I have made a couple cards using the beautiful new Simon Says Stamp Crocus Flower die set from their latest release, Lucky to Know You...
I used two shades of purple paint chips for the flowers and two shades of green for the leaves. I die cut one flower, then ran my tombow adhesive all over it, and adhered simply an outline die cut over the adhesived one. I put the die cut paint chip pieces into the empty spaces(that now already had adhesive in them) and added two layered outlines over the paint chip layer. I used the Simon A2 Thin Frame die for the flower to sit on/in and added a sentiment from the new Just Because stamp set! Here's a close up...
The second one, I used both of the flowers in the die set, and another sentiment stamp from the Just Because stamp set...
Up front, I have to say, the purple of the card much more resembles the color of the flowers IRL...has anyone ever had that happen? I used three shades of purple on the crocus on the left....love the difference in the design of these two...makes for differences in shading and coloring. I added a purple stamped Simon Background stamp and the sentiment was gold embossed. Here's a close up...
Crocus are such pretty flowers...and these two dies make really beautiful crocus!!
Thanks for visiting me today!!
Hugs!! Lisa

Beautiful flowers!
ReplyDeleteI love your cards! so clean and pretty. Can I ask what the background cardstock is on the striped background, it looks like you have scored it yourself but there is a sort of finer line detail too? thanks Shirley
