Simon Says Stamp 'Friend Like You' Release!!

Resurrecting the ol' crafty blog for a VERY exciting reason.... 

Simon Says Stamp's New Release - Friend Like You 

(Full release detail at bottom of post)

I was thrilled to be asked to design with one of the stamp sets from this release called 

Wildflower Cuttings.... gorgeous, no?!

For me the gorgeous images and clean sentiments in this stamp set spoke of understated elegance, which of course guided my design process. 

When I was done playing, I ended up with a clean and simple set of cards and tag.

To highlight these fabulous cuttings, I knew I wanted to keep the design simple and let the cuttings take center stage. 

For the two A2 cards, I opted for the silhouette stamping style in bold black ink over a subtle Concord & 9th ballet slipper ink blended masked area.

The square card in simple black and white could be whipped up in a jiffy, yet still packs an elegant punch.

The tag was created by randomly/repeatedly stamping the gorgeous branch stamp on a panel and die cutting with a tag die. I inked the seam binding and sentiment tag with ballet slipper ink for subtle contrast.

This is such a stunning stamp set, I know that I will be turning to use it for many occasions!
