Good morning! I'm super excited this morning to be sharing a card using some of the brand new Sunny Days Ahead Release from Simon Says Stamp! This release was supposed to happen earlier this month, but was put on hold when Simon Says had to stop shipping due to a stay at home order for the Covid 19 situation. So happy to today to not only be able to finally share this release, but also the news that Simon Says Stamp is finally been given the go ahead to begin shipping again!
Today's card uses one of the new dies in this release, along with an alcohol ink background I created last month and shared a short video of on my Instagram page. So glad to finally get it used on a card!
I used two colors of alcohol ink for the background - Botanical and Pool - as well as come Pinata Rich Gold color.
I used the brand new Outline Mama wafer die for the large word - cutting the outline image from gold glitter cardstock, and the background first from vellum (then feeling like it didn't pop enough), then from white cardstock. I actually layered them together in the end - the vellum softens the white cardstock a bit for a softer look in real life.
Added a supporting sentiment from a previous release - Messages for Everyday - heat embossed on a bit of black cardstock, then matted the front panel with white cardstock and mounted on a card base created with Audrey cardstock. Finished off with a few sparkly coordinating crystals from Pinkfresh's Essentials: Crystals Mix!
