Hand Stamped Sentiments Mother's Day Challenge

I just love how this card came out.  SHHHHHHH! Don't tell my Mom, it's for her.  It's a surprise!  I hope she's not peeking!  The inspiration for this card came from Judy Marshall.  Thanks Judy, your work is awesome.  As you can see I used lots of Old Olive and Certainly Celery for my greens.  For the flowers (made with the butterfly punch)  I used Melon Mambo, Pretty in Pink and Pink Pirouette. The Sentiment is from the new stamp setxxxxx. It is framed with a stamp from the Four Frames set.  Isn't it beautiful....one of my favorites!  It was colored with Stampin' Write Markers and sponged lightly around the edge with Melon Mambo. The background was stamped with the flourish from the Elements of Style stamp set onto Shimmer paper.  Although you can't see the shimmer in this picture....in real life....it's stunning.  The Shimmer paper gave the background just the touch it needed to make this a very special card.  I hope everyone will take time to visit Hand Stamped Sentiments this week and join us in the Mother's day Challenge.

Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge #62 - Pink-a-licious

I hope each of you will join me for the Pink-a-licious Challenge at Hand Stamps Sentiments this week. You can use any color of pink to create a card, scrapbook page or 3-D gift item.  For my project I created a fun fold window card. I used the Sizzix lattice die for the front panels and enbellished with pearl jewels.  Inside the card is stamped with the Baroque Motif flourish in multiple shades of pink and embellished with flowers from the Punch Potpourri Hostess set, stamped in Rose Red and punched with the Boho Blossom punch.  I spritzed the entire card in Melon Mambo to give added interest.  The Sentiment is from the Clearly for You stamp set. The polka dotted frame is from the Four Frames Stamp Set....a Sneak Peek from the upcoming 2011-2012 Idea Book and Catalog. If I can assist you with your order for any of the supplies I used on this card...please email me at sherrysinknstamps@yahoo.com.

SNEAK PEEK - FOUR FRAMES meets Elements of Style and Frost Shimmer Paint

This is by far one of my favorite stamp sets, Elements of Style and one of my favorite techniques using Frost Shimmer Paint.  It is really hard to capture the beauty of the Shimmer Paint, so you will just have to take my word for it that it is just G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S!!!!!  I used Night of Navy to a\sponge around the inside of the Sizzix 3.5" circle, then leaving the mask in place I stamped the Elements of Style Rose and colored it with my Stampin' Write Markers (Pink Pirouette, Pretty in PInk, a touch of Melon Mambo, Bashful Blue, So Safforn, Old Olive and Pear Pizzazz.) The Hummingbird is colored with the Markers also. On this card you're getting a SNEAK PEEK of the Four Frames stamp set that will soon be available in the Summer Mini Catalog. If you want to be among the first to get the new Four Frames Stamp Set, please let me know.  I would love to be your Demonstrator, so emal me at sherrysinknstamps@yahoo.com.
