Simon Says Stamp – Hello Gorgeous!

Hello Crafty Friends! I have a card for you today using a new backgroud stamp from the Hello Gorgeous Release from Simon Say Stamp! I am so in love with this background!

Here is a list of supplies I used to make this card…

• Paper
  • Neenah Solar White 80 lb Card stock
  • Neenah Classic Crest 110 lb card stock – card base
• Dies
  • SSS – Basic Box Card Die Happy Birthday
• Stamp
  • Simon Says Stamp – Delicate Floral Mandala
• Ink
  • Simon Says Stamp Intense Black Ink
• Markers
  • Ohuhu Alcohol Markers in Various colors
• Tools
  • Simon Says Stamp – Big Momma foam Tape
  • Simon Says Stamp Dot Tape Roller
  • Teflon Bone Folder
  • Gina K connect Glue

I started by stamping the image in Simon Says Stamp Intense Black Ink which is an alcohol friendly ink! I let it dry while I cut out the Happy Birthday Sentiment from Neenah Solar White 80 lb Card stock. I cut it out three times and then glued them all together to create a little depth. I loved the white on white sentiment for this.

Once I had the sentiment assembled, I set it aside and grabbed my stamped panel. I went a head and heat set it just to make sure the ink was good and dry so it wouldn’t smear. Once it was dry, I went a head and started coloring the panel, starting with the pale pink for the back ground. Yes, I did color the whole background but I love this look when its all done!

Once I had the coloring where I wanted it, I assembled the card to the card base and added the sentiment with some foam tape and viola! I had so much fun coloring this stamp set and I can’t want to use it more!
