You Make Me So Happy, Simon Says Stamp

Hey everyone! Today, I am sharing a fun card I created with some of the new exclusive products from the Simon Says Stamps Celebrate Release! It is 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.

You Make Me So Happy, Simon Says Stamp

For this card, I started by creating the background. I did a little ink blending with the Dash & Dot Stencil and Cadette Pawsitively Saturated Inks from Simon Says Stamp. I ink blended heavily in the center and faded out on the edges. I used Honey Bee Stamps blender brushes (that I store in my favorite brush caddy), and whenever I am ink blending I love to use the Ink Stands to hold my ink pads. As always when I use stencils I used the Make Art Stay-tion. I also use a small mister bottle filled with Isopropyl Alcohol, to quickly clean my stencils with a Flour Sack Cloth.

I then die-cut a few of the scalloped frames from the Daisy Oval Frame Die and Pixie Dust Sparkle Cardstock. I adhered these to the background in a grid formation.

Next I stamped a girl from To The Happy Couple set, and colored them in with Copic Markers. I stamped out image from the Happy Couple set onto Neenah cardstock with Lawn Fawn Jet Black ink. I used the Copic markers below to color the images. With the swatches below, you can easily substitute them for similar colors or even a different coloring medium. If you are interested in learning more about Copic coloring or alcohol marker coloring, be sure to check out my Copic 101 class here.

I die-cut out the girl. For the sentiment, I used Happy Combos and stamped them with Cadette Pawsitively Saturated Inks. I added some Prisma Glitter to her dress and the sentiment with a Quickie Glue Pen.

I added the images and sentiments to the card with foam squares and strips.
