I am thrilled to be a part of today's second day of hops over at the Simon Says Stamp Blog, celebrating Simon Says Stamp's two newest releases, Smitten and Sweetheart! These releases are full of some "love"ly stamps/dies/stencils/inks and other stamping goodies! I have used a new stamp/die/stencil set from the Sweetheart release, to make three cards...all done just a little bit differently from each other!
I used the new Friendship Leafy Cluster stamp/die/stencil set, the stamp and die for this first card. I stamped the image on watercolor paper, used watercolor paints for the leaves, layered the image, and added some of the new Rainbow Splash drops. I stamped two of the sentiments from the set and...done! Here's a close up...
The second one, I added the use of the stencil...
Okay...let me tell you...the stencil with this stamp is AMAZING, and AMAZING FUN!!! I had such a blast using the stencil with this stamped image!!! For the first one, I used Cabbage and Artichoke inks. Can I say it again....so much fun??!! I added a sentiment die, layered, and a Simon background stamp. Here's a close up...
The third one, I used the stencil...backwards...
Okay...I had SO much fun making my cards!! My fun was above, your fun is below!!
