Hello crafty friends! I am BACK after a long break. I am an event planner and volunteer coordinator during my day job and we had our big convention this past weekend so I was super busy prepping and preparing for that.
I have a beautiful card to share with you today using the Winter Seals Rubber Stamp Set from the Peace on Earth Release. Here is a list of supplies I used on this card…
- Simon Says Stamp – Winter Seals Rubber Stamp Set
- Simon Says Stamp – Large Blending Brushes
- Simon Says Stamp – Big Momma foam Tape
- Simon Says Stamp ETCHED EUCALYPTUS WREATH Wafer Die
- Simon Says Stamp Dot Tape Roller
- Simon Says Stamp – Gold Embossing Powder
- Simon Says Stamp – CHUNKY SWEATER Stencil
- Distress Oxide Ink – Rustic Wilderness
- Gina K Connect Glue
- Green Card Stock
- Red Card Stock
- Tonic HONEY GOLD Mirror Card Satin Effect Cardstock
- Stampin Up – Foam Strips
- Neenah Classic Crest 110 lb card stock – card base
I started by grabbing a dark green cardstock and ink blending the Rustic Wilderness distress on to the Simon Says Stamp – CHUNKY SWEATER Stencil. I wanted to create a subtle background so I decided on tone on tone.
Next, I inked up the seal stamp that had this lovely sentiment on it and stamped it on the same colored cardstock using Versa Fine embossing ink and dusted it with Simon Says Stamp – Gold Embossing Powder. I LOVE watching embossing powder melt. Its so satisfying! The words were popping enough for me so I took my blending brush that I use for black and gray and ran it over the letters, hopping it would help them pop. I cut the seal out using a circle die.
Up next I used the Simon Says Stamp ETCHED EUCALYPTUS WREATH Wafer Die and cut it out of a complimentary red color. I cut it out twice so that I could loop the design to make it a little fuller around the seal. I popped the seal up giving it some more dimension but glued the wreath down flat.
I finished the card by cutting out a frame of Tonic HONEY GOLD Mirror Card Satin Effect Cardstock and used thin foam strips to pop it up. I assembled the card and viola!
