Hello! There's something brand new in my collection today -- Simon Says Stamp Deco Blossoms. It's not at all like anything else in my toy box so that's why I was drawn to it. I ordered it with the matching die set which cuts the blossom panel, the individual blossoms, and the corner flourishes. It's fun to play with, whether simple or fancy. I guess I went a bit fancy this time.
I stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black and layered up using old-timey Spellbinders dies and a not-so-old-timey Spellbinders 3D Tile Motif embossing folder. The blossoms were die cut and colored with Copics. They're not popped up, but they're shaped a little. The sentiment, as well as others, came with the set.
Challenges today:
Triple B August Challenge -- Always birds, butterflies, or blooms.
Thank you for visiting! Have a craft-happy day!

Pretty card and stamp/die set. I’m shaking my finger at you BIG GRIN. Have a great day
ReplyDeleteWow! What fun. Gorgeous colors and love all the different elements.
ReplyDeleteYour card is BEAUTIFUL Leslie, but you're going to laugh when I tell you my story! I received this stamp set as a gift with my order from SSS, and when I saw it, all I could think was what in the world would I even do with this set?! I even thought about throwing it away! After seeing your card I'm so glad I didn't throw it away!! I guess I just needed to see how to use it, and you used it beautifully! I love your coloring and the intricate die cutting and also that lovely embossed background...it all worked out so perfectly together! Lovely, lovely card my friend, and if I ever get time to play again (lots of issues with my mom) I will definitely be using this set...thank you!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteYou do fancy well, my friend! This is so pretty with the black and white and golden yellow! I love how you shaped the flowers and the background embossing is perfect! Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteFancy and oh so schmancy! I love the drama of the deep black stamping and your choice of colors for your new blooms, Leslie! It's giving me Autumn vibes!
