Hello, friends! I hope you have been enjoying your weekend. I wish someone would have told me about Daylight Savings! Haha. It has been a late start for me this Sunday. I spent the afternoon in my craft room, including finishing up this card featuring some products from the new Favorite Things Release from Simon Says Stamp.
Note: all supplies are linked in the thumbnails at the end of this blog post.
My card today features the new Blessed die, along with a sentiment from the new Reverse Blessed Sentiment Strips. I wanted to create a floral background, but I wanted to do something different…for me anyway. I decided not to do my go-to die cut card and instead stamped the entire background. And, I chose to stamp with my Distress Oxides on Kraft cardstock. I used the wonderful Cozy Autumn Hugs set, although I think the colors I chose give it a year-round feel. I stamped with the following colors:
- Kitsch Flamingo
- Spiced Marmalade
- Fossilized Amber
- Salvaged Patina
- Evergreen Bough
- Mermaid Lagoon
- Iced Spruce
Once I was finished stamping, I took some Walnut Stain Distress Ink and blended it around the edges. I then followed that with some Black Soot, since all of the stems and the sentiment on my card are black. I used black glossy card stock for the blessed word and vellum for the shadow. I stacked two more layers of the blessed word behind the vellum to lift it off the panel. I trimmed down the sentiment and adhered it under the word die. And that is it for my card! I love how it turned out!
I hope this card brings a smile to your face. Thank you so much for visiting my blog today.
Wishing you all a crafty day,
Allison
