It's finally time for the "Shannon's Sentiments" April release!!! . This month we're switching things up a bit from the releases we've done the past few months. This month we'll be releasing 7 large individual images along with 4 Add-On sets, 1 mini set, and 1 full set.
Today we're starting out featuring the Chaise Lounge with Umbrella and Potting Bench images along with the Summertime Add-On set and the Spring Branch mini set. The full sets with a blog hop will be starting at 6am EST on April 15th at the "Shannon's Sentiments" blog. We will also be hosting a chat at our CDAC group page at 8pm EST on the 15th as well.
The design team call is still open until the 1st. I hope you'll all apply!!!
We also have a guest designer challenge going on that you'll want to check out and participate in. The deadline to enter is the 18th, so hurry and link up your project.
The one thing I love about Shannon's Sentiments is the pairing of images with a saying/sentiment, which I have once again done on my card. First I combined 3 images to create my scene- chaise lunge with umbrella, sun, and saying using Paint.net I decided to paper piece my image, both the umbrella and cushion/pillow on chair are done this way. I then used my sponge dauber and CTMH juniper ink to ink edges and soften the area behind the image. Lots of layers and some more inking to make this wonderful card complete!
Check out what some of our other design team members have created using these images.
