Friendship & Love

Happy Monday everyone!  Today I have a sweet little friendship card for you using a couple of sets from the new release from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps.  First I made my background panels by doing some smooshing, is that even a word?  I put down some distress inks on to an acrylic block and misted with some water, next, I put a baggie on my hand and picked up the ink with it and smooshed it onto the mixed media paper.   After my paper dried I inked up the Hearts from Forever & Always and Filigree Hearts misted them with water and stamped.   I colored the girl from Girl Power 2 with copics and paper pieced her shirt with some of the background paper I made. 

This next card is just a quick and easy note card using In Stitches.  For this card I decided to paper piece the letters instead of coloring them in.  The designer paper is from The Paper Studios.  I was not going to put the little heart on the "O" but after I had everything glued to the card I noticed a little blotch of ink so instead of tearing the card apart I added a heart!  Make sure you check out all the new stamps sets this month and remember if you spend $75 you get the stamp of the month-Made New absolutely free and as always free shipping with a $75 order.  Happy Crafting!
