Simon Says Stamp Yay You Release!

Hello and happy Wednesday everyone!  The new Simon Says Stamp Yay You release is now live and it is fabulous!  Simon Says Stamp was so kind and sent me a beautiful new foil and cut set called Sketched Anemone.  I used sentiments from the Simon Says Stamp Brushed Flowers and Sunflower Garden stamp sets.  Affiliate links are listed at the bottom of this blog post.  Using my links allows me to earn a small commission at no cost to you.  Thank you for your support.   I have three cards to share today.  Let's take a look:

 For this card I foiled the flower using bright pink foil and the leaves using green foil.  The flower and leaves are on one plate so it was a little bit of a trick to get the foiling done well, but I managed.  Once the foiling was done I die cut the image with the matching die and then colored everything with Copic markers.  I decided to use a "go to" layout and then filled in the space with the branches die cut from vellum.   I used the SSS Etched Berry Branch die and the leafy die from the Flower Bundle die set.  I arranged everything and then stamped the sentiment from the Brushed Flowers in VersaFine CLAIR Nocturne ink.  I adhered everything on my die cut white rectangle panel and then finished with pink rhinestones from Pretty Pink Posh.  This card fits the Card Concept challenge so I will be adding it to their gallery.  I would say that it falls in the clean and layered category. 

This was actually the first flower and leaves that I foiled when I started creating with this new foil and cut set.  I thought it would be fun to do a sort of monochromatic look with the images so I foiled everything with black foil.  Before I die cut the flower and leaves I added some light ink blending using inks from the Altenew Rock collection.  The two inks I used were Industrial Diamond and Silver Stone.   I embossed SSS Fog cardstock with the SSS Blossom Field embossing folder.  I trimmed the embossed piece down to fit an A2 card front.  I added the flower and leaves to the center of the panel and then added the silver pearl embellishments to the flower center.  The sentiment from the Sunflower Garden stamp set was heat embossed in silver on vellum, die cut and adhered to the card with rolled up glue dots. 

The final card was created using the leftover foil.  As you can see the foiling didn't turn out perfect, but I decided to move forward with the card in my embrace of imperfection!  I used the Blossom Field embossing folder on this card, as well.   The sentiment from Sunflower Garden was heat embossed in black on vellum to keep the black/white theme going.
