Lots of Ink Blending Techniques! Simon Says Stamp Blog Hop

I am very excited to share this card with you because it features quite a few products I designed for Simon Says Stamp’s You Are My Favorite release—including the Mosaic Petals layering stencil set, the With Thanks stamps and dies, and the Squovals nesting die set.

I used the Mosaic Petals to create the colorful background for this card, ink blended with Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Saturated Inks.

The sentiment is heat embossed with white onto pink cardstock and I added a complementing greeting underneath in dark blue. I ink blended green and blue onto the new Exquisite Butterfly die, which looks so pretty flying up the card! The card is framed up with one of the Squovals dies for a beautiful finish.

SSS knocked this release out of the park & you used many of the new products on this card and they all made for a great card. Those dies are AMAZING, the stencils are a great size for adding background interest and that Butterfly die is full of detail. Thanks for sharing your card Nina.
