Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps January 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 Jessica's blog, you're doing just fine.Today I used Together Silhouettes, which is my contribution to this month's release - this is a fun and special set to me for a lot of reasons, but mostly because the umbrella image was created using a photo of my kiddos! Stamping silhouette images doesn't require coloring, but I did color over my stamped image with a black art pen because I didn't get a good impression the first time. I used Quickutz and SNSS dies on my layout. The seam binding started white, and I used Touch Twin Markers to color it (heh... and my hand...) to match my card. You can find a tutorial for that technique HERE. My cardstock is from Memory Box. These are the Touch Twin Markers that I used to dye the ribbon, and a closer look at the bow. I use a homemade tool to tie my bows, slightly larger than the small Bow-Easy.After you leave a comment here you'll be hopping on to Giovana's blog! We are soooooooo excited to welcome her to the design team - make sure to leave her some extra love!! (***I do have my comment moderation turned on... don't panic if your comment doesn't show up right away!!)
