Simon Says Stamp | The Color Of Fun Blog Hop! Dreamers Gotta Dream, right? Video! Giveaway (now closed)
The Color of Fun from Simon Says Stamp is here! Yay! Yay! Yay! Are you ready for a ton of creative inspiration and fun? I know I am as I can barely contain my excitement! I’ve already shared one video and 3 cards yesterday using the yummy Ice Cream sets, be sure to check those out HERE. Here’s a peek for you:
And I have one more card to share today created using a special “Many Thanks” set designed by Dawn from WPLUS9. It is one of those layering and builiding sets that lets you create awesome multi colored images. And it is also a must have!
Like this project? Pin it and save for later!
I used several colors of ink from Simon to stamp the flowers, I paired Rosie Cheeks, Hollyhock and Lipstick Red; Sunshine and Duckling; Melon and Sunkist. And I also used Catkin for the leaves.
To give my background a little twist I die cut it using Stitched Rectangles. I also cut a panel out of vellum and muted a part of my stamping. For the sentiment I selected a Relax word die and created a negative. I complimented that with a stamped Dreamers Gotta Dream which I cut apart and re-arranged into a two line sentiment.
I also added glittery highlights to my card using a Wink of Stella Glitter pen, I outlined the frame and the sunshine.
VIDEO TUTORIAL
As always I am sharing a video tutorial showing how to create this card from start to finish. Enjoy it here or on my Youtube channel:
