Hello friends!!
First off - Simon Says Stamp's April 2021 - Born to Sparkle release just went live!!:
You can check out the entire new release HERE <------click!
I was super inspired (as usual) by a recent video of Debby Hughes - you can check out her card and video HERE <-----click! I really loved the colors and the mixed media (and well everything really) and it made me want to pull out my supplies and just create - so I did!
I was also sent the new Salvaged Patina Distress Color:
If you missed Tim's video revealing the new color plus all the ideas ind inspo you can find that HERE. You can check out all the new products in this color HERE <------click! Tim and SSS sent me the bundle and it showed up today so I lost NO time opening it all and creating with them!
So here's what I made. I used Canson XL watercolor paper along with Salvaged Patina Distress Spray Stain and Distress Oxide Spray, Antique Linen Distress Oxide Spray, Pumice Stone Distress Spray Stain and Black Soot Distress Spray Stain. I then used the new XL Rose Bouquet Stencil and crackle paste on top.
I used Simon's Bubble Wrap stencil with some of the Salvaged Patina Distress Ink, and used the new Open Grid Background stamp with some Nocturne ink.
On the insides of the cards I used the XL Rose Bouquet stencil with the Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide ink (LOOOOVVVEEEE this color - using it on top of the Neenah Desert Storm card stock? LOVE.). The sentiments are from the new Family Headline stamp set. I paired these cards with some black envelopes and that was it!
To see how these cards came together check out my video below:
