A bit of a SISTERLY news . . .

G-Morning y'all!

I'm so, so excited and have been waiting a very long time for this week to arrive.  A sweet SISTER asked me to help her introduce the 2nd release of the Sister Stamps collection.  Yes, Jenny, of Crazy For Papercrafting and co-owner of Sister Stamps, that is!  Jenny has been posting the 4 adorable images over at the Sister Stamps blog in the past few weeks.  Here are the 4 new images:



I have the privilege of sharing my projects with you starting today until its release on September 1st.  And look . . . have you noticed NOBU?  He's the boy that you all have been asking for!  :)

On to my card.  I've created a Recessed Window Card using Miyono.  Thanks Brenda for the idea!  :)  Within the recessed window, I sponged clouds with Distress Ink and made a grassy hill for Miyono with leftover scrap paper.  The bamboo was stamped and cut with a coordinating die from PTI called Peaceful Garden.


Here's a close-up and a side view.  See the depth of the recessed window?  I also used Pop Dots to add dimension to the bamboo and Miyono.


Another close-up . . . I colored Miyono with copics.


This is the inside of the card.  I distressed the circle with Distress Ink Tumble Glass and stamped this Japanese writing stamp with Tumble Glass as well.  The sentiment comes from another PTI set called Gratitude Journal.


Don't ya just luv this image of Miyono?  She will be released on September 1st along with the other 3 images!  Don't forget to check out the Sister Stamps blog for places to purchase these wonderful stamps.

Come back tomorrow . . . I have another project to share with you!  :)  Thanks for stopping by today!
