It's time for the monthly Simon Says Stamp release and it is called Just For You! I made quite a few cards with it that I will be sharing over the next few weeks. My favorite product in this release is the Magical Spring stamp set because I love all things fairies and mushrooms. I'll have a "one stamp, five ways" post using this set on the SSS Blog on March 31st. Today I have a card to share with you using two of the new products, the Mother's Day Bouquet stamp and die and the Leaf Edges cling stamp. Here are images of these two products:
And here is my card:
I started with the background. I made a watercolored panel using a few colors of Nuvo Shimmer Powder. I kept it a very light wash and didn't cover the entire piece. I flicked water and some more shimmer powder over it for splotches. I die-cut this with a rectangle from the SSS Basic Rectangle Dies. I then embossed the new Leaf Edges Cling Stamp to the bottom left corner. I used the piece that is on the top of the stamp and turned it upside down. I used white embossing powder so it would be a subtle background.
I attached this piece to a pink card base. I then stamped the vase and floral arrangement in the Mother's Day Bouquet stamp set with Latte Ink on white cardstock. I colored them in with Colored Pencils. I die-cut them out with the matching dies. The vase has a cut in the top so it opens. I stuck the flowers inside it. I tied some Lawn Fawn Aquamarine Cording around the top of the vase. I then attached foam tape to the back of the images and attached them over the center of the background.
I embossed the "happy mother's day" banner stamp with Ranger Garden Patina embossing powder (a lovely teal color I use all the time!). I attached it over the vase with foam tape behind both of the edges. I added some pink gems from the Honeybee Hugs and Kisses Gem Stickers. I also added some English Mustard Nuvo Drops over the yellow flowers for extra dimension.
I now have my Mother's Day card made for my mom this year. Now if I can just remember to mail it For a card maker, I'm terrible about mailing things! I love this new Mother's Day Bouquet stamp set and matching dies for an easy, quick Mother's Day card. The Just For You release is full of wonderful products just for YOU! Thanks for visiting. I'll be back Friday for day one of a two day blog hop celebrating the release (March 17th and 18th). Suzy
