Hi there! Today I'm here to share a darling new stamp collection from Sweet 'n Sassy. It's a collection celebrating adoption! This is definitely a topic that is near and dear to my heart. Not because I have adopted children (although I would in a heart beat if it wasn't so expensive!) but because I have a number of friends with wonderful adopted children that I love dearly. There are so many children who need homes...and it's a tremendous blessing when one finds loving parents to raise, love, and care for them.
And this set is extra special because for every purchase, Sweet 'n Sassy will donate $10 towards the Henan Kids International organization to help with orphans in Henan, China. Be still my heart...
This set is stock full of amazing sentiments, I wanted my card to focus on one of my favorite sayings in the set. And when I think of sentiments on cards, I think of Joanne B. Yes...I channeled Joanne for this card! (I wonder if she knows that I always think of her when I think of sentiments as the focal point on a card...she's the queen of making great sentiment cards!) I love her use of kraft cardstock too...So Joanne, thank you for the inspiration!
Since I was using a sentiment as my focal point, I wanted to dress up the card with pretty designer paper and the Farm Girl paper line from October Afternoon was perfect! I got busy cutting lots of layers and digging out this sweet MFT die, Layered Label (isn't that fun die?!) Then after I stamped the sentiment, I added some faux stitching with a Distress Marker, added some little flowers, a few brads, and some bling.
Enjoy today's card and be sure to check out the Sweet 'n Sassy blog for more details on ordering this wonderful set!
Very pretty Kim. Love the embossed background, the layers... the label looks great. Fab embellishments.
