Leafy Stencil Two Ways - Simon Says Stamp

Good morning! Stopping by today with a couple cards using some supplies from Simon Says Stamp - I'm mainly featuring a stencil set from a recent release that was too pretty for me to resist! Once my order with it arrived, I couldn't wait to ink it up for my cards! I used it two different ways to create cards with entirely different looks!

The stencil set is called Stems and Leaves, and since it was a pretty delicate stencil, I used a touch of Pixie Spray on the back of it to hold it in place. First I inked it up in an ombre fashion with Rhubarb, Apple, and Cranberry inks, then misted over it with Fossilized Amber Distress Spritz for a bit of sparkle - hard to see in these photos, but it is glamorous! For the other card, I skipped the inking, and just spritzed it with the same, which gave a more subtle effect. That one seemed perfect for a sympathy card, so I added a sentiment with Vintage Garden, then added a thin white mat, and mounting on some Lawn Fawn cardstock. The second card, I trimmed down slightly, mounted on a white cardbase with a rounded corner, then added a die cut hello using the Simple Hello die and So Very Black cardstock, with a secondary sentiment from Reverse Bold Hello Sentiment strips. Finished off with a few Gold Gems for sparkle! Here are more photos of these cards:
