Florals and Flourishes

 Hello Everyone!

I crafted the weekend away- it's been a while since I did that- and had fun stamping with a friend.  I wanted to make a non-Valentine Valentine card, so I got out my SnSS Blooming Anemones Stamp Set.  It was a bit of a 'pink weekend' for me, starting with this card- the flowers were colored with RV and R Copics and fussy cut out. 

 The background was stamped in Spun Sugar Distress Ink with the new SnSS Flourish Background Stamp. 

 The background panel was added to a kraft card base and then the middle sentiment strip was added.  Placement of the sentiment (from the SnSS Valentine Critters Stamp Set) was determined and was stamped with Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink using my MISTI.  The floral spray was adhered to the card and a few sequins were added for sparkle.  I used a white gel pen to highlight the flower centers.

Three Squares a Day

 Hello All!  

Happy new week.  It has been a dreary weekend here, perfect for crafting.  I spent the day crafting with a friend yesterday, making a variety of cards.  Along with the dreary weather comes bad photos and never have I had such trouble trying to get good pics of cards.  Would you believe that the true colors of the card below are peachy pink flowers and the squares are more pinky-mauve.  That is a far cry from peach and rust.  

I will definitely be trying to get a better picture when the sun is out. 

I used the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches~

Obviously, I rotated the sketch.  

My flowers and leaves are from the SnSS set, My Savior's Love.  The sentiment is from the Be Still and Know Stamp Set.  I have been using the Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink almost exclusively for my sentiments.  The coverage and deep black color are wonderful.  I Defined the flower centers with a Zig Millenium Marker, .008.  A few SSS Moonshine sequins and some Wink of Stella finish the card.  

Super simple with minimal supplies.  

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful week!

Color

 Hello, Friends!

Do you get in a color rut?  I know I sure do.  I really wanted to try something outside of my comfort zone and this is what I came up with.  Teal, mustard yellow and brown.  

I used an image from the Botanical Collages Stamp Set and stamped in multiple times using a light grey ink for the background.  My favorite flowers, from the My Savior's Love Stamp Set, were paired with this bird from the SnSS Birds and Blooms Stamp Set.  Both images were fussy cut out.  A strip of cardstock was added across the bottom and then the two images were layered on that.  The sentiment, from the Mason Jar Bouquet Stamp Set, was stamped with Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink

I added some SSS Moonshine sequins to the flower centers for lots of sparkle.

Too Bee or Not to Bee?

 Hello and Happy New Year!  

It still does not feel like winter here, but that is OK, as I am moving on to spring!  This is my most favorite image from the new-ish Botanical Collages Stamp Set from SnSS.  This pairs perfectly with my favorite stencil, Jumbled Hexies.  

The background was stenciled with the Jumbled Hexies Stencil.  The image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored with Copics.  The image was then fussy cut out and popped up and adhered over the stenciled area.  A sentiment strip was added along the right hand edge of the card using the blessings sentiment from SnSS Christmas Wordfetti Stamp Set.  The sentiment was stamped along the edge of the black cs using Hero Arts Unicorn White Ink and then heat embossed with Brutus Monroe Alabaster White Fine Embossing Powder.  A few black sequins finish the card.
