Hello there!
The Simon Says Stamp Be Creative release went live last night (early this morning)! Today’s blog hop is day 1 of 2 so be sure to check out the Simon Says Stamp Blog for all the inspiration where these blog hops begin! If you haven’t checked out the full release, you need to! My card today uses the Fantastic Flowers set. It is a 6″ x 8″ set with solid foliage and flowers. My card today uses one of the stems and is repeated in different colors to create my colorful spray.

I didn’t have dies when I made this card – so it was a lot of fussy cutting! There is also a coordinating stencil set if you’d rather ink-blend, but the die will die-cut both images that are stamped and ink-blended with a stencil. I love the options!

I used Pawsitively Saturated Inks and stamped the foliage in a lighter color and then stamped the stem in a darker color from the same color family. Then on a 5″ x 7″ card panel, I fanned the foliage stems to create a spray from the center-left hand of the panel. I attached my images with foam adhesive for dimension.

I finished by using a sentiment from the new Greetings Trio die set. The wonky letters are so fun! To finish my card, I added some dew drops.
