment then assembled the card

Prizes: Each company is giving away $50 gift certificate. Winners will be drawn from across all coments. Winners will be announced on August 27th

Picket Fence Studios: August Release is Live

Hi everyone!

Happy Thursday! Today is the 14th of the month which means it's time for the Picket Fence Studios new release. As with every release, this one is another amazing one! 

It's mainly about Fall and Halloween!

Here are few samples I made! 

Impression Obsession: Old is New

Hi everyone,

Sometimes we get so busy with new released stamps that we forget about our old favorites. The Impression Obsession team has set aside a couple days a month to share some new projects using some great older stamps. You can see the list of today’s participants on the Impression Obsession blog.

For my card today I created an alcohol ink background on Yupo paper, then stamped the Lions using Versamark and embossed in Black. Next stamped the Don't look back sentiment and also embossed in black.

Trimmed the panel down to 4" x 5 1/4" and adhered to top folding black note card.

Impression Obsession: Moody Blues

Hi stampers!

Welcome to another Impression Obsession challenge. This round it's called Moody Blues. Blue is my favorite color, so this was perfect for me. 

Visit the Impression Obsession blog to find a full list of designers who are playing along and for more inspiration. 

For my card today I decided to use the Poinsettia stamp along with the Merry Christmas die. I stamped the image onto cold press watercolor paper with Watermark ink and embossed in white. Then watercolored it with Dr Ph Martin's Radiant Liquid watercolors. Once dry I sprayed with Glitter dust spray.

I die cut 3 times the sentiment from white card stock, adhered all layers together, let it dry then sprayed with the glitter spray and adhered to the watercolored panel.

I used fun foam to adhere the panel to top folding white note card.
