Encouragement Cards, Simon Says Stamp

For these cards, I started by creating the backgrounds. Using Distress Mixed Media Heavystock and Distress Spray Stains in Salvaged Patina, Uncharted Mariner, and Saltwater Taffy, I filled in the background. Once dry, I embossed them with the new Dibble Dot Embossing Folder.

I then proceeded to create the sentiment strips using XL Student Greetings and embossing sentiments on vellum. I use Versafine Onyx Black, stamping the sentiment a few times, using the Misti, moving quickly, and Simon Says Stamp Ultrafine Clear Embossing Powder.

Note: whenever I do ANY embossing, I prep the surface using the Cottontail Embossing Powder Tool

I wrapped the vellum around the background and secured it with double-sided tape. I then die-cut a bunch of hearts and stars from silver sparkle cardstock and sprinkled them onto the cards.

I hope you enjoyed these cards! Remember: they are part of an inspiring Instagram hop, with lots of prizes to be had, so be sure to head on over to my instagram for those details.
