You Light Up My Life! A Sweet N Sassy "Sweet Peak"

I can finally share some fun news with you all - a few months ago Korin Sutherland, owner/designer of Sweet N Sassy stamps invited me to join her DT for 3 months starting in May!  I just love her sweet images as well as the many Faith based sets she has.

So here is my first project - a "sweet peak" of a set being released on May 1 - called Shining Light.  I've used two of the stamps in this set for my card today - the lovely light house and one of the many sentiments.

I used the colors from today's color challenge over on Split Coast which I just happened to be hosting this week!!   The colors are Certainly Celery, Baja Breeze and Bashful Blue. Just click on the image to see it larger.

My sketch is from the Get Sketchy Challenge.

First I stamped the lighthouse image than cut it out with a Petite Oval Nestability.  I sponged the 3 challenge colors over the image adding a little Scattered Straw around the light.  Then I removed the panel from the die.  I embossed the green panel with text, sponged and distressed the edges, layered that to a blue sponged panel and then adhered it all to the white card.  I punched the heart from a white scrap, stamped the sentiment on it, sponged the edges and added a few gems.  I adhered it over the twill with foam tape.

This would make a great 'guy' card don't you think?

You'll find more info and pics of this lovely new set over at the Sweet N Sassy blog.  It will be available for purchase on May 1!
