Simon Says Stamp Shine On Release Post #2

 Hello, hello!  Where did June go?  4th of July is just a few days away.  250 years as a country!  None of my cards today are patriotic, tho.  Just the two other cards that I made using products from the Simon Says Stamp Shine On release.   Let's take a look.

This card uses the sweet Dewdrop Daisy dies, as well as the Presto Pop embossing folder.  I used some fun papers from the 49 and Market Kaleidoscope collection to create the card.   Pretty simple.  Die cut the flower and stem from patterned paper and adhered together.  Die cut patterned paper for background and emboss with embossing folder.  Finish with the little sentiment tag and a bit of twine.  Will send this one off to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge and the Die Cut Divas challenge.

So, I don't generally buy "cutesy" style stamps, but when I pulled the Botanical Buds stamp set out of the package I was smitten!  I literally laughed out loud and how could you not?   These little guys (or gals) are just the cutest darn things, ever!  I had plans to create a masked scene, but ran out of steam as this was the last card I made.  I did do some masking of the images in order to do the ink blending.  The little buds were stamped in Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic markers.  I used Mowed Lawn and Broken China distress oxide inks for the sky and grass.  I finished off my little buds with some glossy accents and Rock Candy glitter.  This card just makes me smile!

Well, that is it for me.  Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful week!
