Free Gift: Check out this amazing free die you receive with any purchase, all you need to do is use code GNOMIE at Simon Says Stamp.

Using distress water color cardstock I created a very soft background usuing Antique Linen and Speckled egg. I always create my backgrounds in layers drying in between using my heat tool. After it was completely dry I stamped Ledger Script using hickory smoke archival ink.


After I went over the stencil with crackle paste I worked on adding on distress embossing glaze. I did work really fast and managed to get it before the paste started drying. The colors I used are all on the supply list below.


I die cut the gorgeous Clustered leaves die from the To The Moon rlse using Bazzil vellum and for the sending smiles die I die cut the sentiment using glitter cardstock and the background with black kraft-stock which I sanded down to show off the kraft underneath.


I roughed up all the edges using the distress tool and blended on vintage photo.

I popped up the panel on a sheet of kraft-stock which I sanded down to show the kraft paper in random spots. Really love this paper…it is quickly turning into my favorite cardstock. Glued down the vellum clustard leaves and the sentiment on top using foam tape.

Hi, there –
With or without the vellum, this is one fantastic tableau! Wow, it’s gorgeous! It’s good to have a large floral design handy on so many occasions as it lends itself well to many sentiments. TFS –
