Hello creative friends! Welcome to Day 1 of the Hello Gorgeous Release Blog Hop...you should have arrived here from the blog of the wonderfully talented Barb Engler. Have you checked out the brand new Hello Gorgeous release from Simon Says Stamp? Before I share a few cards with you, please note the CODE (HBD322) in the graphic above...this gift with purchase is valid while supplies last or until 3/27 @ 11:59pm.
Today I have 3 springy yet totally different cards to share with you using tons of new and fabulous products from the new release. My first card features the new Delicate Floral Mandala paired with a Bold Birthday Sentiment Strip. I stamped and embossed the stamp with white embossing powder, then sprayed with Salvage Patina Distress Spray stain and colored over with Karin Markers and a Sakura Moonlight Pen.
The second card is a super simple one, I die cut the new Detail Mandala Plate and then stamped a sentiment from the XL Spring Greetings set with Versafine Clair ink and embossed it. Then I stamped the flower from the same set in 3 different colors. After I stamped the flower in each color, I embossed it with Distress Embossing Glaze.
And for my final card, I used the same Detail Mandala Plate and colored it with Distress Spray Stains. I added two of the new Tattered Leaves dies cut from white and some shimmery sequins, and finished it with the CZ Design Here for You die, from the Good Luck Charm release.
I hope you found a style you enjoyed!
