Simon Says - Spritz and Splatter

Hi Everyone...welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog. Thank you for joining us for last week's challenge and we hope you can join us this week too because

and the theme for this week is...

SPRITZ AND SPLATTER

I created a gift box, card and tag inspired by Simon Says Create Together - Sending Love YouTube Class. I used tim Holtz/Ranger Picked Raspberry Distress Spray Stain and Distress Spritz to create spritz and splatter backgrounds, die-cut and decorated with Simon Says Sweethearts Box, Postage Stamp Edge Frames and Love Letter stamp set and dies.

You can watch the Create Together - Sending Love Virtual Class on Simon Says YouTube Channel HERE. The limited edition kit for the class has sold out but the products included in the kit can be purchased individually from the links below.

I die-cut the gift box from Neenah White 80lb card using Simon Says Sweethearts Box die.

I inked the heart images from Simon Says Love Letter stamp set with Picked Raspberry and Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink and stamped randomly over the box.

I flicked splatters of Picked Raspberry Distress Spritz from the nozzle on to the background and dried.

I stamped Hugs and the envelope image from the Love Letter stamp set, inked with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink on to a scrap of Neenah White 80lb card coloured with Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink. I stamped the postage strip inked with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink and the large heart with Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink and die-cut using the Love Letter dies. I folded the box along the score lines, assembled, added the conversation hearts and closed using a die-cut heart. To finish I added XO's on each side of the box, die-cut from Simon Says Black cardstock using the Sweethearts Box die 

I coloured a sheet of Distress Watercolor card with Picked Raspberry Spray Stain and Distress Spritz and die-cut using Simon Says Postage Stamp Edge Frame dies.

I matted the Postage Stamp Edge Frame panel on to an A2 white card blank covered with black cardstock, added the images from Simon Says Love Letter die-cut using the matching Love Letter dies and splatters of Black Soot Distress Paint.

I popped the die-cuts hearts up with Simon Says 3D foam Squares to create dimension and added Ranger Glossy Accents.

I fixed Black and White Twine around the spine of the card and finished off with a bow.

I stamped the postage strip, heart and stamp inked with Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink on to the Postage Stamp Edge Frame die-cut and the heart and cancellation mark inked with Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink. I stamped the envelop and sentiment inked with Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink and the heart inked with Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide and coloured parts of the envelope using a Simon Says Round Detail Blending Brush.

I die-cut the envelope, fixed to the panel and added splatters of Picked Raspberry Distress Spritz and Black Soot Distress Paint.

I added XO's die cut from black cardstock using the Sweethearts Box die, matted the panel on to black cardstock and trimmed to leave a small border. I punched a hole in the top of the tag and threaded with black and white twine.
