Believe in You_Blog Hop_1080-01

Welcome to Day 2 of the Simon Says Stamp Believe in You Blog Hop! If you missed Day 1 of the hop, you can see all that fun HERE. You can see the entire release HERE. You should have arrived here from the blog of the amazing Bibi Cameron, if you have missed any of the stops on the hop, you can start at the main post on the Simon Says Stamp Blog. 

Simon Says Stamp is very generously giving away a $25 coupon to EVERY stop on the hop, so be sure to leave a comment on all the stops. The winner will be posted on the Simon Says Stamp blog on Wednesday, July 31st. To see even more inspiration, be sure to check out Facebook Live on August 6th at noon EDT! It's always so great to see all of you there.

I have 3 different cards to share with you today. The first one is using the Sunflower Frame die. For my card, I cut the die out of yupo paper, and colored it in with Ranger Alcohol Inks and a very small paintbrush. I added foam tape and adhered to a card where I had adhered a panel stamped with the You Matter background to really let the flower shine.

For my second card, I used the Faceted Stripes Stencil. I used Distress Oxides and blended a soft palette of colors through the stencil, added some small sprays of water to get those lovely water dots and then added plenty of Nuvo drops in coordinating colors. I finished off the card with a simple CZ Design Thanks die and a sentiment strip stamped with the Simple Sentiments 2 stamps.

Cheiron thanks

For my last card, I used the jellyfish from the Never Quit Swimming stamp set….and the "what the Jell" sentiment combined with a simple Hey Die cut from the CZ Design Hey Wafer dies. I created the background with lots of layers of watercolor, some splatters and a spray of iridescent shine.
