My first card today uses the new Simon Says Stamp Fall Wreath Die. This set features two semi circle leaf designs that you can put together to create a wreath. I die cut both parts from Spellbinders Brushed Black Cardstock. Using a Blending Tool, I pounced Tim Holtz Distress Oxides in Wilted Violet and Dried Marigold on top.
I then took them to my splat box and spritzed Tim Holtz Wilted Violet and Spiced Marmalade Distress Spritz on top. I felt like I lost a little of the black, so I added Hero Arts Black Acrylic Speckle on top. Whilst it was drying, I die cut my sentiment. I used the new Simon Says Stamp Trick or Treat 2 Die. I die cut it five times from Tim Holtz Distress Black Heavystock and adhered them one on top of another.
I created a US A2 sized card base from the same heavystock cardstock and adhered the wreath pieces on top using black thin foam squares. The sentiment was adhered in the centre. To finish, I added Simon Says Stamp Sea Star Sequins.
My next card uses the new Simon Says Stamp Pumpkin Blessings. There is a stamp set, as well as a stencil set to colour/ink blend the main image in the set. I started off by stamping the image onto white cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I then stamped the sentiments (there are lots of different options) onto the banners.
I coloured the pumpkins and sunflowers using Copic Markers. I then grabbed the Simon Says Stamp Pumpkin Blessings Stencils and used these to colour/ink blend the banners. I started off with a layer of Tim Holtz Gathered Twigs Distress Ink and then to add a little more depth, went in with Ground Espresso Distress Ink. The image was then fussy cut out using scissors.
I die cut the second largest die in the new Simon Says Stamp A2 Postage Rectangles Dies from Neenah Desert Storm Cardstock. I then created a mini card to adhere behind. I adhered the stamped image to the front using thin foam squares. I added a few white gel pen dots and then embellished with Altenew White Enamel Dots.
