Simon Says - Hello Friend

Hello my friends, I'm back to share another card using the Floral Bunches Embossing Folder and Swiss Dots 6" x 8" stamp set from Simon Says Stamp Moments In Time release. You can check out all the fabulous products included in the release HERE.

I created a card using the blackout technique with the Floral Bunches Embossing Floral and used the Swiss Dots 6" x 8" stamp set to add the sentiment and faux texture on the background.

I trimmed Distress Watercolor card to 4" x 5.1/4" and embossed using the Floral Bunches Embossing Folder so that the debossing was on the smooth side of the card. I coloured the flowers and leaves using Simon Says Stamp Peachy, Mandarin, Cabbage and Artichoke Pawsitively Saturated Mini Ink Cubes and Detail Round Blending Brushes and no need to worry about straying outside the lines.

I dragged a Hickory Smoke Distress Archival Ink pad over the panel and repeated with Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink Pad to add some shaded areas.

I inked the Swiss Dots stamp set with Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink and holding the stamp in my hands, pressed on to the panel.

I die-cut a circle from Distress Watercolor card using Tim Holtz/Sizzix Stacked Tiles Circles, coloured with Peachy Pawsitively Saturated Ink and stamped with the sentiment from the Swiss Dots 6" x 8" stamp set inked with Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink. I added dots around the edge of the circle using a Memento Black Dual Marker, fixed to the panel with Simon Says Thin Foam Squares and added a double white twine bow. To finish I fixed the panel to an A2 top folding white card blank.

Have fun with whatever you are creating.

Hugs Kath xxx
