Hey all, have you seen the new Lucky to Know You release from Simon Says Stamp?
Today I'm sharing a few cards created using the Clean Line Faith set. This is a great set, and not just for Easter. But of course, I have a couple of Easter cards to share.
For this first card, I stamped the large cross with Versamark and embossed it with WOW! Metallic Gold Sparkle Embossing Powder. Then I stamped the cross again on some wide Post-It tape and cut it of to create a mask which I placed over the cross.
Using a sponge dauber, Squeezed Lemonade and Wild Honey Distress Ink, and a strip of cardstock to use as a mask, I inked rays around the cross.
The sentiments were then stamped with the help of the MISTI.
For this next card, I started by painting an ombre wash over a panel of watercolor paper.
Once that was dry, I stamped the crosses and sentiment with Versafine ink and the embossed with Ranger Frosted Crystal Antiquities Embossing Powder.
To highlight the crosses, colored them in with Copics, adding just a tiny bit of shading.
Super simple and easy.
I also wanted to create a non-Easter card with this set. Since I had my watercolors out, I created a second panel. This time, I added the wash just on half of the panel, although I added water to most of the panel when I created it.
Then after I had let the panel dry for a bit, although not complete, I went back with blue, adding a second wash from the bottom up. I didn't do this all at once because I was afraid I would get more of a green where the colors came together if I did.
Then I just stamped the sentiment in black. This is such a basic and simple card, but I think it's just right for those difficult situations.
I really love how clean this font is too.
Be sure to head over to Simon to check out the rest of the release!
