Today is the first day of a 2 day blog hop celebrating the Simon Says Stamp Hello Gorgeous release. The release went live today, so I blogged this card using the new Garden Boots stamp and the Dimensional Quilt cling stamp:
You can see the blog post with directions for that card HERE. Today I have a card to share with you using several of the new products including the Delicate Floral Frames stamp and matching dies, the Delicate Floral Mandala cling stamp, the Fancy Mom die, the reverse Mother's Day sentiment strips, and the Seashore Sequins. That's a lot of new products on one card! Here is the card:
I started by stamping the Delicate Floral Mandala cling stamp with Intense Black Ink on white cardstock. I die-cut it with the largest die in the SSS A2 Thin Frame Dies. I then colored it in with colored pencils. Next, I stamped all four of the frames in the Delicate Floral Frame stamp set with the same black ink. I colored all 4 of them in to match the background as I wasn't sure which one I wanted to use. I die-cut them out with the matching Delicate Floral Frame dies.
Next, I mounted my background on a purple cardstock base. I die-cut the new Fancy Mom die from the same purple cardstock and white cardstock. I attached the oval frame to the center of my background with foam tape behind it for dimension. I then glued the Mom die to the center. I die-cut a sentiment from the new Reverse Mother's Day sentiment strips with the Honey Bee Sentiment Banner die. I then used a black marker around the edges to blacken them and I cut the sentiment apart so it fit on each side of the mom die (I cut the word mother out of it). I used Carribean Ocean and Crushed Grapes Nuvo Drops around the sentiment and also over all of the dots on the card background. I added some of the new Seashore Sequins around the frame.
