Simon Says Stamp July Card Kit #4
Sending My Love
Back to playing in my July Simon Says Stamp Card Kit for July. This card uses this weeks Operation Write Home Sketch 231. I colored the envelops with Copics in B14, B05 and B37 and used one of the stickers that come in the kit. The “love” stamp is part of the “Lots of Love” stamp, only partially inked. Don’t forget to stretch your stamps by using portions of sentiments or even cutting them if needed. You can always put them back on the block the way they were intended.

Card made with Stamping Bella by Mo Manning Rubber Stamp called Lacy with Ice Cream colored with a watercolor wash background and white embossing powder. The Design is based on sketch from Crazy 4 Challenges 241 and the paper is Lawn Fawn. Sentiment is Claudine Helmuth and the circle is a bazzill chip sprayed with Lindy’s Stamp Gang Spray in “Pretty in Pink Pink” (yes, two pink’s). The circle die is My Favorite Things. I topped it off with some sequins and did a little distressing.

The background technique is called pointillism, which is simply a bunch of dots made with the makers that are more focused in the center and then dissipates toward the edges. The sentiment is from My Favorite Things and the banner die is Simon Says Stamp.

Sketchbook Saturday 124
I don’t often make Clean & Simple cards, but saw the Sketchbook Saturday Challenge and thought I’d give it a go with this Simon Says Stamp set called “Absolutely Delightful”. The butterflies are from the Flight of Fancy Tim Holtz and Sizzix collaboration of stamps and dies. I colored them with Distress Markers. Delightful was stamped with Hero Arts Shadow Ink in Just Rust, Dark Quartz, Soft Cantaloupe, Soft Apricot, Butter Bar and Soft Vanilla.
