Simply Sketched (sneak peek)

Simply Sketched is a Hostess set in the upcoming catalog. I loved it so much that I didn't want to wait and earn it so I paid for it ;). So here is a card with one of its images.

• The card base is Very Vanilla with a front of Soft Suede.
• I ran a piece of returning Pear Pizzazz through the Big Shot in the Flower Garden Embossing Folder. I layered it onto the Soft Suede front.
• I stamped the image onto Watercolor paper with Stazon and painted the image with ink and an Aqua Painter. I cut it out with the Ovals Collection Framelits. I layered it onto an oval of Baked Brown Sugar(new in color). I attached it to the card.
• I stamped a phrase from the set onto a scrap of Very Vanilla in Soft Suede and cut it using a Apothecary Accents Framelits. I sponged Soft Suede on the edges then popped it up on the card with Dimensionals.

I can't wait until the the new catalog official launch date!

Easter

The inspiration for this card came from this card http://stampingwithsandi.com/stampin-up-up-in-the-air-stamp-set/

• The card base is Naturals White.
• I used the Butterfly punch to make a stencil, then along the left side of the card I sponged Lucky Limeade, Baja Breeze, Calypso Coral and Daffodil Delight butterflies.
• I used the Flower Garden embossing folder laid it over the the butterflies and ran it through the Big Shot. I then sanded the ink off of the raised portions of the card.
• Happy Easter is from Heaven Blessed I stamped it with Versamark onto Baja Breeze and embossed it with Tangerine Tango Embossing powder. I then cut it out with the smallest Label Framlit.
• I cut out two Daffodil Delight Framelits and cut them in half different directions and framed them under the phrase.  I then added it to the front of the card.

I hope that you have a great april fools day and that you don't get pranked too often.
