Welcome to the Simon Says Stamp Reason to Smile Blog Hop! You should be arriving from the super talented Suzy Plantamura's blog.
In case you missed it, here is the entire fabulous new release including stamps, dies, Suzy's prints, embossing powders, stitch-able dies, and FELT:
Here are the cards I created for today's hop:
For this first card, I painted a sunset scene on Tim Holtz Distress Watercolor Cardstock with Gansai Watercolors, let it dry, and stamped a couple of clouds from Simon's new Cloudy Sky Stamps with Simon's White Pigment Ink. I then die cut a few clouds from Simon's coordinating Clouds Dies, inked up the bottoms with a couple of Simon's inks, and gave them some 'silver lining' via a Sakura Stardust Clear Glitter Pen. I adhered the watercolored panel to a notecard made from Neenah Solar White Cardstock, added a strip of patterned paper, and a thin strip of Darice Grey Sparkle Tape. The sentiment was white heat embossing on Simon's Black Cardstock and the clouds were adhered with Foam Tape.
For my second card, I white heat embossed the flowers and leaves from Simon's Spring Flowers Stamp Set on a piece of Ranger Watercolor Paper before loosely painting them with my Gansai Watercolors. I flicked some of the colour onto the panel with a paint brush and once dried I die cut
it with the rectangle from Simon's Bundle of Stitches Dies. I adhered the panel to a piece of Simon's Doll Pink Cardstock before adhering it to my notecard. I die cut Simon's Prayers Die, inked it up with Versamark Ink, and heat embossed it with Simon's beautiful new Rose Gold Ultrafine Embossing Powder before adding it to my card.
Supplies:
Simon Says Stamp will be giving away a Simon Goody Bag worth about $50 on every stop of the hop! Winners will be drawn this coming Tuesday, February 23rd and will be contacted by Simon Says Stamp.
Thanks for stopping by! Your next stop is the fabulous Yana Smakula's blog.

Gorgeous watercoloring!
The cards you made are so beautiful! I love the cloud stamps! I have a tiny cloud punch that someone gave me at a craft fair. We were both crafters and we were talking and I don't remember what happened or that I said but she just gave me that sky punch! These stamps are way bugger then my punch. Hey, maybe I could combine the 2! You did a beautiful job with your cards. I love both cards!
I should have said way bigger, not way bugger. What happened to my spell check? LOL It should also say or what I said not that I said. I have to check my spell and grammar check!
The clouds card is catchy and very nice looking. The prayers card is lovely with the flowers and their colors. Great job on both!
Your 'prayers' card is absolutely stunning. Well done.
I love the beautiful sky and the way you touched the clouds with the blue. And the Prayers card will be perfect for someone who needs some encouragement.
