Simon Says Stamp Blossoms and Butterflies!

Happy Thursday crafty friends! Today marks a new Simon Says Stamp Exclusive Release: Blossoms and Butterflies!

I am in love with the Butterflies from the Comfort and Prayers stamp set! They are GORGEOUS!!!  I started by stamping the largest butterfly on Bristol Smooth Cardstock with my Gina K. Amalgam ink for some no-line coloring using my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers (all colors used are listed below). I fussy cut my butterfly and put it to the side to work on my background panel.

I chose the Sugar Plum Avery Elle Watercolor to paint lines on my Tim holtz Watercolor Paper.  I just used a wide damp brush and added my lines. I used one coat to keep the pastel feel of the purple.

I then chose the Simon Says Stamp Hello Beautiful Gorgeous dies from a previous release and die cut them twice, once from Simon Says Stamp glitter paper and once again with black cardstock. I used my Connect glue and offset the black slightly.

I placed my sentiments and my butterfly on the panel using foam tape for the butterfly wings to give some added dimension.

To finish off the card I added some Pretty Pink Posh Winter Sparkle Mix sequins and some Nuvo Jewel drops to the wings of the butterfly and the card panel.

Thanks so much for taking the time go to Simon Says Stamp to see the entire release!

Sending you a Paper Hug!

Happy Monday! I am sharing a Paper Hug today featuring this fabulous die by The Stamp Market :) I am in love with this stamp and die set!!!

I started by taking a piece of Tim Holtz watercolor paper and playing with my Avery Elle watercolors in rainbow order :)

Since they are in fantastic little bottles, I simply put a drop to paper and used my distress sprayer to spread the color. I repeated this about three times for each color and then added some Antique Bronze Distress Paint and spread that with water as well.

Once it was damp, I placed the panel under a pile of stamping blocks to flatten it and prepared my Paper Hug die that I cut from a Fun Foam, Stick It and Tonic Black Glitter sandwich. 

I also used my Rose Gold Embossing Powder for the secondary sentiment which should have gone on the top but it looked better at the bottom, lol.

I embossed my panel with a We R Memory Keepers 3D Embossing  Folder and put everything together on the card base.

To finish off I added some Pretty Pink Posh Rose Gold sequins that match the Antique Bronze paint and my embossing powder beautifully.
