Simon Says Stamp is our sponsor again this week. If you aren't familiar with them, they are truly a one-stop-shop! They have great customer service and speedy shipping. For my card today, I heat embossed four of the small flowers from the Always and Forever Stamp Set on watercolor paper. I used Distress inks to watercolor them. I usually use the large flower and leaves from this set so it was fun to use this smaller image this time. I cut each flower out with the smallest die in the Quadrangle Frames Wafer Dies set. I also cut out a black cardstock frame for each flower. For the card front, I inked up a piece of watercolor paper with Distress ink and then ran it through an embossing folder. After die cutting the sentiment and a coordinating mat, I popped it up with fun foam over the card front. This entire panel was matted with black cardstock. Small rhinestones finish off the card with some sparkle.
The fourth flower provides some interior decorating.

Addicted to Stamps and More - Anything Goes
A couple weeks ago, I received some happy mail from Simon Says Stamp. It was a stamp that is being released today as part of their Reason to Smile release. I love this Gingham Background stamp and have so many ideas running through my head on how to use it! I had to ink it up right away and was thrilled with how well it stamped right out of the package. Here's a pic of that first stamped image:
I made a 4-bar card today using this pretty stamp. I stamped white cardstock with Memento ink and then used the A2 Curved Edge Die to cut the patterned paper and black cardstock mat. I die cut the Thanks Die four times and stacked them for dimension.
A May Arts seam binding bow finishes off the front.
I just had to use the stamp again for some interior decorating!

I adore the texture of the background with the added sparkle of the gems. The flowers are so pretty and love how they accent the background. Very nice!
