It's the most wonderful time of the year, time for the Simon Says Stamp DieCember™ 2015 Release! I just love the dies in each Simon Says Stamp release and these are no exception. The super sweet Heidi at Simon Says Stamp was generous enough to send me this gorgeous Heart of Roses die to work with. I see so many possibilities for this one - Birthday cards, Valentine's Day cards, Mother's Day cards or just because...
I cut two dies to make my card, one with all the inside pieces intact and watercolored the shapes that would normally be cut out. I cut out another heart, and layered the die on top of the previous piece.
There is lots more DieCember™ fun over on the Simon Says Stamp Blog today...stop by and check out all the designer's projects with the new releases. The hop today is informal, you can go to any blog in any order that you wish. below is a list of the creative people who are participating. Happy hopping!
