Simon Says Stamp - Sending Cheer Blog Hop - Day 2

Hi my friends, welcome to my stop on Day 2 of the Simon Says Stamp Blog Hop for the Sending Cheer release. I'm thrilled to be joining lots of talented friends and designers to share inspiration using products from this fabulous release and you can check out all the products in the release HERE.

This gift with purchase expires on 11th October at 11.59pm EDT or while supplies last.

I created a Thanksgiving card using the Autumn Cornucopia Wafer dies and sentiments from the Homespun Thanksgiving stamp set and co-ordinating dies, all from the release.

I inked Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Perfect Plaid background stamp with Honey and Nutmeg Pawsitively Saturated ink, spritzed with water, stamped on to a panel of Distress Watercolor card and added Nutmeg ink around the edges.

I die-cut the Autumn Cornucopia Wafer Dies from Ivory, Cream, Sunshine, Green Apple and Espresso cardstock, placed on Simon Says Stamp Black Stamp and Stencil Mat, coloured and added shading using Simon Says Stamp Detail Round Blending Brushes and assembled.

I arranged the die-cuts around the Cornucopia die, fixed in place with Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Perfect Glue and Thin 3D Foam Squares. I added Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Perfect Black Splatter, wound Brown/White Bakers Twine from my stash around the top of the panel and tied in a double bow.

I stamped the sentiments from the 4" x 6" Homespun Thanksgiving stamp set on to Espresso cardstock inked with Versamark ink, sprinkled with Simon Says Stamp Cream Embossing Powder, heat set and die-cut with the Homespun Thanksgiving co-ordinating dies. 

I matted the panel on to Espresso cardstock and fixed to a White card blank.
