SSS To Be Loved Release

It's a release day at Simon Says Stamp!  The To Be Loved release is now live and is filled with all things love, and some Saint Patty's Day too.

Today's cards feature the new Funky Hearts stencil set.  This is a set of four stencils, two create the wavy squares background, and the other too add hearts in those wavy squares.

For my first card, I kept things pretty simple.  I used just two inks:  Bubblegum and Peony.  The first two stencils to create the wavy square design were lightly inked with those colors.  I then used the same colors for the hearts, but a heavier hand, although I still kept things pretty light.

The Love You More sentiment was cut from pink cardstock, adhered to a shadow piece cut from white cardstock, and then popped up with foam tape.  Really quick and easy.

For the next card, I thought it would be fun to use just the two basic stencils. I again used just two colors, this time Cantaloupe and Lilac.  After an initial basic inking, I did some stencil shifting.  The first stencils was shifted slightly in one direction, inked with the same color, and then in the other direction and inked with the same color.  You need to keep a very light hand for this.  The same process was repeated with the second stencil using the other color.

The Sending Good Vibes sentiment was die cut twice, from white and a light orange, and these were offset over a shadow pice that was cut from white and then inked with Lilac.  The completed sentiment was popped up with fam tape.

Be sure to head over to Simon to check out the full release.  I'll be back tomorrow to share some cards featuring my newest stamp set.
