Petal Tipped Card

Hello friends! A couple of days ago, the weather changed and I can now feel autumn in the air. I hope you had a good weekend. Lots of much needed rain fell here. It is the last day of August, which also means that STAMPtember® starts tomorrow at Simon Says Stamp. The best stamping month of the year.

It is Monday again and this week we have a Get in Shape theme at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog. Use any shape but squares. Fun! Don't miss the last project by our August guest designer Cassie Lynch.

I made a petal tipped card for this week, with fun textures and shimmer. Shaped cards are fun to make! The cardbase and front were die cut with the Simon Says Stamp Petal-Tipped Labels set. I used an embossing folder to great the pattern with the small flowers.

Apply embossing ink to Simon Says Stamp Flower Puff embossing folder. Emboss watercolor paper. Sprinkle white embossing powder on top and return the excess to the jar. Emboss.

Smear Wilted Violet and Salty Ocean on a non-stick craft sheet and mist with water. Press the paper into the ink. Then mist Salty Ocean Distress Spray Stain in a few places and Picked Raspberry Distress Spritz for shine.

Die cut with Simon Says Stamp Petal-Tipped Labels. Fold the cardbase and place the edge of the die just outside the folded edge. 

The second panel was die cut from left-over watercolor paper and misted slightly using the same inks.

Die cut Simon Says Stamp Bright Butterflies from inky or watercolored paper. Die cut the bodies from the Flourish Butterfly Trio from purple glitter cardstock.

The open card looks like this. I will stamp or write a sentiment when I have a recipient for this card. The base is die cut from Simon Says Stamp Mint cardstock.

Fold the wings of the butterflies and glue to the background.

I also added some Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Dazzling Prism Gems. The Prism gems partly take on the colors of the project, depending on the light.

The background is shimmery, but you can't see all the shimmer in the photos.

Die cut hello from Simon Says Stamp Paper Cut Words Vol. 1, from blue glitter cardstock and from watercolored cardstock. I misted the latter with a little Picked Raspberry Distress Spritz. The sentiment was stamped on the same paper as the butterflies were die cut from, using Simon Says Stamp A Little Artsy and Prize Ribbon Archival Ink.

A shaped card is a fun surprise for the recipient.
