Butterfly for Korin

Today's Featured Stamper at Splitcoaststampers is Korin, owner and talented stamp designer and card maker from Sweet and Sassy Stamps - I based my card on a beautiful CAS card Korin had done.  I embossed the background at the top and the bottom, leaving a blank space for stamping the sentiment which comes from Sweet and Sassy's Everyday Miracles set.  The butterfly is cut and embossed and glittered.  After that it was just a matter of arranging pearls and flourishes. 

Other supplies include:

Craft Concepts embossing folder

Versafine Black Onyx ink

Stampin Up's Dazzling Diamonds

Autumn Leaves

I'm not sure if I want summer to last longer or I'm looking forward to fall, but either way, it's coming, and here's one of my first autumn cards using Sweet and Sassy Stamps newly released Autumn Leaves!  They're easy to color and cut out, and I've popped them up on a sponged rectangle with the sentiment.  This sentiment could be used for almost any occasion, and the set includes one more celebrating the beauty of autumn.

Other supplies include:

Spellbinders Nestabilities Rectangles, Scalloped Rectangles

Twine

Buttons

Copics

Versamagic Sea Breeze ink

Memento Rich Cocoa

Praying for You

By far, "praying for you" cards are the ones I'm asked to make most often - lets hope that means that a lot of prayer is happening!!  I love the sentiments from Verve's Circular Sayings as they fit so well into a circle or oval with room for gems or brads.  I popped up the lily on embossed panels using a layout from today's sketch challenge at Splitcoaststampers.  The lily petals are curled outwards for dimension though it's hard to tell in the photo. 

Others supplies include:

SU Basic Black, Whisper White

Ribbon

Brads

Spellbinders Ovals

Copics

Blushing Blossoms

This is for two challenges over at Splitcoaststampers today, one being the sketch for Sweet and Sassy Stamps Release Party and the other being today's color challenge.  Sweet and Sassy Stamps not only celebrated their autumn releases but also becoming a member company with Splitcoaststampers!

I masked these flowers and sponged around them with ink, then colored the flowers with copics - alas, my R20 was dry, so I couldn't do much shading on them, time to order an ink refill, can't do without R20 for shading reds anyway!

Other supplies include:

Blessing Blossom

Normally I give 12 x 12 sheets of dp with very large patterns to someone who does scrapbooking but I decided to let the large glittery flowers on this K& Co Sweet Nectar dp be the focal point here.  I used a sentiment from Sweet and Sassy Stamps Your Friendship set and lightly brushed SU's Melon Mambo ink over their corduroy buttons for embellishments.  It's a gray overcast day here, so the bright yellow may be all the sunshine I'm going to get today!
