Anything Goes Challenge at Sweet Stamps and a Framed Flower

I have a fun mixed-media-ish card for you today for Sweet Stamps :)

I created this card by first sponging the background using Pumice Stone Distress Ink and the Moroccan Tile 5 x 7 stencil.  The I stamped the Dahlia red rubber stamp on kraft card stock along with the Happy Birthday Sentiment from the Framed Handwritten Words clear stamp set.  I took the Classy Circle Frame Piccolo and heat embossed it with Enchanted Aubergine enamel powder, using the Piccolo fluid adhesive.  I layered them all on glittery purple card stock and voila!

I had fun creating this card, and I hope it shows you more that you can do with your Sweet Stamps craft products!

Come back soon for more Sweet Stamps fun!

Bird on a Flowering Branch Thinking of You with Sweet Stamps

I have a Thinking of You card today for Sweet Stamps.  Funny how the events in your life (or of those around you) influence the kinds of cards you make.  My boyfriend's family is saying a final good bye to a loved one this week, and this will be the card I send to his mother.

I used distress inks in Fossilized Amber, Twisted Citron and Peeled Paint to create the background with the Moroccan Tile 5 x 7 stencil.  Then I stamped and heat embossed the Bird on a Flowering Branch rubber stamp and the sentiment from the Framed Handwritten Words clear stamp set onto a piece of vellum to tone down the background.  I added some black card stock strips to make sure it fit with the black card base, and then finally some bright green sequins.

This stamp was perfect for this kind of card.  It is detailed enough to not have to do anything else with it, and not too detailed that it all melted together.  I really like how this card turned out, and I know the family will appreciate it as well.

You can find all of the linked products in the Sweet Stamps online store.  Come and join in the two monthly challenges for a chance to win some prizes...you know you want to!  See you soon!
