Hey there sunshine

 Hi everyone,

No doubt we have had an ample amount of sunshine this summer. Nice day to be on the water in a boat or just in the water period. Hence, my card. Entering in the current Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge https://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/wednesdaychallenge/

I started by creating my background using a slimline stencil and ink blended 3 different shades of Distress inks.

The sailboats were die cut twice from white card stock and just the masts and boat hulls were coloured with Distress inks also.

The die sentiment was cut from a piece of orange glitter card stock and glued directly to my base whereas the other sentiment cut from a Paper Rose collection and foam mounted to my card.

I added a strip of patterned blue paper to the background and added my panel to that. The boats were glued directly to the background and some glossy accents was added to each.

Well that’s it for my card and thanks so much for stopping by 🙏🏻

Simon Says Stamp Sunshine and Sailboat dies

Pinkfresh Studio Slimline Layered Starburst stencil

 Hi everyone,

Don’t know where you are but it’s awfully hot here in Montreal so I decided to hide away in my craft room for a while.

Today’s card i a  entering in the current Simon Says Stamp IG challenge where the theme is to use a stencil and the current Flickr challenge #181 where the theme is Friendship and Flowers.

I chose the Flora stencil from SSS and used it on purple card stock with Nuvo Glacier paste. I love all the glossy shine that it gives. As this stencil is quite delicate I used an adhesive spray to hold it in place so I could apply the paste.

I used both vellum and a piece of black card stock to die cut the Hugs word. The other is a preprinted sentiment from Paper Rose.

Well that’s it for my card and thanks so much for stopping by 🙏🏻

Simon Says Stamp Flora stencil

 Hi everyone,

Today I have a card to share for the August Simon Says Stamp IG challenge where the theme is to use a stencil.

I used the Raindrop stencil and ink blended a bunch of Distress inks in rainbow order onto white card stock.

The sentiment and word die are from Altenew. I die cut the word from white vellum and stamped over top with a mix of blue and purple Distress inks to follow the order of the raindrop colours on the card. I also heat embossed it with clear embossing powder.

The sentiment was stamped on black card stock and embossed with white embossing powder.

I used a rainbow paper from Lawn Fawn to cover my card base and adhered the blended panel with foam tape and added the word sentiment with foam tape also.

Well that’s it for my card and thanks so much for stopping by 🙏🏻

Supplies:

Simon Says Stamp Raindrops stencil

Altenew Halftone Smile stamp set and die

 Hi everyone,

I’ve been a little quiet lately just enjoying the outdoors and soaking up the sunshine ☀️ but I do have a card today to share with you using Lawn Fawn and Simon Says Stamp products.

I applied my stencil to a piece of white card stock and then began blending the different colours of neon inks masking sections of the stencil as I added my colours.

I die cut the word die once with black card stock and than again with pink card stock. I glued the two together offsetting them.

The other sentiment was stamped with clear embossing ink and heat set with white embossing powder.

I added my panel to a piece of black card stock and added that to my card base.

Both the die cut word and sentiment strip were added with foam tape.

Well that’s it for my card and thanks so much for stopping by🙏🏻
