Good morning! Today I've got a couple cards to share using some more of the Simon Says Stamp Friend Like You Release! They also mix in a few older releases - and I love how they all work together so well! I used a new-to-me supply as well that I have fallen in love with!
On a recent Simon Says Stamp order, I picked up a set of Gansai Tambai Granulating Watercolors. And my-oh-my do I love them! I pulled out the Dahlia Background stamp set, and heat embossed it with Gold Pearl embossing powder on watercolor paper. Then I simply grabbed a single color of the watercolor, and dabbed it everywhere on the background image, adding a concentration of color on the flowers. Then I just let them dry, and the magic happened! Such a fun way to get a magical background! I die cut a window out of the center using A2 Arches die, then used a couple of those same dies together with Honey Gold cardstock to create a simple thin frame to put around the edges. I popped those panels up with foam on a Cream cardbase, then added sentiments in the center using CZ Inside greetings 1 stamp set. It felt like they needed a little something extra, so I die cut some greenery using Winsome Branch and Delicate Leafy branch on white cardstock, then some Ivory Glitter cardstock flowers using Poised Primula die. I added coordinating Dazzling gems in Bubblegum and Lilac to the centers of the flowers to finish off - and if you look closely, can you spot one of those gems that somehow shifted? I didn't notice until I was editing photos - and I did fix it, but didn't want to redo all the photos, and figured it wasn't really a big deal! Haha! Here is a closer look at the finished set:
