More from the SSS Good Vibes Release!

27 Jun

Good morning!  I have a couple more cards to share using the Simon Says Stamp Good Vibes release!  If you haven’t checked out the release yet I highly recommend that you do!  As you can see here and here I can’t seem to stop playing with it! 😉 And of course I have one more hibiscus card to share!

Hi by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Simon Says Stamp

This is probably my simplest card using the hibiscus frame but it might be my favorite!  I just love those summery hot tropical colors!  I started by blending Candied Apple, Picked Raspberry, Carved Pumpkin, and Squeezed Lemonade distress inks onto a piece of strathmore bristol smooth paper.

Hi by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Simon Says Stamp

While the distress ink was drying I die-cut the Hibiscus Frame die from gold glitter paper and the sentiment using Everett Letters from black cardstock.  I adhered the hibiscus with liquid adhesive and used foam mounting tape for the sentiment and the flower center!

Miss You by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Simon Says Stamp

My second card uses distress oxides and the pretty Debra wafer die!  For this card I blended distress oxides in blueprint sketch, picked raspberry, peacock feathers, and wilted violet onto a piece of strathmore bristol smooth paper and then I spritzed it with a water bottle to create some lighter splatters.

Miss You by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Simon Says Stamp

I die-cut the Debra panel with black cardstock and the sentiment twice, once with gold glitter cardstock and once with black cardstock.  Once the oxide inks were dry I adhered the Debra panel with liquid adhesive.  I kept the black cardstock sentiment intact and added a piece of scotch tape behind the rectangle to keep the outline from shifting.  Then I adhered it with foam mounting tape and added the gold glitter sentiment words on top!

Pretty simple cards but I think the ink blending really makes them stand out! 🙂 Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful Wednesday!

❤️❤️❤️ My friend @lstein0 is a miracle worker! Rogue is very much NOT a cuddly lap cat. She’s happy to come to you when she wants attention but she never wants to lay next to us. Until she discovered the soft and comfy blanket Lisa crocheted for me...and she loves it enough that she’s willing to share it with me and actually rest her head on my leg! 😱😱😱 Also pictured, a VERY jealous Gambit as that is usually where he lays. 😂 #tortiesofinstagram #torties
