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!

wonderful array of cards, Sarah!!
Omg these cards are fantastic!!!!
Thanks for the inspiration, all your cards are awesome. I thought I liked one and then I would keep scrolling down. :)
Fun cards and gorgeous cards, love them all. :)
Those cards are all amazing! So clean and crisp looking. Love them!
Wow all of your cards are beautiful!!!
I always love colored pencil on kraft, and this one is gorgeous!
I'm impressed with all your beautiful colorful cards!
What a great reminder that, if you can't find quite the right sentiment, there's always the computer! Thanks so much for sharing. I can see, again today, that I really have the same tastes as you. I will be following your blog!
Ohhh the tone on tone in the background of the first one is such a great effect. Also the "A little behind" card cracks me up. Wonderful cards and way to be creative with it!
Love your card. Like the bright and pretty colors.
Fantastic cards Sarah. The background stamp is amazing! Love the coloring on Kraft! That silhouette kitty is darling!
Hi Sarah! WOW!! You have done an amazing job with all of your cards. They are awesome.šš» That kitty cat has stolen my heart...my fave!š» Happy Stamptember!

You've been busy, Sarah! All of your cards are beautiful, but that first one literally made my jaw drop. Just gorgeous!!
Saved the best for last! This has been a great blog hop all around, but your ornate backgrounds are absolutely stunning. Love your blog. Thanks for sharing.
I love, love the kitty cat die and the card you made with it. Thanks for sharing!
I love your ornate background card on the sandstorm card stock. I can't wait to get my hands on this stamp (ordered it today) and give it a try! When I saw a peek of your "cat butt" card, I knew I HAD to have it as well. I have an artist friend who somehow became known for drawing cat's from behind and I am envisioning a birthday or for no reason card(s) for him featuring this die!
Amazing water coloring! Each card is prettier than the next.
Wow! What a diverse range of cards and all so beautiful. I think the Ornate Background stamp would be my favourite. I love how you used it as a focal point and as the background. Thank you.
Your cat behind card makes me smile!
Great variety of cards. That cat cracks me up!

Thanks for sharing your stunning cards. I particularly like the first one - the Ornate background stamp on the green is a stunner, and LOVE how you've used the diamond shape from Artsy Shapes (my fave from the new release) to create the background for your kitty card. How clever are you :-)!
