Be brave

Hello everyone! For the card for today I finally got out my watercolors again. I love to play with watercolor paints but I don't use them enough ;). I love the beautiful flowing colorful effects you can get with them.

For this card I stamped two feathers from His Wings on watercolor paper and I used embossing powder to prepare them for my watercolors. The embossing powder makes a great base for watercoloring while the lines stay a bit raised so you can create 'puddles' of color on your card (and it's easier to stay in the lines haha).

After my watercolors dried I diecut my watercolored panel and adhered it on a patterned paper. I diecut a smaller frame for my message and added that to my card with foam tape. I added a little piece of blue twine behind the frame and added a couple of sequins to finish my card!

 For this card I used three stamp sets:

- Lucinde
 

What's Up?

{jane bosi} What's Up, Sweet Friends?

Today, I have a few samples I created using Sweet N Sassy's What's Up? clear stamp set and matching dies.  The first card, above ^, is pretty straight forward and makes use of a number of the dies--there are 15 dies in total some are chunky and some are skinny----good for lots of creative ideas!  In addition, the stamp set is full of just the right kind of encouraging words--perfect pick me ups!

My second card features What's Up along with Words of Life-Collection 2, Message of Hope, Keep In Touch Too and Words of Life-Common Words 1.

 I'm not much of an out of the box thinker so, it's always fun to pull bits and pieces together like this--I surprise myself!

Have a great day!  TTFN, Jane

Hope In The Lord

Hello Sweet 'n Sassy friends,  it's Ceal here, to share another new release sample with you. This card uses the new Bible journaling set Message of Hope. I wanted to show you, you don't have to be a Bible journal to use these sets, they also make beautiful cards. I also used an older set Leafy Flourish Background.

To make my card, I randomly stamped the word hope from the Message of Hope set across my panel. I embossed it with clear embossing powder and then stamped the Leafy Flourish Background in versamark ink as well, but didn't emboss it, instead I sponged some Pan Pastels over it. To finish it I stamped the greeting all from the Message of Hope set on a tag and placed rhinestones in the center of the flowers.
