CCS Sketch Challenge and RAK

Creative Clear Stamps has a brand new Design Team and they are smokin' hot already!!! Laura kicked off the first of their sketch challenges this week on the CCS blog: A Fairy Creative Place that I just had to try... (in fact, if you want to play along you have until Saturday).

I made this using the Sentiment Single Enjoy the Attention and some Fancy Pants patterned paper, The Daily Grind. I loved the four squares behind the focal image and turned my squares into Labels 9 dies... I added a bit of sparkle to this by stamping the circles from Friendship with Versamark and using Iridescent Ice embossing powder.

I also have a beautiful card to share that I received from a dear stamping friend in Croatia....

I received this beautiful card and some assorted ribbons and lace from Nina Brackett :o) Isn't this beautiful!! It has been a blessing getting to know her via blogging and STV and I pray one day we can meet face to face. Honestly, the friendships made via stamping have been such a blessing to me and I treasure each of you!

Blessings,

Enjoy the Attention

With a new month, I have some new stamp sets to share with you from Creative Clear Stamps... I made this card using Bunch A Numbers and the Sentiment Single Enjoy the Attention. I lined up the numbers (1-9) on a 2x4 acrylic block and stamped them using Memento Tuxedo Black several times to create a background. I stamped my sentiment, embossed it with Nesties and sponged over it with Taken with Teal. A very simple card to put together and this design makes it easy to create a lot of cards in a short amount of time! I do hope you have a wonderful day!
