Simon Says Stamp Stamptember Release Blog Hop (+GIVEAWAYS!)

2 Sep

Good morning!  I’m so excited to be a stop on the Simon Says Stamp Stamptember release blog hop!  I love the fabulous products in this release and how perfect they are for creating cards to encourage, support, and celebrate others!  I shared two cards using the new release yesterday (you can find them and a giveaway here and here) and I have yet another one to share today!

Together We Can Do Anything by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Simon Says Stamp

These little bunnies from Forever Friends showed up in my mailbox earlier in the week and I just cannot get over how adorable they are!  To start my card I colored them with copic markers and fussy cut them leaving a bit of a white border around them.  Then I placed the Stained Glass stencil over a piece of white cardstock and blended a little twisted citron and salty ocean distress ink over the center of the stencil to create a subtle grass and sky scene.  I stamped the first word of my sentiment from Together with versafine and heat-embossed it with clear embossing powder.  Then I stamped the rest of the sentiment on black cardstock and heat-embossed it with white embossing powder before trimming it down to a label.  I adhered my bunnies with foam mounting tape and then added my sentiment label with ATG adhesive.  Finally I finished the card with a few strawberry jewels a little spectrum noir clear sparkle on the bunnies ears, tails, and cheeks!

    Oh my gosh, those bunnies are so cute! I’m finishing watching The Secret Life of Pets and there was a bunny in there who looked so cute like your bunnies but he was like a Ninja bunny. You have to watch that movie because your stomach will hurt from all that laughing! Anyway, I digress. I have bunnies on the brain! LOL Your strawberry sparkles add the right ump to the card and I love spectrum noir on the bunnies even though it didn’t really show up. It never does but I know what it is. I love that stuff! Thanks for showing your bunnylicious card and for giving us the chance to win something. I can’t wait1

    I love the stained glass stencil! I struggle with backgrounds for smaller critters as the focal point. Yours was a perfect balance. Thanks for sharing.
