Hello there, friends!
Welcome to Day 2 of the Simon Says Stamp Sweetheart release blog hop! Today’s blog hop begins at the Simon Says Stamp blog – so be sure to start there and hop along for your chance to win a prize and to see all the wonderful inspiration! All the inspiration from this release will also be linked in the Sweetheart Gallery!
My card today is a 5″ x 7″ card and uses the Friendship Leafy Cluster set, which includes a 4″ x 6″ stamp, coordinating dies, and a set of 2 stencils. I love the way the leaves overlap! I have a video showing my process and hope you’ll enjoy watching!
The edges of my card and frame are dipped in gold embossing powder for some gold touches that coordinate with the embossed foliage on the top frame.
I ink-blended the foliage with greens and a touch of orange to give them interest.

I loved how you made the contrast between lower layer of leaves (i.e., stenciled & without a black border) versus the highlighted focus on upper layer (embossed black edges on the leaves). Really draws the eye to the center. Would not have thought to do this…it’s so very pretty!
