Yesterday I posted these two cards and mentioned I'd be sharing more cards today featuring the same stamps:
Here are today's card examples:
For this first card I stamped Simon's stunning new Ornate Background Stamp with Simon's White Pigment Ink onto Neenah Desert Storm Cardstock. I then used Prismacolor Colored Pencils to color in parts of the image. I die cut Simon's Miss You Die from their Black Cardstock and a heart twice from vellum (so it was a little more opaque) using Simon's Nesting Hearts Dies. I used Ranger Multi Medium Matte to adhere all those pieces together, making sure all the adhesive was behind the sentiment so it wouldn't show through. I added some of Lucy's Cards gorgeous Clear Iridescent Sequins and Rainbow Sparkle Jewels. Finally, I decided to cut my panel down a bit and matt it with Neenah Solar White Cardstock before adding it to a note card made from Neenah Desert Storm Cardstock.
For my second card. I used Simon's new Amazing Messages Stamp Set. I white heat embossed my sentiment on a piece of Canson XL Watercolor Paper die cut with Simon's Wonky Rectangle Dies and coloured it with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. Again I added some of Lucy's Clear Iridescent Sequins and used foam tape to matt the panel on a piece of Doodlebug Fairytales Paper.
Finally, I just had to make a card using the cute new Kitty Cat Die. I'm guessing this die was designed to be used with the head in the front but when I opened the envelope with the two-piece die in it and pull it out all I saw was a cat's behind...particularly MY cat's behind, lol.
I die cut the Kitty Cat from Simon's Black Cardstock and adhered the head to a piece of Neenah White Cardstock cut with one of Simon's Stitched Rectangle Dies. I used one of Simon's Mini Action Wobble Springs to give the back of the cat some dimension and movement and adhered it in place. The sentiment was typed on my PC and printed on Simon's Seaglass Cardstock. For the background, I repeatedly stamped an image from Simon's New Artsy Shapes with Hollyhock Dye Ink on Simon's Cotton Candy Cardstock. I adhered this diecut piece to a notecard created from Neenah Desert Storm Cardstock and added the panel with the cat.
The inside greeting was typed and printed along with the one for the front of the card and die cut with one of Simon's Stitched Rectangle Dies.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
