Susie here with two cards using several Sweet n Sassy Stamp sets I've come to love, and reach for often. Majestic Monarchs Monarch Dies, and Everyday Miracles.
My first card is a 5.5 x 5.5 square. I've created several dreamy layers in an aqua, sage, and light brown color palette. Some second generation stamping across the horizontal panel provides an old world botanical feel. I stitched across the bottom for added interest, and to secure the layers (especially at the edges). The sentiment from Everyday Miracles is the focal point with the lovely Monarchs surrounding it in flight. Each butterfly is layered over an existing stamped butterfly. A few sprinkles of sequins and a twine bow complete the card.
My second card is an A2 size. This card has a pretty fall palette, with the sentiment as the focal point again. I embossed the sentiment in gold and vellum, and laid it over a piece of rustic cream card stock for a nice soft feel. Tiny black rhinestones embellish the center of the butterflies. Both cards will be a nice addition to my card keeper for future use. Isn't it a nice feel to have hand crafted cards on hand to give at a moments notice. I like to call them sweet offerings from heart and hand.
I'm stepping down from the Sweet n Sassy Stamps Design Team. But, I'd like to thank each of you for all your kind comments over the past 8 months during our monthly releases, blog hops, and monthly posts. It has been a wonderful experience, and one I shall always cherish. I will continue to support Sweet n Sassy Stamps and the design team in their future endeavors from the sidelines. But it's time to explore and develop some new areas of art, photography, and do some traveling when time permits. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so I will leave you with a photograph I took in 2010.

What beautiful cards! I especially love the first one, with all the stamped butterflies (and the die-cut ones, too!). I'm sure the recipients of these cards will love them, too. Tfs!
