Congratulations Meghan and Harry!

With most of us having Royal Wedding fever I took a break from watching TV to make a quick congratulations card! 

I used a gorgeous Visible Image Grungy Union Jack Stencil and Worn Lipstick and Broken China Distress Oxide Ink 

I used a Tim Holtz Congratulations Sentiment and heat embossed in silver. I finished with some die cut hearts and silver string!

Simon Says Stamp 'Star Stream'

Have you seen the latest 'Sending Sunshine' release from Simon Says Stamp? Oh my goodness, it is full of all things gorgeous! 

I was sent a few samples to use and absolutely LOVE this Star Steam Die, isn't it fabulous! This is perfect for so many occasions! Perfect!

For this first card I also used a new Deco Diamonds Background Cling Stamp and white heat embossed to create a resist. I then blended Broken China Distress Oxide Ink over the top and splattered and spritzed with water. When it was dry I used the Star Steam Die to create the 'wave' and also used the die to cut out the design from Simon's Exclusive Teal Glitter Card 

I used a sentiment from a Simon's Exclusive 'Seeing Stars Clear Stamp Set and silver heat embossed. 

For my 2nd card I started with some watercolor paper and smooshed it in Faded Jeans Distress Oxide Ink.  I die cut the Star Steam from Simon's Lemon Chiffon Card and added a few dabs of Star Dust Stickles 

The sentiment is from the same Simon's Exclusive 'Seeing Stars Clear Stamp Set

And I finished the inside

 I used an Under The Sea Clear Stamp Set and Coordinating Dies, a Stitched Rectangle Die Set and a Waves Stencil  to make a super cute shaker and a matching envelope.

Tip: Before using a stencil spray the reverse side, very slightly, with Repositioning Spray Adhesive 

I started with some white watercolor paper and stencilled the waves with Salty Ocean Distress Oxide Ink (what else!) and then spritzed and splattered with water. 

I coloured the sealife with Copic Markers and used the seaweed from Dina Wakley Scribbly Fishies set.
