Sweet 'n Sassy Release Celebration - Inspirational Word Art

Welcome to DAY 3 of our February Release Blog Hops!

Today the DT is thrilled to share the new Inspirational Word Art with you.  This 4"x6" set includes 6 inspiring sentiments that are sure to encourage any recipient and go nicely with any stamps you already own.  This set is the first in it's series!

For my card,  I took all of the sentiments from the set and laid them out on a card, in a pattern that would fill my piece of cardstock.  Once the design was set, I pick up all of the stamps at once with a stamp press (if you don't have one of these...you need one!)  I stamped the sentiments on the cardstock and then embossed with white embossing powder.  Then I grabbed my watercolors and scribbled some colors all over the card.  The embossing resists the paint!  I added a main sentiment, some bling, and another darling butterfly (left over from yesterday's card!)

Check out the full set and links to the rest of the DT's creations below!
