Blooming Beauties

I have made a couple cards witrh a Simon Says Stamp embossing folder/stencil set, combined with new rectangle and sentiment dies, from their newest Always There release!...

This set is so pretty!  It has dies for the flowers, as well, but I chose to simply emboss, then brush color onto the embossed flowers.   The stencils also have some of the leaves, which I also think is so pretty!  I then brushed the darker purple ink onto a piece of cardstock, and then die cut the sentiment from it, so it matched the color of the card.  I stamped a smaller sentiment with the same ink, then cut it out. Here's a close up...

The second card was one that I simply used the stencils, to make a much simpler look!...

I used the same colors as the first one, then added some colored enamel dots(I color them with a marker with the same color as the flowers).  I framed the flowers with a new rounded rectangle die from the new release, which I used two of the dies, taped together and then when die cut, I layered them.  

Here's a close up...

This release is so much fun!!  And this set is beautiful...with so many possibilities!!  Hope you are having a great midweek day!!  Please take care!!  Thanks for taking a look, today!!  Hugs!!  Lisa
