Day 1 of OCL Sneak Peek

Welcome to Day one of Blog Hop Sneak Peeks for Our Craft Lounge! They are releasing 13 wonderful sets and I am happy to be sneaking Say it with Flowers today. Please see The Lounge for pictures of the full sets and also for a list of the designers that are also sneaking peeks (which I have also posted below). Also there will be blog candy on Friday to which I have posted deets about below.

Who doesn’t love sentiments? I can’t get enough of them and this set is just loaded with them. I think I used 5 different sayings to make up the following cards.

I used Sketch Challenge 278 for my layout and design paper Abbey' Road for my squares. Add faux stitching with Copic Multiliner. Images was cut out of the box which I used a Nestie to cut. Flowers were colored with copics. I added Crafty Sparkles to the middle of the flowers with diamond glaze. Entire image is on Helmar Zapdots. Sentiment is made up of two sayings while the flowers are a sneak from another set called Fabulous Flowers. (see The Lounge for full picture of that set) 



I decided to keep this next card simple but elegant by using only black & white. I used paper from La Crème matstack and layered it onto black. I cut the sentiment twice with two different sizes of nesties and then built them up using Helmar Zapdots. I left the flowers black & white to help add to the contrast. The sentiment is actually three different sayings from the say put together as one. The flowers are also with the set.

All sets will be available through online retailers and brick & mortar retailers as of April 30th.
