Reach for the Stars - Simon Says Stamp Believe in You Release

Hello! I'm stopping by tonight to share a card using some of the BRAND NEW Believe in You Release from Simon Says Stamp! There is also a 2 day blog hop coming up this weekend, so make sure and check back for that - as always, there will be giveaways at every stop, and tons of inspiration on each day as well!

My first card to share tonight uses the fun new Lunch Box Notes 2 Stamp Set and a distress ink galaxy background!


I started off by stamping and heat embossing my sentiment in white on a panel of white cardstock, then masking off the edges using Post it Tape. I then blended a mix of 3 different colors of Distress Oxide inks over the panel, then added some splatters of water, white paint thinned with a bit of water, and some Starry Colors for a bit of gold.


 I removed my mask, and once it dried, I carefully wiped any excess ink or splatters of my sentiment - the heat embossing perfectly "resists" the ink, and removes easily! I finished off by mounting the panel on a cardbase created with Hero Arts Plum Cardstock - such a lovely shade!
