Simon Says Stamp | Henna Pattern Backgrounds. Video
Hello everyone! I have a video tutorial to share today featuring a fantastic stamp set by Simon Says Stamp – Henna Patterns. It truly is a unique set that allows us to take the art of henna tattoo and incorporate it into cardmaking. If you can’t quite picture using these designs in your cardmaking – Pinterest it!

CARD DETAILS
The idea is rather simple – heat emboss images in white embossing powder onto kraft cardstock to imitate the look of lace on skin. I am sharing 3 simple to create patterns in my video tutorial, be sure to watch it!
I used two of the patterns to create cards I’m sharing below – I just love how clean and beautiful these backgrounds turned out. Even though I didn’t space my elements perfectly, I still was able to create lovely backgrounds.
I adhered my heat embossed background onto A2 top folding card bases made out of white cardstock.
To finish my cards I used a big You from the You Matter set, it is the perfect size to work as a focal point on a card! I decided to go with “You Are Enough” and heat embossed “Are Enough” in Simon’s Antique Gold embossing powder onto a strip of white cardstock.
One of my “You” die cuts has a white drop shadow – I used white shimmer cardstock and also Scrapbook Adhesive’s thin foam adhesive sheets to add a pop of dimension. The other “You” is also dimensional, there’s no shadow but a vellum circle die cut instead.
Here’s the second card I created using the same supplies and technique:
