Hi there! Today I’m sharing a project that I’ve created using the fantastic new April 2018 Card Kit called Beautiful Day.
To begin I used the Butterfly Stencil along with several Distress Oxide inks to create this colorful background.
I die cut an oval window using one of the Stitched Oval dies and stamped a sentiment using the Beautiful Day stamp set. I finished it off with several Nuvo Jewel Drops in coordinating colors.
Here’s a video to show you how I created this card.
Don’t you love the bright & happy colors in this month’s kit? It’s right up my alley:) You can check out more information on this month’s kit over on the Simon Says Stamp blog. Thanks so much for stopping by!
