All is well

Hi, all!  Brenda here, and I’m so jazzed!  I'm very grateful for such an opportunity, to showcase some of my favorite Sweet ‘n’ Sassy images and share with you some fun paper tricks.

There’s so much to love about Sweet ‘n’ Sassy products.  This week, my focus is their clever silhouettes sets and a couple very useful dies.  I enjoy creating sponged and masked scenes.  With this card, I used the negative from a Spellbinders Nestability deckle rectangle to contain the scene.  I used the snss fence die to cut a mask, which was applied temporarily to the negative space.  Then I used the die from the new Happy Happy die set to create the fluffy clouds, stamped the mountains from Landscape Silhouettes twice (once in gray, once in green).  Then I used the grass die to mask the sponged grassy area in the foreground, removing the fence die for the last pass.  Finally, I removed all the masks and stamped the drummer boy and the sentiment from the God Is set.  All done with Neenah Natural cardstock and Memento Inks.

I love how well the Sweet ‘n’ Sassy silhouettes, sentiments and dies work with the mask and sponge technique.
