Sss waves_
My first card for you today is made with the new Waves background. I embossed it in white onto some Distress Watercolor Cardstock and then painted it it in using Distress Inks as watercolors. The best thing about new backgrounds is they always work with other Simon products I already have on hand and today I have paired them with the Dude die and a sentiment from the Love Messages stamp set.

Cheiron SSS round and round
My second card is made with the new Round and Round Background and paired with a sentiment from the new Say It All set. You are going to love the combo of bigger and smaller sentiments that can be mixed and matched. I stamped the background and embossed it in gold, then painted it in with lots of different shades of pink. I stamped and embossed the bigger word in gold onto a Postage Edge Frames die and then stamped the matching sentiment in Doll Pink ink. The tiny heart comes from the Love Messages set.

Your next stop on the hop is the very talented Karin ร„kesdotter. I hope you will be sure to stop at all the stops on the hop for even more chances to win your own $25 coupon! And don't forget your special code CRL898 to get your free ink pad!
