SCS Free 4 All and Inspiration

Here are a couple of cards I created for challenges at Splitcoaststampers this week.

This first one was for the Free 4 All Challenge which required heat embossing. I embossed the word Easter in the sentiment and popped it up on dimensionals. This sentiment is from Bold Holiday Greetings which was released by Kitchen Sink Stamps just this past Monday. Other KSS sets used are All Year Grapevine Wreath and Hey, Chick!

This second card was inspired by art painted on birds feathers found on Design Stack. It features Minnesota Loon which is no longer available at KSS. I stamped the water using Cabin by the Lake and the clouds were created using the SVG cut file Cloudy Skies and white acrylic paint. The feather was cut using Cricut Design Space and the Aspin Tree Stencil is from The Crafters Workshop.

Thanks for visiting today!!

She has asked the CCEE Stampers to create a card featuring an apron as the focal point OR any TIED element like ribbons, bow, twine or ropes.

I have gone with a bow. This delightful gingham bow is actually a sneak peek at an image which is part of a set being released on Monday by Kitchen Sink Stamps. I was absolutely tickled pick by how cute it stamps! The sentiment is from All Year Grapevine Wreath, also by Kitchen Sink Stamps.

The designer paper is from the Paper Studio.
