Summer Flowers!

Happy Sunday crafty friends! Kim with you this morning sharing a summer inspired flower card!

Like many of you I am sure, I adore summer. The beach, the sun, the smell of freshly cut grass and the beauty of gorgeous summer flowers!

I really wanted to use the the Blossoms for Coloring set (CM255), I love the modern clean lines of these blossoms. I decided to color them with my Copic markers in rainbow colors. I used the accompanying dies. I then took my panel and die cut it with he Hero Arts Rounded Rectangle dies.

I decided the panel needed a little color so I used my Every Which Way stencil selectively coloring certain spots with my Soft Pool Ink and my ink blending tool. I then lined up my sentiment from the Hand Drawn Everyday Messages and stamped it with my Hero Arts Black Die Ink.

 

I used a mix of foam tape and glue to place my flowers and leaves on the panel and cut the excess off the sides. I finished it all off with various embellishments!

Simon Says Stamp - Good Vibes!

The newest Simon Stamp Stamp - Good Vibes exclusive release is live! I love the Simon's exclusive releases! 

I got to play with the fabulous Beachy Waves Background stamp!

I made two cards with the background stamp, one is watercolor and the second is emboss resist.

For my first card, I simply used my Tombow markers and colored directly on the background stamp using my Stamp positioner so that I could double stamp if needed. Once colored in, I sprayed my stamp with my Distress Sprayer and stamped on my watercolor paper.  I repeated this twice to intensify the color. I then stamped my fish from the Simon Says Stamp Best Fishes set and colored them with my copics in similar colors. I used the accompanying dies and foam mounted them on my card in the "waves" and added some Studio Katia iridescent drops to finish my 1st project. 

For my second project I used Versamark ink and some glitter embossing powder. I then used a rainbow of Distress Oxide Inks and blended them on my panel. I die cut the Simon Says Stamp Bikini die from black card stock along with the Simon Says Stamp Sending die. I placed all of my elements on the card and finished the project with Lucy's Little Things Gems.

Thanks for taking the time go check the new release you will love it!
