Sweet 'n Sassy Friday Feature - Happy Home

 

Welcome to this week's Friday Feature with Sweet 'n Sassy stamps!  This week we're featuring the new Happy Home stamp set...seriously darling set, which is just perfect for creating little scenes!

For my "scene," I started by cutting out a few hills from the Natural paper pad from Authentique (aren't those colors perfect for hills?)  I then used the Wendy Vecchi Sunburst stencil, and Wild Honey Distress Ink, to stencil the rays onto a piece of text paper (also from Authentique).  The house and trees were stamped on cardstock and watercolored, using Distress Markers and a water brush.  Then it was time to assemble!  The hills were faux stitched and the house and tress tucked under the hills.  The last item was to add two clouds, cut out using a cloud die.  The sentiment was stamped on the bottom hill.

Sweet 'n Sassy Friday Feature - Thankful Blooms

 

Today on the Sweet 'n Sassy blog, we're featuring one of the latest releases...Thankful Blooms (YES, there is a matching die!), Thankful Innies, and the Mother Word die.  Hop over to the SNSS blog to check out all of the new sets (and die) and to read about our latest challenge along with prize drawing details!

I'm just sharing a card featuring the Thankful Blooms stamp set and every time I looked at this set, I only thought of watercoloring.  However, since this is a solid image vs. an outline that can be colored in, I had to think out of the box on how to create a watercolor look.  Enter my Faber Castell Big Brush Markers!  I simply colored on each stamp, misted with water, and stamped on watercolor paper.  My first stamp, shown on the bottom left, was followed by a second on the upper left.  Two different looks!  You can even mist the stamp, before coloring it again, to get an even softer tone.  Fun stuff!

Be sure to check out all of the great new release details on the SNSS blog!!
