Hello! I am back at it with another card using the July Card Kit from Simon Says Stamp! I couldn’t put the boho ink colors away after my previous card so I had this vision of stripes of the color after being inspired by a save the date I received in the mail. I used the following colors again and the Concord and 9th Peek Through Patterns. This specific stamp set isn’t available on Simon Says Stamp, but I found a similar one offered by Concord and 9th called Brushed stripe.
The colors I used are…
I started with the lightest color and worked my way in a loose rainbow order to fill the background. Once I had the panel complete, I trimmed .25 inch vertically and horizontally. I let the panel dry (over night because I ran out of craft time!) and then the following morning I grabbed what I consider the half circle floral from the Garden Greetings Stamp Set and my white embossing powder. I lined it up and stamped it using my Versamark Ink and my white Simon Says Stamp Embossing powder. I made sure that there was no excess hanging around before I heat set it.
At the time, I didn’t think I was going to heat set the sentiments as well right to the panel. I originally was going to stamp them on another piece of cardstock, cut them out and then pop them up! But I liked the look of the one layer card, so I grabbed the two sentiments from the Garden Greetings Stamp Set and also embossed them in Simon Says Stamp Embossing powder.
I finished it off using the sequins that were included in the kit. I love this little pack of sparkle because it had two different sizes to the bling. I really enjoy when there is multiple sizes.
