Sarah Kay Sunday

Hey, I like how that sounds! ... Sarah Kay Sunday. Maybe I'll do that again next week. What do you think?

I'm supposed to be tackling laundry and putting all the Christmas gifts away...BUT these stamps were just calling my name! Well, when I finish writing this post, I WILL be getting right back to the housework. My house is so neglected and there are gift boxes EVERYwhere!

Anyway, the image on this first card is called First Kiss and it's part of the new Sarah Kay Collection II....it's one of my VERY favorites! It's stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black on Neenah 80 lb Solar White CS and colored with the Copics noted in the supply list below. The dark brown mat panel behind the main image is up on Dimensionals. The flowers are also up on Dimensionals. I stamped some hearts from the SU Short & Sweet set on the inside of the card (pictured below) in Regal Rose ink. I also added some Pink Stickles to the girl's hat (center seam and ribbon at the top) and to her hair bow. The layout is Jen del Muro's SFYTT sketch.

The First Kiss stamp, Urban Prairie DP, Suede Brown Dark Prism CS, Brown/Pink May Arts Ribbon, Pink Stickles, and Kaiser Pearls are ALL available at Stamper's Dream!...one stop shopping!

My super talented and sweet friend Cindy (one happy stamper) stamped me some of these My Sweet Lili images and I couldn't wait to color her up. Thanks so much, Cindy!!

The image is stamped with Black StazOn ink on SU Watercolor paper and then watercolored with reinkers. I made a boo-boo on how I colored the bear's dress and bloomers (didn't like the colors I chose) so I colored those pieces again on a second image with some Copic markers, cut them out, and paper pieced them onto the watercolored panel...problem solved! Paper piecing is great for that! LOL!

The Celery mat behind the main image is up on Dimensionals. The urban prairie DP strip and main panels are faux stitched with my paper piercing tool, the SU mat pack, and a Chocolate Chip marker. The large flower is from the SU Pretties kit and I dyed it with Cranberry Crisp ink. The sentiment is sponged with Regal Rose ink and the flag end was done with a square punch on an angle. I added some white gel pen along the bottom of her dress and the buttons on her back. The layout is Taylor's TECC48 Sketch.

My Sweet Lili and the Urban Prarie DP are both available at Stamper's Dream.
