Hi there! Today I’m joining Simon Says Stamp for their Hello Gorgeous Release Blog Hop!
Both of my cards feature the Oblique Spheres Stencil Set. For this first card I used the spheres with Seafoam, Surf, Marine & Royal ink.
Both cards used the CZ Spring in My Step stamp & dies for the sentiment and Back to Basic Gem Stickers for embellishemnt.
For this card I used the reverse masks in the Oblique Spheres set with Peony, Carnation, Bubblegum, Melon & Lemonade ink. I added a vellum leaf accent using one of the Olive Leaves dies.
Here is a video showing how I created these two cards.
GIVEAWAY!
