Rainbow Bridge Cards

This morning I wanted to take a few minutes and share a set of cards created with a stamp set that I am just in love with:  The Rainbow Bride Stamp Set!

This set is a "must" have for both the pet lover, and card maker, and is available in two variations: as a stand alone stamp set as well as a stamp with Thin Cut combination.  It is certainly a do-able stamp set for fussy cutting if you will, but having that option for the Thin Cuts just makes creating so much faster and easier - I particularly love how the cat and dog cut out so seamlessly!  And that paw print heart is certain to leave paw prints on your heart.

These are the two cards that I created using the Rainbow Bridge set.  The paper in the dog card is from the December Mix In Paper collection which is now retired and you might notice that the paper that the dog is cut and stamped from looks new?  That is because it is!!  This is from the new Wood Grain paper pack that premiers on September 1st!  I love this new paper and how it partnered with the stamp/thin cut for the dog...the wood grain makes it look like the dog's fur.  Love, love, love it!

You will note that the clouds are all layered and stacked at random heights.  These are almost all adhered flat at the bottom of the clouds and then have a Thin Foam Tape supporting the tops of the clouds - this adds so much dimension to the clouds!  Such a different feel verses elevating the entire cloud.  

A few more elements worth drawing your attention to: my favorite element, although it doesn't photograph well, is the halo over the dog.  This was cut with the Holographic Dreamy Paper and when it catches the light it truly looks like a halo!  I also adore the angel wings on the kitty.  This was attached like we do with butterfly wings - the foam tape is only supporting the center of the wings and then the two sides are gently folded forward.  They are also brushed with the Clear Shimmer Brush to add that "heavenly" translucent feel. The same Clear Shimmer Brush was also brushed along some of the inside curvatures of the clouds to add that must have shimmer!

These two cards are available as a pre-cut and pre-stamped kit in my In All Sassiness Designs shop. The kit includes 2 of each design You can see them here at:  www.inallsassiness.com.
