Hey friends! Before I get to the post there's still a site wide SALE going on at SSS:
Shop at Simon Says Stamp <-------click! this weekend only and save 15% site wide with the code CRFT898
OK on to the cards:
So I've been using my Nuvo Shimmer Powders a LOT lately - and I am aware that they are currently sold out at SSS. I will most likely update from my Facebook page <------click! when I see them back in stock (as I don't have plans to stop using them and I have more ideas LOL!) as that's one of the easiest places to keep my peeps updated on things. Anywho - I thought I'd make some colourful, shimmery backgrounds that DON'T use the shimmer powders this time.
So I pulled out an oldie-but-goodie fave background stamp - the Abstract Triangle Background stamp, and white heat embossed it onto Canson XL watercolor paper. I then used Picked Raspberry, Mustard Seed and Mermaid Lagoon Distress Spray Stains along with Brutus Monroe Pearl Shimmer Mist to add all the color and shimmer.
I used the CZ Design Spring In My Step stamp set for the sentiments and white heat embossed the Paper Hugs sentiment onto vellum then used the coordinating wafer die to cut it out.
On the insides of the cards I stamped the Abstract Triangles Background with Simon's Fog Ink. I then inked up another sentiment from the Spring In My Step stamp set using Picked Raspberry, Mustard Seed and Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide inks and a brayer. I finished them off by stamping a sub-sentiment from the Spring In My Step stamp set and that was it!
