Sending Love & Hugs - A Delightful Card with Simon Says Stamp!

Welcome, crafty enthusiasts! 

Today, I'm so filled with excitement to share a card I created using the March Simon Says Stamp Kit. From the moment I received this kit full of goodies, I couldn't wait to get my hands inky and unleash my creativity!

This kit is a dream, packed with exclusive elements that will have you reaching for each piece to create a quite a few beautiful cards.

Here's a peek inside the kit:

• Mix & Match Butterflies Stamp Set: Featuring charming butterflies.
• Mix & Match Butterflies Single Wafer Dies: For precise cutting of stamped butterflies.
• 6x6 Designer Paper: Patterns to add a touch of personality.
• Variety of Cardstock: The perfect foundation for your creations
• SF319 Dibble Tile 3D Embossing Folder: Adds delightful texture and dimension.
• Craft Tacky Glue
• Cool Tones Pawsitively Dazzling Gems

Now, let's take flight with my card design!

Began by heat embossing the largest butterfly from the stamp set with gold embossing powder, creating a stunning metallic effect.

I used my Oxide Inks to ink blend the butterfly, adding vibrant hues and depth and using the wafer die, I cut out the butterfly. Set aside.

Cut out a 3.5" x 3.5" circle and embossed it with the Dibble Tile 3D embossing folder, adding a touch of texture. On a piece of white pearlescent cardstock, I stamped the sentiment "Sending love & hugs" from the stamp set using Memento gold ink. 

a closer look of the supplies used: 

I carefully layered the embossed circle and sentiment onto my card base, using a green border and aqua cardstock layer for added visual interest. Using double-sided foam adhesive, I popped the metallic butterfly onto the embossed circle, creating a beautiful focal point. 

The sentiment was then placed below, and the green border added a finishing touch. To accentuate the card, I added a few rhinestones above the sentiment, adding a touch of sparkle. 

Finally, I used Glossy Accents to highlight the butterfly's wings, adding an extra layer of shine and dimension.

I absolutely love how this card turned out! 

It was a fantastic opportunity to practice my Oxide Inks Blending technique again, and I'm thrilled with the results.
