SSS Festive Fun Release

There's a new release at Simon Says Stamp today.  As you might imagine, the Festive Fun release is filled with all sorts of holiday goodness.

Today I'm sharing a card featuring this gorgeous bow image from the Old Fashioned Christmas set.  I love the size of the bow, and thought it would look great on a gift.

The bow wast stamped on some Neenah Solar White cardstock and then colored with Copics.  I used R22, 24, 29, 59, and 89.  The bow was then fussy cut.  

I also cut two strips of Neenah Solar White cardstock to use as ribbons to 'wrap' around my box.  After determining where I wanted them to intersect, I used scissors to narrow the strip in that area to mimic where the ribbon would be cinched a bit with the bow.  These strips were then colored with the same markers.

For the 'box' itself, I simply cut a panel of kraft cardstock, adding a tiny bit of inking around the edges with Cappuccino ink.  The box and the strings were adhered to my card base, and then then the bow was attached.  I used a tiny piece of very strong clear adhesive tape in the center of the bow, and then foam adhesives at the edges of the loops and tails to give it more realistic dimension.

The sentiment is from my Christmas Block Art set.

That's all for me today.  Be sure to head over to Simon to check out the full release.  I'll see you back here for a fun hop tomorrow!
