Elegant Sweetheart - Simon Says Stamp Smitten AND Sweetheart Release Blog Hop Day 2

 Good morning! Excited today to be joining in on Day 2 of an incredible blog hop to celebrate AND the BRAND NEW Smitten AND Sweetheart Releases from Simon Says Stamp! Make sure and check out all the inspiration with this new release AND link up your creations as you receive your orders HERE and HERE in the Galleries created just for this release! And check out the graphic below to receive a FREE Hearts and Stars Stencil with any purchase and the coupon code below through January 14, 2024 - while supplies last (code expires at 11:59 PM EDT)!!! 

For my card today, I used several items from the new release! I started off with the new Heart Banners layering stencils. While they are designed to layer together into a banner shape, I just randomly used layers and mixed them around to get a random background - I didn't want the specific straight lines, and since I was using all of one color family of inks to blend, I wanted them to actually overlap. Love versatility! I added the beautiful frame with Ornate Borders and Frames stamp set, stamped in black, then the new Sweetheart word die, cut from gold cardstock for the detail layer, and white for the shadow layer. I layered it all on a background piece of coordinating colored cardstock that I added some texture to using the new Tessellating Snowflakes 3D embossing folder, a secondary sentiment from the previously released Elegantly Modern Greetings. Finished off with a few Pinkfresh Champagne Clear Drops!

    Love that you used the Heart Banner layering set to create a non-banner background. It's good to have other ideas to use with this stencil other than the obvious. Your color choices are soft and sweet-great for anyone receiving this. I also like that you used the fancy border around the outside. Such a seemingly simple card, but very pretty.
