dkdesigns new release - His Child!

Today the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps team is featuring my newest set, His Child! I love the sweet images in this set, and the sentiments - they are so full of truth! I'm focusing on the sentiments today with my cards.



My first card features a mixed media background that I made using some pieced strips of scrap paper, a piece of mesh drywall tape, and some white acrylic paint.


I used a cardstock diecut as a stencil, applying white acrylic paint through the openings with my finger.

With the banner sentiment, I made a set of cards using the Poppy Background stamp and more paper scraps.


I ran each completed flower through my Big Shot with a Spellbinders embossing folder - I love that quilted look! I free cut the banners along the curve.

Thanks for stopping by!

  1. Oh Dina, I ADORE the His Child set! And I think I'll get one for my sister, too, who is a teacher of autistic children.....her birthday is coming up. You've really captured the magic of childhood and the sentiments are wonderful as well. Well done!

  9. Gorgeous set you have created. I LOVE the sentiment you focused on today. It is such a good reminder that our happiness is found in Christ not in outside factors. Love the card too. And such a great idea to use the drywall tape. I bet my husband has some lying around, I might have to go looking. ; )

  27. Both these cards are really outstanding. But, you always do outstanding work. I wish there was a video showing the steps of the scraps you used, the mesh drywall tape and the acrylic paint. I love this. Love how you did the poppies on the 2nd card. I love it when you girls show us how to use scraps. Mine are "coming out my ears".
