I
am here again sharing another card that I designed this past weekend using a
few of Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps new December
release stamp sets (check out my last two posts for additional cards using some
of the same stamp sets).
As
I mentioned in my previous posts, several of the December release stamp sets
are silhouettes which are perfect for scenes as well as masculine (and
feminine) cards- I have paired this card with the new Thoughtful Words stamp set- I love the
fonts on this set that Nina B. designed for Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps!!
Also,
don’t forget that this month Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps is offering the Scene Silhouettes:Woodland stamp set free with
any $60 order!!
I
used the #137 sketch from TGIF! Challenges and also incorporated the
Tic-Tac-Toe #027 Challenge (Pastel, Designer Paper and “Open”) for the
design.
If
you have not had a chance to visit the above challenge sites or the SNSS Blog/FB Page yet, I encourage you to do so- wonderful inspiration
from all!
This
card was fairly easy card to create- I used a chevron stencil with distress
oxide ink to create a bit of texture on a piece of designer paper, cut the
paper into four pieces, mounted onto black cardstock and created the background
per the sketch.
The
focal image was created by pressing distress oxide inks onto a silicone craft
mat, spritzing with water and pressing a piece of white cardstock into the
ink. Once the background was dry, I
stamped the Scene
Silhouettes:Tall Grasses image along with the Scene Silhouettes: Woodland image with black
archival ink and heat embossed both with clear embossing powder.
I
also heat embossed the sentiment from Thoughtful Words with clear
embossing powder onto white cardstock and matted both the sentiment and focal
image onto stitched circle die cuts.
The
card was finished off with a hemp twine bow.
You
could just change the sentiment and have a fun card for many occasions!
