Love and Sunshine...With an Ornate Pop!

 A very cool set of dies by Simon Says Stamp just came out with their new Friendly Frolic release, Ornate Background dies!!  I have loved having the Ornate Background stamp, but this takes that stamp to a whole new level.   I made a simply colored card to show you the pop-up effect of these new dies...

The three dies in the set all match three different flowers on the stamp.   I used the biggest and my favorite flower on the stamp to die cut, and after stamping, die cut the flower.  What is cool about these dies is that they don't totally cut the image...they only partially die cut the image.  I colored the flower with my Prismacolor markers, making it the sole colored flower on the card, and used pop up dots underneath for a definite lift.  I added a die cut and layered sentiment(i swiped the two yellow prismacolor markers on white cardstock to die cut from... so the die cut sentiment has a soft ombre feel:)!), as well as a stamped sentiment on cardstock.  Here's a close up...

Such fun...who'd have thought...a die for a background stamp...how cool is this??!!  Thanks for visiting me today!! Hugs!! Lisa
