Mum Bouquet ...

Good morning. Ruza here sharing a Center Step card for this weeks Sweet Stamps Challenge #139 ~ Anything Goes/Center Step Cards. I'm not that good when it comes to making Center Step Cards, so today's project was a struggle for me. Hope you like it!

Today's card features the beautiful Mum Bouquet & Corner Duo (1006). Mums were my mothers favorite flowers so I had to choose this beautiful set. I'm saving the Corners for another project. 

Once the Mums were colored with my Copic Markers I used Chalk Pencils to shade the background. I created the Center Step Card with Bazzill Haley. It was a perfect match for the Mums. Add in the decorative die on the sides with some butterflies, and then the sentiment Thinking of You Curly (909C) was stamped on the distressed bottom strip.

Autumn Blooms ...

Good morning. Ruza here sharing a Fall inspired card for this weeks Sweet Stamps Challenge #138 ~ Fall. I can honestly say that I'm not a fan of Fall, but I do love the flowers that bloom at this time of the year.

I love all types of flowers so I picked out the Autumn Blooms ATC (1006G) for this weeks project. These beautiful flowers were colored with my Copic Markers, and Distress Inks were used for the grass and sky. 

Here's a closer look of the Autumn Blooms ...

Copic Markers: YR12, YR16, YR18, E09, YG03, G14, G07

Thinking of You ...

Good morning. My name is Ruza, and I am honored to be this Months Guest Designer for Sweet Stamps!

I'm a former Administrative Assistant turned stay-at-home mom to a very special young lady. I've been crafting in one form or another since I was a child, so when I became a SAHM I turned to crafting to stay busy. Staying busy making cards, altering items, and just having fun with paper is an amazing hobby that I really love. I'm very grateful that my family supports the work I am doing.

This weeks Sweet Stamps Challenge #137 is all about Borders.

I designed a Clean & Simple card to showcase the Beautiful Victorian Rose Border (7018) stamp and Thinking of You Curly (909) stamp. The roses were colored with Copic Markers, and layered onto the Crimson Weave cardstock from AC.
