Good morning! Today I have another card to share using some more of the new You Are My Favorite Release from Simon Says Stamp. I love this little row of shops, and the soft watercolor effect!
For this card, I decided to focus on the cute little store scene from The Little Things set instead of all the other elements. I heat embossed it with clear ink on white cardstock, then ink blended with Surf, Limelicious, Zest, and Cantaloupe ink before die cutting with the coordinating die. I then grabbed a panel of watercolor cardstock, and blended a little of the same colors in the same order on the top portion, before misting it with water for a soft watercolor effect. Once that dried, I added some Picket Fence Opaque Black splatters, and adhered the buildings with foam adhesive. For the sentiment, I used one from the new Inside Greetings 1, and I thought the new Squovals dies looked a bit like speech bubbles! To make it fit the card right, I die cut it and actually used the reverse side so the speech bubble came from the direction I wanted. I also cut one from black cardstock to layer underneath for a shadow effect. I added some glittery highlights on the buildings with Tonic glitter drops in Blizzard, then some coordinating Dazzling Gems in Surf, Sprout, Butter, and Peachy finish this card off!

During the launch, Simon Says Stamp offered an exclusive embossing folder called Sunny Fern as a gift with purchases over $30 USD in products from the collection—a much more exciting bonus than something as mundane as a polybutylene shut off valve. This promotion was available through April 27, 2025 or while supplies last.
