Bold Peonies

 Hello Sweet 'n Sassy Fans! This is Chrissy D here, sharing a project I created with the BEAUTIFUL Peaceful Peonies. I have enjoyed seeing everyone's projects. This set is SO versatile!!! I started by stamping the Peonies in a light brown ink color and colored it in using Prismacolor pencils. Once it was finished being colored, I cut out the image. 

The base of the card is white. I layered a peice of black cardstock on the base. Using the Thinking of You image from the Peaceful Peonies, I stamped using Versamark. I then sprinkled white embossing powder and heat set it. I had remaining scraps of patterned paper from Basic Grey and used those along with some decorative scissors to create the scallops and corner peices. To finish the card I used Viva Pearl Pen to create the "dots."

Here's the entire Peaceful Peonies stamp set, along with a link to purchase it. Thank you for stopping by. Have a BLESSEd day!

Hi Sweet 'n Sassy Friends, Ever have a week that the days get away from you? We have had a busy week, that has been filled with opportunities of personal growth and spiritual growth! I have another card today using the beautiful The Sea Clear Stamp Set.  

You will love using this stamp set in your creations to encourage others. The Scripture and the poetic quotes that are in this set are the perfect words to encourage someone who is going through a challenging time.

On my project to day, I stamped the Sailboat image using Staz-On Black ink on glossy cardstock. Using several different yellows and Jumbo Sponge Daubers, I added a golden hue to create a sunset landscape. I matted the glossy cardstock on a dark brown cardstock and then a piece of retired Basic Grey patterned paper. Repeating the layering on the dark brown and then an orange piece of cardstock for the base. Once I looked at the card, I realized I had too much yellow. So I added some white Sharpie, extra fine to the water reflections, to create more contrast. Once finished, I looked through my embellishments and added an anchor with a Mini glue dot, I took some chord and looped it to create a rope look and adhered it to the cardstock with liquid glue.

I appreciate you taking a peek today. Come back tomorrow for some more eye candy created by Gracie.
May your day be filled with many blessings,

Chris Dickinson

Stand Tall Valentine!

Hi Sweet & Sassy Friends! I am so excited to be back on the Design Team with all of the talented designers.   Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps has their brand new release of several new stamp sets to the SNSS line and the Creative Worship line.  Be sure to check out our Face Book Page to see all the new sets which are available for pre-order NOW!! 

On today's card, I used two of the new sets. I just love this adorable Giraffe, as it reminds me of my son when he was a toddler. His favorite toy was a stuffed giraffe. This set is called Stand Tall. I stamped the image using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored the images with my Chameleon Markers.

I have some of my favorite papers from Basic Grey called Out of Print in my stash, and I thought it would go well with the giraffe. I adhered the white cardstock to the patterned paper and used red cardstock as my base. In the upper corner, I stamped the NEW Lynzee Script  Alpha stamp"V" in red ink and matted in red and black cardstock, that I punched out with a 1 3/8" circle punch and a scallop punch. Using black and white gingham ribbon, I created two streamers and mounted them using pop dots from the base of the "V" circle.

This set is so fun and will make adorable Valentine's, however, it offers great versatility for cards of encouragement, love and friendship.
