Simon Says - Happy Camper release

Hello my friends, Simon Says Stamp have just launched their latest release - Happy Camper. As usual there are lots of fabulous products in the release to inspire your creativity and you can check them all out HERE.

I created a card using the Simon Says Stamp Mid-Century Elemental Plate along with the Big Botanicals stamp set and EZ Strips Everyday stamps and EZ Strips Rectangles die from a previous release. I was inspired by the cover photo on the die packaging to have fun with a little bit of stamping and dimensional paper piecing.

I began by trimming Distress Watercolor card to create 3 - A2 panels, the same size as the Mid-Century Elemental die and coloured 2 of the panels using Worn Lipstick/Wild Honey and Bundled Sage/Peeled Paint Distress Oxide inks.

I stamped the images from Big Botanicals, inked with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink, on to all 3 panels using my Stamp Platform to ensure they were all stamped in the same place on each panel.

I covered the back of each panel with Sizzix Adhesive Sheets and die-cut using the Mid-Century Elemental Plate. I fixed the white panel on to a panel of Distress Watercolor card and started fixing the coloured pieces into their matching negative spaces.

Once I had completed most of the paper piecing, I fixed the remaining pieces in place using Simon Says Small Thin Foam Squares to create random dimension.

I couldn't resist adding a little bit of splatter using the new Pawsitively Perfect White Splatter which can be used straight from the jar, no need to decant on to your glass mat and spritz with water and no clean up.

I matted the panel on to a white card blank covered with Simon Says Slate cardstock. I stamped the sentiments from Simon Says Stamp EZ Strips Everyday 4" x 6" stamp set on to a scrap of Slate cardstock, inked with Versamark ink, sprinkled with White Embossing Powder, heat set, die-cut using the co-ordinating EZ Strips Rectangles die and fixed to the panel with Simon Says Thin Foam Squares.

I'll be back later today to share another card made with products from the release. In the meantime, have fun with whatever you're making.
