Poppies.

This isn't a new set, but it's my favorite of all my Sweet 'n Sassy sets.... Poppies & Greetings. I stamped the main image of the set in Versafine Onyx Black ink on a book page, then painted the poppies in with white acrylic paint. I used Polar White Flower Soft and Martha Stewart glitter in the flower centers. This is my last guest post for the month.... sigh.... it has been lots of fun! Thanks to Korin and the Design Team for having me over to play!

Big Top Easel

The new Circus Digital Stamp Collection got my mind spinning about a pop-up easel card... this was sort of a prototype, and I'm not fully satisfied with my coloring, but I wanted to share it anyway. You can get a basic idea of the concept in the close-ups below - if you're familiar with an easel card, the format is the same, but with anchored images inside that flip up to hold the easel up in place. I'll post more detailed instructions and more photos on my blog.

Coloring was done with Touch Twin markers, and the sentiment is computer-generated (that font is called Ziggy Zoe - isn't that a cute one?) Hope you'll give this cute digi set a try!

Hugs, Dina

Peaceful in Pink

Here's another reflection card using Peaceful Swans... just a different color palette. See that little polka-dotty layer peeking out behind the swan panel? That's the backing card that comes in Sweet 'n Sassy's clear stamp sets! My swan panel is watercolored with Adirondack reinkers from Ranger.

Thanks for stopping by - hope you have a great weekend! Have you visited the Think Spring hop yet??

Peaceful...

Hi, everyone! Sooooooo thrilled to be designing for SNSS this month...... thanks for making me feel so welcome!
The beautiful swan set released this month has been so fun to work with. I love working with bird and animal images, and creating a scene around a focal image. One way you can achieve a reflected image is to stamp the swan image, ink up again and stamp the image onto a solid stamp, then use the solid stamp to stamp the image in reverse. **Make sure you mask the first stamped image so your second image doesn't overlap.

I watercolored this image with reinkers and Inktense pencils using a water brush. The card base is embossed with a Fiskars texture plate.

Thanks for stopping in.... see you next week!
