Simon Says Stamp Share Every Happiness

  

    If you're reading this, first - thanks; second, I am part of today's Simon Says Stamp Instagram Hop. If you head to my tinypaperblossom account, you can comment on each maker's IG post and be entered into a drawing for a $25 SSS gift card. It's a sweet deal. 

    These adorable images from Coffee with Friends*, part of Simon Says Stamps Every Happiness release, were fun to color. I just love that 2 of the images in the set are meant to sit on the chair. I fussy cut everything here after coloring with Copic markers and other alcohol ink markers from Dick Blick and Spectrum Noir. 

    I used the following Copic markers: E41, E43, E44, Y15, YR04, C0, N0, R32. Feel free to contact me to learn which other markers I used for my blends.

    I used the Simon Says Stamp Tidepool ink and the large Pinkfresh Studio blending brushes to ink blend a glow in the center of the card. I masked off the bottom of my ink blend so that when I added the sentiment strip, the glow would not continue below it. I used Versa Clair Black ink to stamp with the 2-line sentiment onto Spellbinders Colorwheel Carrot cardstock. I used a square punch to cut the fishtail on each end of the sentiment strip. I adhered everything with a mix of foam adhesive in 2 different heights and liquid glue. Finally, I used some Poppystamp Fairy Jewels to add a bit of sparkle around the image.
