SSS June 2016 Card Kit plus OCC GIVEAWAY - Handmade by Heather Ruwe

Welcome. Today I have a few cards to share using the June Card Kit from Simon Say Stamp…

More details of the kit can be found HERE

It’s called, “Look for the Miracles” and I really like the bright colors. I made two cards using an embossed resist technique and overlapping ink colors…

Before I get to the cards, I want to share where I got my inspiration. I loved this sheet of patterned paper in the kit and used it as a jumping off point to get started….

To create the cards, I stamped the flower images in the stamp set using VersaMark ink on to a piece of white cardstock in the kit. Then I heat embossed them using THIS embossing powder. I created two different sized circle mask using THIS masking paper and THESE dies. I picked circles that were slightly bigger than the flowers. I applied different colors of distress ink (since they blend so well) with THIS blending tool and layered the color on top of each other. Where the two colors meet, a new color is created!

For this card…

I used Squeezed Lemonade and Picked Raspberry Distress Inks.

For this card…

I used Squeezed Lemonade and Peacock Feathers Distress Inks.

I finished off the cards by stamping the sentiment on to a vellum circle and heat embossing it for some shine. Here’s a closer look at where the the two ink colors overlap, creating a new color…

I added the enamel dots to some of the flower centers. I made sure that the vellum circle would intersect with one of them so I could hide adhesive behind it to keep the vellum in place. This is a trick I learned in the Clear & Sheer Class from Online Card Classes. Speaking of Online Card Classes, how about a giveaway?!…

It is hard to pick a favorite for both of your cards! Both of them are gorgeous! I love the new colors created by overlaping the Picked Raspberry and Squazzed Lemonade 🙂 This Kit is fabulous too!

I really like the pink and green card because the colors are so vibrant and I like the contrast between them. They are both darling cards. Great job!

Wow, absolutely gorgeous! I love the vellum circle! Your cards are even prettier than the patterned paper inspiration! I don't know how to choose – I actually love both of them! If I had to pick one, I'd say the pink, only because pink is my favourite colour. Love both, really! Thanks for another awesome giveaway!

Gah! Love these. Great idea. Must try. And I like the blue/yellow one. Which is strange for me, NOT a blue girl. 🙂
