I always love getting a package with new release products from Simon Says Stamp and I have created a few cards to share with you today.
The first card features the brand new Etched Snowflake Background from the Hey Bestie release. I love the style of these snowflakes and the AMAZING detail that you get from the cling. I embossed the snowflake design in white, and painted it in with my Daniel Smith watercolors in Phthalo Blue, Prussian Blue, Phthalo Turquoise, Lunar Black and Indigo then gave it a bit of white and gold splatter. I mounted the panel onto a gold mat, then mounted it onto a white notecard. I die cut the CS Design Thank You die from Simon Soft Navy cardstock and mounted that onto my panel.
For my second card, I stamped the Heart to Heart background onto black card stock and embossed it with clear embossing powder for a tone on tone look. I cut the Rainbow Heart out using all the colors of Tim Holtz Metallic Kraft Stock from the Confections pack. I finished it off with a sentiment from the Reverse Miss You sentiment strips.
For the third card, I created something a little different with the new Peony Bouquet stencil. I cut a panel of yupo paper and then applied Ranger texture paste through the stencil and let it dry. With an old paint brush, I painted Pool alcohol ink onto the top of the panel. For the flowers, I used Alcohol Pearls in Enchanted, Intrigue, Alchemy and a tiny bit of Smolder (for the flowers) and Sublime and Envy (for the leaves). I absolutely love the how the texture paste looks when painted with the pearls.
