Simon Says Stamp Cheering For You Blog Hop Day 2!






I was thrilled to be asked to join in with Day 2 of the Cheering For You Blog Hop! Thanks Heidi, Susan and all at Simon Says Stamp. The latest  'Cheering For You' Release is absolutely fabulous!

You should have come here via Lisa Addessa's lovely blog! If not you might want to start at the beginning at the Simon Says Stamp Blog 

I made a couple of cards to share today, for this first one I used a super cute 'Hello' Clear Stamp Set along with a gorgeous Rolling Waves Embossing Folder 


I colored with Copic Markers, fussy cut the 'Hello' sentiment and popped it up on 3D foam squares. I machine stitched around the Rolling Waves Embossed Panel andf added a few ink splatters. I then added some May Arts Iridescent String, a few PinkFresh Studio Iridescent Color Drops and This Calls For Confetti Iridescent Light Yellow Sequins to add some extra sparkle. 


For this next card I used a lovely Sunflower Pattern Stencil Set and a Beautiful Buttercup Die Set. 

I love the Simon Says Stamp  Stencil Mat, it makes stencilling a doddle! 
I used Pawsitively Saturated Inks for the stencilling and to color the buttercups. 
I added a torn strip of vellum and stitched it in place. The sentiment is from the 'Hello' stamp set, which I white heat embossed. I finished with some PinkFresh Studio Iridescent Color Drops and This Calls For Confetti Iridescent Light Yellow Sequins and a Natural Twine bow.
