Today I have been playing with another new stamp set called Sitting Here which will be available from my online shop when the catalogue launches on the 1st June. This is a fabulous set, especially if you like water colouring or colouring in with markers. I love the simplicity of the images and decided to keep the first 2 cards very simple.

I used a Crumb Cake cardstock panel and stamped the image in Versamark ink, having used my embossing buddy on the cardstock first. I then covered the Versamark ink with White Embossing Powder and set it with my heat gun. I loved the result, so classy looking. I felt it needed a pop of colour though and stamped the small square cushion using Watermelon Wonder ink onto Whisper White cardstock and fussy cut it out. I popped it up using a dimensional. I used the Watermelon Wonder marker to colour in the stripes on the seat cushion and stamped the sentiment using same colour inkpad.
I planned to add the Crumb Cake panel to a Crumb Cake card base but it just didn’t look right. I tried a couple of different coloured mats and settled on Early Espresso with just a tiny border showing. I popped up the whole panel using dimensionals.

Turning the card from portrait style to landscape gave it a different look. I embossed the Crumb Cake panel with white embossing powder in the same way and added the pot of flowers to the right-hand side. I used Rose Red, Crushed Curry, Wild Wasabi and Garden Green markers to colour in the flowers and the seat cushion. The sentiment is stamped in Versamark and embossed with the White Embossing powder. I mounted the stamped panel on a layer of Whisper White cardstock. I added the whole topper to the Crumb Cake card base. I was really happy with both the cards, hope you like them.
