Cards Simon Says Stamp

Let’s Chill Release Blog Hop Day 2

Hi friends! It’s Day 2 of the Let’s Chill release blog hop from Simon Says Stamp! We have a ton of inspiration to share with you today. Be sure to also visit the Let’s Chill gallery for more inspiration.

Today I’m sharing a card I created using the Butterfly Dreams stamp set.

I started by creating these circle elements on my card using the Circle Masks stencil and blending brushes.

I ink blended on Sunbeam and Sweets ink from Simon Says Stamp.

Next I stamped my butterfly images using Versafine ink.

I added a bit of sparkle to the butterflies by coloring them in with a Nuvo Shimmer Pen.

I finished off with a sentiment from the Reverse Sentiment Strips Just Groovy.

Bright, cheerful and easy to create!
