Hi folks! I've got your daily dose of Simons Says Stamp Peace on Earth release inspiration.
Today's card features some of my very favorite dies from this releasee. The Laurel Leaves Background Plate is so pretty and I love the detail in the leaves. It's a little hard to see in the photos, but I started by taking a green piece of cardstock as well as a dark blue, and inked the outsides of those panels so it has almost a glow in the centers.
Once that was done, I die cut each of the panels. And actually, I die cut the panel twice from green cardstock.
I added some gold splatter to the blue panel, and once that was dry, inlaid it into the uninked green die cut piece. Then I adhered the inked piece over top, but didn't fully adhere it. I wanted some of the leaves to be free, giving it some more dimension.
Then I pulled out the Joyous Christmas die set. I cut the base from blue (inking the cardstock with that same dark blue ink before I die cut it), and the detail sentiment from that fantastic new Gold Matte cardstock.
The finished piece was then popped up over the background.
Just loving the brightness and contrast in this card, and it was really a pretty simply card that can easily be mass produced, especially if you simplify it a little. For example, if you remove the inking step it's really just a matter of die cutting/assembly.
See you back here tomorrow for some more Peace on Earth goodness!
