simon says stamp: lucky to know you blog hop
Hi there crafty friends! Welcome to the Simon Says Stamp Lucky to Know You Blog hop! I have 2 cards to share with you today using the new Layered Tulips stencil. This set of 4 small (4 x 4) stencils is so easy to use and a perfect way to add shading if you are coloring challenged like me. Before I get to the cards, I wanted to let you know that there are 2 different codes in the graphic above that let YOU pick a free gift – either WLY777 for the Wooly Lucky stamp set and FLF584 for the Color the World Enamel Pin when you order during the duration of the hop.
These free gifts are available while supplies last and the promotion expires on March 8th at 11:59 PDT. You can shop the entire Lucky to Know You Release here. If you created anything with the new release, be sure to share it in the Lucky to Know You gallery. This is the first day of the hop, and there will be another hop full of inspiration tomorrow, so be sure to visit Simon Says Stamp for even more crafty goodness.
For my first card, I used all 4 parts of the Layered Tulips stencil with Distress Oxides applied with Distress Oxide Blending Brushes. I blended Worn Lipstick and Picked Raspberry for the petals, then Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn and Lucky Clover for the leaves and stems. I added a few accents with Polychromos Pencils then added an All Things Happy sentiment strip.
For my second card, I took a panel of Distress watercolor paper and swiped in through Antique Linen DIstress Ink and dried it with a heat tool. I used just one stencil that had the shape of the flowers and spread matte Distress Texture Paste through it. I pinched some DIstress Embossing Glaze in Fossilized Amber, Tattered Rose and Fired Brick onto the paste and tapped the paper from underneath to move it around.
Once the paste underneath was dry, I heat the flowers with a heat gun. To create the stems and leaves, I used a Distress Embossing Pen to draw them in and pinched on some of the Distress Embossing Glaze in Cracked Pistachio and Peeled Paint and used the same tapping technique to move the colors around and then heat it with a heat gun. I finished the card with an older Simon Says Stamp sentiment from the Handwritten Love stamp set.
Simon Says Stamp is giving away a $25 coupon to every stop on the hop from the comments section. They will choose the winners over the weekend and post on the Simon Says Stamp blog on Wednesday, the 11th of March.
