Delightful Card


Morning, all! Kristina here with another card. :)

I hope you all had a chance to check out the new Simon Says Stamp dies during the blog hop yesterday. So many fun card! Loved them all!

For today's card, I wanted to use a couple of the dies as well. I used the Fresh Daisies and Meadow Rue dies. I love how detailed and intricate the dies are. :)



To make the die cuts pop, I used some bright Distress Inks to create a watercolor look behind them. Super easy!

Anyhow, enjoy!

    This card is gorgeous! I have to get that Simple Circle Cutter - I had no idea that something like this existed. I have wasted so much paper in the past trying to get perfect circles (and I do have a circle cutter but it's no good).

    That water color technique is fabulous. I never get tired of the results from using various inks. It's like powder embossing: there's always that "aha" moment! VERY pretty card. The hop yesterday convinced me to put these dies on my list. You've convinced me to move them to the top.
