Mixing and Matching



Hi sweet friends! I'm popping in today to share a fun card with you. This one's a mish mash of several different Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps sets. I love to mix & match, and SNSS stamps all work so beautifully together.  For this card I started with the gorgeous Flower Bunch Background. I stamped it in black, then colored really loosely with alcohol markers. I cut off just one section of my colored panel to use, then fussy cut one of the flowers from the other section of the background to add to my collage of elements around the sentiment panel.

The sentiment and stemmed floral are from the fabulous God is Good set and the branch is from the new God is Love set, both illustrated by Deeds. Isn't she just knocking it out of the park with her new sets?  I cut these images with a 0.4" border with a  Scan 'n Cut machine. The sentiment is framed using a stamp from the Decorative Frames stamp set, and then cut with the coordinating dies

I really love the contrasting look of pairing stripes with floral images. Something about those straight lines next to all the curvy floral goodness make me happy! So I pulled out the new Grunge Grid Stencil.  and lightly blended with pink and soft aqua dye inks for a fun lavendar-ish blend. I finished by layering everything onto an A2 size card base and adding a bit of sparkle with a Wink of Stella glitter pen.

So, how about you? Do you love to mix up your stamp sets, or do you usually stamp with just a single set? I'd love to know in the comments.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Beautiful card. Love how you stamped the background panel and used part of it for your card and fussy cut the pretty flower from the other section. Love the sentiment.
