SSS: SEASON OF SENTIMENTS

The other day, I received the Simon Says Stamp February Card Kit.  I LOVE floral images and couldn't wait to get my hands on this gorgeous floral bouquet stamp set.  The first thing that I wanted to do with this stamp was to create a set of coordinating cards.  

Instead of coloring each part of the image, I created a more blended, free-form look using distress oxide inks and foam blending tools.

I love the Thank You and Wonderful sentiments that are included in this set.  So I used those stamps alternately between all four cards on the front and inside.  I used black and pink embossing powder to make the sentiment "pop".

Once I finished embellishing the card fronts with dots and bitty sparkles, I adhered them to the different colored cardstock that were also included in the kit.  I love how these came out and can't wait to create more cards with this kit!

GOLD & SPARKLY BIRTHDAY

Using the third background I created with Alcohol Inks and Yupo Paper, I made this birthday card. I started out using pink and red inks and blending them together. I wanted to create a diagonal shape across the card but the inks got away from me. So, I just kept adding more of each ink color as well as Gilded (gold color) alcohol ink. I really love how this card came out even though I imagined it coming out a completely different way.

JUST A NOTE

Here's the second blue and green background that I created using Alcohol Inks and silver deco foil.

I used the Just a Note Stamp Set from CTMH and cut it out using my scan and cut machine.  I popped it up with some 3-D foam tape and backed the card front on some silver foil paper.  Added some bitty sparkles and voila, a pretty thank you card.
