Hi
Sweet Friends!
I
hope all of you are having a great week! I had a chance to play with a few of Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps new January release stamp sets and created
quite a few cards!
Several of the stamp sets are silhouettes which are perfect
for scenes for so many occasions as well as masculine cards- paired with a
sentiment stamp set and you have endless possibilities!
I
will be sharing the cards in separate posts plus this month Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps is offering the Scene
Silhouettes: Wetlands stamp set free with any
$60 order!! The stamp set is not available for purchase yet but will be in February
but what a fabulous gift for the month of January!!
My
first card features the Scene
Silhouettes: Wetlands stamp set along with the Scene
Silhouettes: Wetland Grass and Faith and since I love to play along with online challenges, I
incorporated the Atlantic Hearts #245 Sketch, the INKSpirational #151 “Stamping Only” Challenge and the "Simon Says: Something New” Monday Challenge into 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!
To
create this card:
1).
Using Distress Inks, apply the ink to a silicone craft mat, lightly spritz with
water and press a piece of white cardstock into the ink. Lift up and repeat the process until you are
satisfied with the result. Trim the
panel to 3” x 3”.
2).
Once the panel has dried, de-static the paper with an embossing powder tool,
ink and stamp the images from Scene
Silhouettes: Wetlands and the Scene
Silhouettes: Wetland Grass stamp sets with an
archival black ink onto white cardstock, apply clear embossing powder and heat
set with the heat tool. Once the
embossing has cooled, re-ink the cattails from Scene
Silhouettes: Wetland Grass with black distress
ink and stamp over the embossed images. Use a Sharpie® Extra Fine White Paint
Pen to add water ripples below the fish image.
3).
Ink the sentiment from Faith with archival black ink, stamp onto white cardstock, apply
clear embossing powder and heat set with the heat tool. Trim the panel, mount onto black cardstock.
4).
Cut the scene panel into three 1” sections and re-cut each section again so you
have nine 1” pieces. Mount the pieces
onto the card front with dimensional foam.
5).
Stamp the duck image from Scene
Silhouettes: Wetlands with archival black ink onto white cardstock, apply
clear embossing powder, heat set with a heat tool. Once cooled, fussy cut the image and add to
the card front.
6). Finish off
the card with crystal jewel drops.
