SNSS April release hop


Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps is celebrating their new stamp release today with a fun blog hop, and I have some designs in the mix! So excited to finally share them with you here. If you just happened on the blog hop because you're a regular reader of my blog, and you'd like to view the entire hop, you can start back at the Sweet 'n Sassy Blog - you'll find a full list of participants there, and all the details you need. If you're already hopping and you arrived here from DJ's blog, you're doing just fine.The set I designed for this month is called Graceful Lily - the main image is this vintage lily collage, and all the verses and sentiments are about God's grace. There are sentiments for every occasion, but all of them are meant to encourage believers to hold to the grace that is ours in the Lord.
I stamped the image in brown ink and painted it using Shinh
an watercolors - the colors are so vibrant!The oval is pretty close to the dimension of Spellbinders oval dies - here's a tutorial for cutting 'outside the die'. I trimmed around the curve of each flower and the larger leaf, and embossed from the back of the panel to add some dimension.Here's a peek at the inside - the patterned panel is a piece of embellishment packaging... the arched panel on the card front is recycled packaging too (it was from a digital thermometer, but it was on my stamping desk, and the shape appealed to me...).

After you leave a comment here you'll be hopping on to Kim Singdahlsen's blog! Hope you are enjoying the hop!
