…Always have, always will.
Hi readers! Happy Saturday! I hope your 2015 is starting off wonderfully! Our pal Kelly Rasmussen is back on our blog today as a guest and I just love her clean, pretty, & simple approach to card making. This lovely card is of no exception and I absolutely adore the sentiment. Read on to find out tips and tricks to make your own version!
Enjoy!
Hello! I’m thrilled to be back as a guest on the Simon Says Stamp blog. My card today features some awesome Hero Arts and Simon Says Stamp goodies!
I created the grey background using the Simon Says Stamp Tiny Spaced Heart Stencil along with some translucent embossing paste. The texture and shine that the embossing paste added is stunning!
The awesome sentiment is from the Hero Arts Bits & Pieces clear stamp set. I just trimmed the messages apart and rearranged it to fit the vertical format of my card.
Then I used the heart die from the Simon Says Stamp Surely Stitched Heart Die to create a little window to allow some yummy Doodlebug sequins to peek though.
I think this is a great card to give a loved one for any occasion — an anniversary, Valentine’s Day or any day of the week!
