There's a party going on today over at the Simon Says Stamp Blog and all over blogland today! The party is the start of Simon Says Stamp's celebration of all things stamping throughout the month of September...STAMPtember®!!
There is a HUGE STAMPtember® release over at the Simon Says Stamp website, and there will be month long events over at their BLOG, and small releases throughout the month...SUCH...GREAT...FUN!!! The list of all those participating in today's party can be found over at the Simon Blog...there will be LOTS of inspiration from the new release, for sure!!!
I have made a couple cards using the pretty and sweet stamp/die set, Healing Hugs...this set makes the most lovely and sweet get well cards ever!!...
I stamped and die cut the flowers. I then added the stamped sentiment. I colored with my Prismacolor markers, and used Tonic drops to give some shine to the flower centers. I couldn't find paper to match the flowers, so I used my marker to color the cardstock. It had a streaked look, and I LOVED it, a "washed" look, so I kept it!! I added some recycled striped paper at the ends. Here's a close up...
The second, much like the first, except I turned the wreath of flowers, as well as the card...
I also used two of the hearts from the die set, die cut and layered. I swiped my marker again, to give it "washed" look for the background. Here's a close up...
I LOVE this set...these cards make me happy...I just LOVE the flowers, the wordings, and font of the sentiments...they come together sooooo sweetly and are so pretty!!
Thanks for visiting me today!!
Hugs!! Lisa
