Sweet Summer Blooms with Leah Tees

Hello everyone!  Winter is unfortunately getting very close up here in the north, and I am clinging to all things summer for as long as I possible can!

And with that, I have created a card using the Summer Blooms rubber stamp.  I have heat embossed with Detail White embossing powder and water-colored this image using the Shades Ink Cube dye ink in Valentine, Royal, and Envy, and included die cuts using the Fancy Leaf die.

I love to create with this medium as the results are so organic and sometimes create a very realistic looking finished product :)

If you would like more information about how I created this card, please visit my blog at Ode to Paper :)

You can find all of these products available in the online shop at Sweet Stamps :)

Stencil Sneak Peek...

Hello!!!  Lisa here today and I thought I would start off this Friday morning with a little sneaky peek at a new stencil that will be released this upcoming Monday!!!! (June 15th!)

This card is another one that you can whip up quickly and make multiples of by changing colors/sentiment. I started by laying my stencil on a strip of cardstock and went over it with distress ink and my blender tool.  I then trimmed it and adhered it to my cardbase.  On a separate cardstock I stamped the floral image and colored it in with colored pencils before I fussy cut it.  I then popped it up with some foam adhesive.  Finally I stamped my sentiment and added my rhinestones.

Make sure you link all of your crafty projects up to our newest challenge: Anything Goes.... seriously ANYTHING!!!!  Link up with a SweetStamps.com and you get a second entry woot woot!

Happy Crafting!
