Good morning! How did we get to November already?! Today Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps has a new release, and we are having an Instagram Hop (celebrating 16 years in business!) with card samples using the new products, plus some oldies but goodies too! Be sure to check over there for this card plus all the other projects in the hop, and comment on IG for a chance to win a $25 prize. You can find me on IG- @papercookies4u, and the hop will start at @sweetnsassystamps.
My card today features an awesome new set that I just love, Botanical Collages. I also used Script Background and the Jumbled Hexies Stencil. I decided to forego an additional sentiment and simply left it as is, with the words “Soli Deo Gloria”, meaning “to God alone be glory”.
I stamped the image onto watercolor paper with Versafine Black ink. Then I applied some Distress inks to a piece of acetate, spritzed it with water, and flipped it over to dab the colors onto the image panel. I was very careful to try to keep the coral color within the flower petals. When dry, I painted it with a little more of the Distress inks.
Some shimmer was added to the flower center and bee’s wings, which didn’t show up on the first photo.
Enjoy the hop and be sure to comment on Instagram for a chance to win!
Distress colors: Abandoned Coral, Fossilized Amber, Spiced Marmalade, Mermaid Lagoon, and Mowed Lawn.
