Gotta Map??

Hi All!!
If you are looking for the Sweet Stamp Shop new release post, please go here
 Today is the last day of the Sweet n Sassy New Release Blog Hops.  Today's set is one of my favorites- Across the Miles.




This wonderful set designed by Dina Kowal is perfect for those who love to travel, but also for encouraging distant loved ones and missionaries.  The different elements work nicely with the main image to create a variety of styles and the sentiments are beautiful and inspiring.  It also coordinates very nicely with Dina's Vintage Postcard set.

  • Stamp set includes 4 images and 8 sentiments
  • Set measures approximately 4" x 6"
  • The map image measures approximately 3 5/8" x 2"
  • Designed by Dina Kowal
  • Stamp set is $15
Last week, I shared my CAS card using this set on the SnSS blog.  Today, I am sharing my non-CAS version.
Is not this map image gorgeous??!!  I just love all of the swirls and details of the stamp.  I started with watercolor paper, spritzed it with water and then used the direct to paper technique, with a Pool Party ink pad.  Next I spattered on diluted Island Indigo and Pool Party ink and dried it.  Then I sponged on more Pool Party to fill in some areas.  After that I spritzed water onto the inked paper and dried it. 
I inked up the image with Midnight Muse and then wiped off some ink from the lower left hand corner swirl and applied Tangerine Tango ink with a marker. I Stamped the image, and then finally, spritzed the whole thing with Tattered Angels gold spray.
For another card I have made using this set, check the SnSS blog on Tuesday, May 28th!
