Simon Says Stamp | Ombre Ink Blended Hearts. Blog Hop + Giveaway
Hello and thank you for stopping by! Today I’m joining Simon Says Stamp to celebrate the launch of their And Back Again release. I have 2 Clean & Simple cards to share featuring just a bit of ink blending and a touch of stamping.

CARD DETAILS
I started by ink blending the hearts using the Heart Mask Stencils on Neenah Solar White cardstock with 3 colors of ink for each card – Seafoam, Surf, Ocean for the blue card, and Bubblegum, Sweets, Taffy.
I trimmed the ink blended panels 3 1/3 x 4 3/4″. Next, I did some simple stamping in black ink – I stamped sentiments from the Love Greetings Mix set in Versafine Onyx Black ink and added sub sentiments created from Simon’s pre-printed sentiment strips.
I foam mounted these panels onto A2 card bases, to add interest I covered part of the card base front with colored cardstock cut diagonally. I also added tiny die-cut hearts cut from Mirror Gold paper – I love the little gold touch they provide. Lastly, I embellished my cards with silver gems.

Yesterday I shared a video with a quick dry embossing tip using Simon’s new 3D embossing folders. Check it out HERE.
