This one is GORGEOUS! I must start with an apology (although that breaks all the public speaking lessons I've ever learned, but this isn't speaking really is it?!?!?!). I have only made 2 cards today! I want to use this kit/stamp set for a "one stamp, five ways" post as it is just so full and cute and fun and ... so that will be coming soon. I also still have a post ready using an Encouraging Words stencil five ways - much blogging to do this week! Here is an image of the Simon Says Stamp September 2017 kit:
And here is an image of my favorite part of the kit, the Best Ever stamp set (which is also sold alone):
This stamp set made me think of rainbows of course, so I decided to go with a rainbow theme for my cards. I wanted to keep them simple and channel May Sukyong Park's style of one layer cards. So I did some rainbow random stamping and colored them in with Copics - very simple!
See, very simple for me, right? And almost one layer - I had to add a sentiment on a banner which technically makes them two layers. I also had to use my Tonic Nuvo Drops because I'm seriously addicted. I even have a few more colors on the way to me from Simon. They are breaking my bank over here! Here are the card details:
My daughters said these look like Gay Pride cards - so if that's your thing, this kit might be for you! I started with a stitched rectangle die-cut from Neenah white cardstock. I then stamped the rainbow on it with black ink multiple times. I colored in the rainbow with six colors of Copics - I even kept each one color and didn't add shading (ugh so hard to do!) so they were more simple. That was the goal!
Next, I added a banner with the Happy Birthday stamp on it. I think this banner came from the MFT Tag Builder die set. I stamped it it black ink on white cardstock to keep the focus on the rainbows. I then added some Tonic Nuvo Drops in Ebony Black and White.
This card was done the same exact way - I started with a stitched rectangle full card size die-cut from Neenah white cardstock. I stamped the heart rainbow images with black ink and colored them in with Copic markers. This time I used 11 colors for each stripe so I got to extend my rainbow, but still no shading - very simple coloring!
I then added a banner die-cut out of white cardstock and stamped the sentiment with black ink. I used Tonic Nuvo Drops in Crystal and Ebony to finish it.
These cards are definitely not my usual style - I didn't even watercolor anything or use my glitter pens! But I wanted to try something new and different. I'll be coming back with a five ways post using this kit later this week, so come visit. And you can be notified when I post by signing up for emails at the top left of my blog. Thanks so much for visiting and have a great week friends! Suzy
