Good morning everyone!! Hope you are enjoying your weekend....I'm sending hugs to all my friends up North who are in the midst of another winter storm!!! Hopefully, it will warm up soon!!!!
Today I can't stamp because I have got to get my taxes finished...uck!!!! Sooo, no cooking, no cleaning, no stamping...just papers and a calculator....it can't get much worse...LOL!!!! Anyway...I do want to share a couple of cards I made last week for different Splitcoast challenges using Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps.
This card was made for the Ways To Use It Challenge...we were to use piercing. I haven't done piercing for quite a while and boy does it show...don't look too close...LOL!!! I used a new set from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps
called Nature Silhouettes 2 which is a new release set for this month!! The
foliage was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black. The larger bird was also
stamped with the Versafine, embossed with clear ep, and cutout with the
coordinating die. The little bird at the bottom was stamped with Pool
Party and cutout with it's coordinating die. The sentiment is an old rub
on and the twine and button finish it off.
I made this card for the Mix-ability Challenge to use gesso and newsprint and the Friday Free 4 All Challenge to use eyelets. The newsprint was glued to a piece of whaite card stock and then gesso was brushed on over the newsprint.... a heating tool was used to dry it. Sponging was done over the dried gessoed newsprint with Marina Mist and Summer Sun. Then stamps from Sweet 'n Sassy's The Sea set were stamped with Versafine Onyx Black. Heavy twine was tied through the eyelet to finish it off.
Thanks for stopping by...have a great day !!!!
