SNSS: Prim Blessings

Good morning!

The designers from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps are showcasing Diane Zechman's newest stamp set called Prim Blessings today.  I just adore this new set from Diane and had so much playing with it!  It's a new favorite in my stamp collection for sure!

For my first card, I wanted to pair the two bird image with the 'happily ever after' sentiment... so cute!  I paper pieced the birds and then colored their tummies just a bit for shading with a couple of Copic markers.  I stamped them on a frame die cut from the new Bookmark & More die collection.

I stamped the Music Background on kraft paper with white ink, but the stamp had some blue ink residue on it, so it ended up with a two toned look that I actually liked.  My camera however did not card for it and I had a hard time getting a true color photo as you can see from my close up.  The other goof on my card is that my thread tension went all wonky one one side of my card, so I just pulled out the thread and ended up just leaving the pierced holes empty on both sides of the card.  

It was actually kind of funny all the little flubs I had with this card because the sentiment is about 'living happily ever after' and to all you married friends out there, you know as well as I do that there is no such thing as a fairy tale ending.  But, in all the 'glitches' in life, when you marry your best friend it's good - not easy, but good.  ;)

My next card is one of my favorites I made from this release because this sheep image is just too cute.  My mom collects sheep (my maiden name is "Ewers" after all!) so this one will probably be going to her.  I stamped the ewe onto a Decorative Plaque die cut, which was stamped with the coordinating image from the new Decorative Frame stamp set.  The little tag is from Mini Tags die collection.
