SNEAK PEEK - Paisley Petals

Isn't this the most gorgeous Designer Series Paper? It's the new DSP Paisley Petals from the upcoming Summer Mini. I took one sheet and cut out the image to use as the art piece and focal point for my card.  The background was spritzed with the Not Quite Navy Stampin Write Marker.  A 2 3/4" circle was masked off and sponged with Not Quite Navy. Layers are Not Quite Navy and Whisper White, then was punched with the Scallop Trim Border punch.  I added pearls to finish off the card.   If you'd like to be among the first tovhave this gorgeous paper, please email me at sherrysinknstamps@yahoo.com, I'd love to be your Demonstrator.

Hand Stamped Sentiments -Blooming Blossoms - Challenge #60

I hope each of you that take time to visit my blog this week will join me at the Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge Blog for this week's Theme Challenge #60 Blooming Blossoms.  I dusted off a stamp set that I hadn't used in a very long time, the Friends 24-7 set.  It has some great stamps in it besides the stem of flowers....a flourish, 3 sentiments, and  a bird (which I didn't use.).  I chose White Textured CS for the Fancy Favor Box and the Butterfly Bookmark (Sizzix Beatuiful Butterflies Die).  The card is embossed with the Elegant Lines folder.  A piece of the new Paisley Petals is SNEAKING A PEEK from behind the art piece.  Both pieces have 2 edges punched with the Scallop Trim Corner Punch.  Everything is sponged in Not Quite Navy and colored with Stampin' Write Markers.  Inspiration for the card came from a gorgeous Birthday card I received from Debbie Pike.
