Simon Says Stamp Let's Chill Release

 Hello everyone!  The new Simon Says Stamp release called Let's Chill is now available and it is a fun one!  I have two cards to share that I made with a stamp set called Beach Huts that Simon Says Stamp was kind enough to send me!   I have to be honest I'm not great at creating scenes so I was a little nervous when I saw this totally cute stamp set.  But I decided to dive in and create not one, but two little scenes.  Take a look!

For this first card I used the little umbrella/beach towel stamp from the set.  I stamped the image in the center of my white panel and then stamped a second one on masking paper.  I trimmed out the mask and applied it to my stamped image.  I then used a very light hand to apply Antique Linen and Salty Ocean distress oxide inks around the image.   After removing the mask I colored the image very simply with Copic markers in shades in blue and red.  The sentiment and the little birds were stamped with VersaFine CLAIR Nocturne ink.  The panel was die cut and popped up on a Fog gray cardstock base.   I really love how it turned out!  Going to add this to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge. 


For this card I decided to use the little fence/beach image and the tiny surfboard from the set.  I stamped the fence with Old Paper distress ink on watercolor paper and then did very simply watercoloring with my Jane Davenport watercolors.   The surfboard was trimmed out and the little scene was die cut down with a rectangle die.   I stamped the sentiment using VersaFine CLAIR Morning Mist ink for a soft look.  The surfboard was popped up and then I adhered the panel to a panel of kraft cardstock that I wrapped with some off white twine.   Everything was then added to an off white cardstock base.  Super happy with how this simple little scene turned out!

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to check out the new release right here.
