Simon Says Stamp 'In My heart' Blog Hop Day 2




Hi all and welcome to Day 2 of the Simon Says Stamp In My Heart Blog Hop! You should have hopped here from the lovely Anna-Karin Evaldsson's
Blog, if not you may wish to start at the beginning on the Simon Says Stamp Blog

The lovely Heidi and peeps at Simon HQ sent me a fabulous parcel of  'In My Heart' Products and in it was a gorgeous Flourish Butterfly Trio Die Set, an Impressionistic Flower Stencil and Die Set an Apple Blossoms Embossing Folder and a Best Mom Background Clear Stamp, all of which I used on this first card. 


I started by inking up the Best Mom Background Clear Stamp with Storm Grey Ink and then used the Apple Blossoms Embossing Folder  to add the texture. I simply colored the butterflies with Yellow Copic Markers and popped them on the front. I used the sentiment from the Impressionistic Flower Stencil and Die Set and a few Irridescent gems to finish. 


For this next one I used the same Best Mom Background Clear Stamp and grey ink. I used the Impressionistic Flower Stencil and Die Set  and Pawsitively Saturated Inks. 


I added a couple of Winsome Branches behind the flower and added some Irridescent Gems, Irridescent String and  the die cut sentiment to finish.




Thanks for looking!!

I love to both look at cards and to make cards, today, stopping at your page of the hop I saw two lovely cards. I am a sucker for a good background especially when it includes some text and flowers. Both of your cards had wonderful text backgrounds and beautiful floral focal images, the end result was two beautiful cards. Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful cards.
