Hi Friends! Today I’m sharing a card I created using the new Scallop Waves background stamp from Simon Says Stamp. This beautiful background stamp is one of the new products from the Believe In You release. You can find the entire collection here:
To create the background for my card, I stamped the Scallop Wave background stamp onto watercolor paper using Versamark ink. I then covered the entire image with Ranger Clear embossing powder and set it with a heat tool. When the image was dry, I colored the image with Broken China Distress Ink inking it darker from the bottom up.
Next, I stamp some flowers from the Roses for You stamp set and colored them with Distress Oxides and a waterbrush. I carefully fussy cut them around the borders.
I created a fun border at the base of the flowers using the Simon Says Stamp Sunrise Border die and added the word “Love” in the center of the card just below the flowers from the Ornate Love stamp set.
To complete the card, I added some zig zag stitching to the border.
I hope you enjoyed seeing how I put my card together and that you check out Simon’s new Believe In You release. Thanks so much for stopping by!
Looks like your blog has been hit by a bunch of spam adverts…
Love the contrast of the black wording and the black zig-zag stitching…really adds a lot to the composition.
Hi Sherry. I’m terribly sorry about the spam adverts. I’ve tried everything, so now I’m going to have to approve comments before they can be posted. Thank you so much for your sweet comments about my card. I really appreciate it. – Cathie
