Yeah! Simon Says Stamp's NEW June 2020 release - Send Happiness is LIVE HERE <------click! AND I have it in my hands. Funny enough both the Crafty Hugs release and the Send Happiness release arrived within a couple of days of each other. So I do plan on doing Release & Review videos (since there've been several requests for them) on both releases they'll just be out of order. I'm swamped but it's a good thing IMO!
SO - I made a card. A slimline card. With a matching envelope - using one of the NEW slimline envelopes Simon released!! I am so happy about these - and yes I hope there will be a bunch more colors released down the road as that will be fun.
This is a 3.5 x 8.5" slimline card.
I used 3 of the new wafer dies for the focal point on this card: Etched Peony Blossom, Etched Flower Buds and Leafy Branch. I die cut all of them from Distress watercolor paper and then watercolored the florals using my Prima Tropicals watercolor palette. I (of course) added some splatter to the blooms with Ranger Perfect Pearl powder and water.
On the background I used the new In the Round stencil with Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide ink. I added shimmer as well using the Cosmic Shimmer Opal Blaze polish that came in the July 2020 Card Kit. I ended up adding the Opal Blaze Polish to the Leafy Branch die cut because more is more LOL!
On the outside and inside of the card I used sentiments from the Reverse Happy Sentiment Strips pack. The card was finished off with a matching Soft Navy Slimline Envelope that I sponged the Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide ink over and Opal Blaze Polish using the In the Round stencil and that was it!
