Simon Says Stamp - 'Always There' Release - Blog Hop Day 2



Welcome to the second blog hop for the Simon Says Stamp new release called Always There. Here's a handy link to the entire new release.  Be sure to check out the first blog hop if you missed it because you're going to appreciate all the inspiration from the designers.  

I am excited to share my card below for this hop but be sure to keep scrolling after this post if you want see the first card I made using products from the release.




For this card I have used the following products:-

Willowweave Plate (new)
Moonflower Cardstock
A2 Frames
Dreamy Blossoms Embellishment (new)
Sunblush Flowers (new)
Fable Mouse (new)
Beautiful Day (sentiment only)

I took an A2 panel of the dreamy Moonflower Cardstock.  I used the gorgeous Willowweave Plate to die cut white cardstock and I adhered the die cut to the Moonflower panel. I framed it out in white with a frame created using the previously released A2 Frames die.

The Willowweave Plate can also die cut little flowers and leaves which I made from green and white cardstock.  I glued the itty bitty blooms together and then in place within the Willowweave background and then I used the pretty new Dreamy Blossoms Embellishments and glued one in the center of each flower. These embellishments create beautiful, delicate dimension.




I used the new Sunblush Flowers Die to die-cut white cardstock and form all of the different parts of the flowers.  I ink blended the parts using Distress Oxide Inks in Bundled Sage, Mowed Lawn Fossilized Amber, Tea Dye, Tumbled Glass and Shaded Lilac.  I assembled the flowers, glueing each piece in place, then I backed them with foam tape and applied to the background.




I die cut white cardstock using the Fable Mouse Die.  I added some pink to the ears and cheeks and black where they eyes are, then assembled the parts with glue and used the white mouse to hide the bottom of the stems, applying with foam tape and to complete the project I stamped the sentiment borrowed from the Beautiful Day stamp set and applied the sentiment strip with foam tape and so that the mouse is perched on top of it.

Heidi will have this and many other cards to share with you on her Livestream today at 12 noon (May 28th), so be sure to tune in or catch up later. Thank you for stopping off at my blog.  Please continue to hop along by using the list below.
