Vintage Soaring Swallows Cards - Simon Says Stamp Rain or Shine Release

Good morning! I'm back with a a couple more cards today featuring some new Rain or Shine Release from Simon Says Stamp! These cards use the same supplies for a two for one design, and shows two ways to use this one fabulous embossing folder! 


These were definitely a two for one design! I started off by embossing the Soaring Swallows 3 times - once each with white, Sage, and Rainforest cardstock. I then used the coordinating die to cut the swallows out of the sage one - I LOVE how perfectly they cut, and how detailed that image is! I did some ink blending with Pine ink on the Rainforest panel, and for the sage, I applied my clear embossing ink directly to the leaves, and added clear embossing powder and heat set. A fun way to add some texture and shine! I mounted the sage panel over the white embossed panel - that way the embossed white birds showed up in the negative space, then added some white splatters, and some splatters with the pine ink, smooshed on a clear block and picked up with a wet brush. In hindsight, I would have done it before adding the white birds, but I kind of like how it turned out with the splatters on the birds as well, so it worked out! For the deeper one, I added white and gold splatters, then adhered the sage birds over the top. Added sentiments from Loving Thoughts popped up with foam, and a few of the Cottontail Embellishment mix for added shine! Here is a closer look at these finished cards and all their details:
