Sending Big Hugs

Happy Friday my friends, I'm sharing a card made with products from Simon Says Stamp To Love release using the Falling In Love Stencil, Circle Sentiments stamp set and Exotic Blooms Wafer Dies. You can check out all the products from the release HERE.

I trimmed Distress Watercolor card to 4" x 5.1/4", placed on my Simon Says Pawsitively Perfect Craft Tacky Mat, along with the Falling In Love Stencil and ink blended using Tim Holtz Picked Raspberry and Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxides and mini round blending tools.

With the stencil still in place, I inked the sentiment stamp from Simon Says Circle Sentiments with Versafine Onyx Black ink and stamped through the stencil repeatedly to create some interest on the background.

I removed the stencil and inked around the edges and lightly over the whole panel with Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide ink.

I used the two hearts from Simon Says Lace Heart to create a frame, die-cut from Distress Watercolor card.

I die-cut Simon Says Exotic Blooms from Distress Watercolor card and coloured with Picked Raspberry/Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide inks and Simon Says Cabbage and Artichoke Pawsitively Saturated Mini Ink Cubes using Simon Says Round Detail Blending Brushes.

I stamped the same sentiment I used on the background on to a scrap of Distress Black HeavyStock, inked with Versamark ink, sprinkled with White Detail Embossing Powder, heat set and trimmed around the edges with my trusty Tim Holtz Mini Recoil Snips.

I fixed the Lace Heart Frame in place with Distress Collage Medium and inked through the apertures around the frame with a black marker to make it stand out on the background. I added the Exotic Blooms popped up on 3D foam squares, trimmed the sentiment to fit and also attached with 3D foam squares.

I matted the panel on to Distress Black HeavyStock trimmed 1/8" larger and fixed to an A2 white card blank. To finish I added a bow using Lawn Fawn White Hemp Twine.

Have a great weekend whatever you have planned and good luck, if like me, you are still busy with the last minute Christmas shopping and prep.
