Life Sucks Without You

by Sara Sherlock on Mar 02 2021
Hello!  It's Sara, from Much Love, Sara.  I'm here to share this super soft and pretty Get Well card with you today, using one of the new stencils and stamp sets from the February release, along with a couple of previously released items.   For today's card, I began by inking the background of the card front. I used Tattered Rose Distress Oxide Ink, and one of my Life Changing Blender Brushes, through the Center Flower 6x6 Stencil, onto white card stock.  I slightly offset the stencil when I inked it, and inked heavier in the center of the stencil, blending outward.     Then, I white heat embossed the sentiments from the Life Sucks Without You Stamp Set, onto a strip of gray card stock.  I die cut multiple sets of leaves from Vellum, and Mirror Silver card stock, using the Maple Leaves Dies.  I layered the pieces together, and matted the card front with more gray card stock.  The card front was attached to a white card base, and finished off with a scattering of my favorite Gin & Tonic Sequins.   Have a fantastic Tuesday! Much Love,                                                  Sara

CAS Maple Leaves with Judy

The October Picket Fence Studios release is here and it's one of my favorites! Have you had a chance to check it out? Today I am sharing a trio of cards made with the new Maple Leaves Dies. All of my cards today are using the same color scheme and style - clean and simple, along with inchies! You can find the entire release HERE. Happy Shopping! All of the leaves were made with a "brayer cleaning sheet" from my Gel Press printmaking days awhile back. I love how they turned out. I like the touch of pink with the fall orange, red, and gold. First up is a card using the larger of the dies, and a sentiment from Dad's Day. My second card uses the smaller of the Maple Leaves Die, and a sentiment from Weathering the Storm Together.  Here is the brayer sheet as I started cutting: And finally, the third of the trio uses the new Thank You for Being You stamp set, as well as the larger die. There are two other new leaf dies as well, that are just as fabulous, so be sure to check them out too!
