Today is the Simon Says Stamp HELLO GORGEOUS release yippeee! There are so many cute spring products in this release and I have made a few cards with them already. The question was which one to share! I picked this one because it uses a couple of my favorite products from the release. I used the Garden Boots stamp set and matching dies and the Dimensional Quilt cling stamp. Here are images:
And here is my card:
I stamped the Dimensional Quilt cling stamp with MFT Natural Ink on a piece of white cardstock. I colored it in with Copic markers. I added some shading and some lines over the inked lines with matching colored pencils. I used a ruler and the lines I drew hid the stamped lines and also fixed all my Copic mistakes! I wanted it to look like a vine background, so that is why I kept it all in greens.
I die-cut an oval out of white cardstock using the SSS Nested Oval Dies. I then stamped the two boots in the Garden Boots stamp set with MFT Natural Ink again. I colored them in with colored pencils. I drew a checked pattern on the larger boot. After they were colored, I felt like they needed outlines, so I added lines with a fine tip Micron pen. I also drew lines around the patterns I created on the boots. I die-cut them out with the matching dies.
I attached the two boots over the oval with foam tape beneath them. Because the background was so busy, I wanted them to have some dimension to stand out a bit more. I used two sentiments from the same Garden Boots stamp set. I embossed the "thanks" with Leaf Green embossing powder on the top of the oval. Then I stamped the second sentiment with Intense Black Ink below it. I added some sparkling clear sequins around the oval.
Wednesday and Thursday this week which is 3/23 and 3/24 is the 2 day blog hop, so I will be sharing more inspiration using the new Hello Gorgeous release then. You can also visit the Hello Gorgeous gallery to see all of the designers' cards in one place. I hope you are able to grab what you love and enjoy the release as well! Thanks so much for visiting today! Suzy

While I love the overall card, it's the background that really drew me to it. I just purchased the quilt stamp and am fascinated by your ink blending. Great inspiration!
