Lorraine's Loft: Simon Says Stamp To Be Loved Blog Hop Day 2!

Hi there!! are you here for Day 2 of the blog hop? If so you should have arrived from the super talented Lea Lawson's Blog, if not you might want to start at the beginning on the Simon Says Stamp Blog.

If you missed yesterday's hop you might like to start there! CLICK HERE for Day 1!

I am thrilled to be asked to be part of this hop and the lovely peeps at Simon HQ sent me some lovely products to play with!

First up is this fun Gay Pride inspired card and envelope set. I used a gorgeous Lined Heart Clear Stamp Set and an Outline Hearts Stencil Set

I colored the stripes with Copic Markers and smothered with Hero Arts Iridescent Earth Safe Glitter (every little helps) For the background I used the Outline Hearts Stencil Set along with Pawsitively Saturated Inks: Carnation, Citrine, Morning and Limelicious. I used black ink to add random sentiments and white heat embossed one for the front. I added a few Pawsitively Dazzling Dusk Gems and iridescent string to finish.

and I made an envelope to match.

For this next card I used a CZ Designs 'I'm Sorry Stamp and Die Set Bundle and a Funky Hearts Stencil Set. I used Pawsitively Saturated Carnation Ink for the hearts and used one of the stencils to emboss the funky lines design using a Big Shot.

I added a little extra interest by stamping 'sorry' in all of the hearts, stitching along 2 edges and adding some Iridescent String and a heat embossed a sentiment.
