simon says stamp: hello beautiful release blog hop (day 1)

Hello Beautiful_Blog Hop GWP_1080-01

Hello there crafty friends! I am super excited to once again be joining Simon Says Stamp in a blog hop to celebrate their newest release – Hello Beautiful.  You should have arrived here from the blog of the amazingly talented Sidnie DesJardins

Before I share my card with you today, I want to point out the special code in the graphic above that will give you a FREE Rose Trio 6 x6 stencil with any purchase (while supplies last) – good until 02/28 at 11:59!

Today I have created a slimline card combing the Lavender Garden stamps and the Capital B Beautiful die…which is the perfect size for slimlines. I cut the panel from TIm Holtz Distress Watercolor Cardstock. Then I stamped the stamp from the Lavender Garden stamp all the way across the base of the card in Gina K Whisper Amalgam ink. Some of the images will overlap, but they will get colored over with the loose watercoloring. 

Cheiron beautiful hop 1_
I wanted to keep this card fairly simple, so I did some loose watercoloring with Distress Ink Reinkers and a waterbrush. I used Shaded Lilac, Wilted Violet and Seedless Preserves for the Lavender and Bundled Sage, Cracked Pistachio and Twisted Citron for the greenery. I put a tiny dot of reinker of each of these colors onto my Glass Mat and picked them up with a water brush to loosely color them in.

I cut the Capital B Beautiful die from White and Gold Glitter card stocks and adhered them together with Liquid Glue, then adhered the entire piece with foam tape.  To finish the card, I trimmed a sentiment strip from the CZ Design Reverse Gratitude Sentiment Strips and added a few clear droplets.
