Happy Mother's Day

Guess what I got in the mail this past week - you guessed it the new Simon Says card kit. 

It is amazing!!!!  I totally love everything that came with it:
1 Simon Says Stamp Exclusive set of stamps designed by Kristina Werner "Best Mom Ever"
1 Sheet of 8.5" x 11" Neenah Solar White Cardstock
12 Sheets GCD Double Sided Designer Papers
1 Fancy Die Cut and Embossed Card Front
1 Foot String of Pink Hearts Ribbon
1 Foot of Lace Trim
1 Sheet of Elle's Studio Custom Design Cut Outs
35 Chipboard Hearts from Maya Road
1 Webster's Pages Pocket Envelope
1 Bottle of Ranger Liquid Pearls in Petal Pink
1 Sheet 8.5" x 11" Bazzill Vintage Pink Cardstock
1 Sheet 8.5" x 11" Bazzill Rock Candy Cardstock
1 Sheet 8.5" x 11" Bazzill Taffy Cardstock
1 Sheet 8.5" x 11" Bazzill Butter Mints Cardstock
1 Sheet 8.5" x 11" Bazzill 40# Vellum



My favorite item is the Stamp set. The roses on the card below are embossed black or red on white card stock and then colored in with the opposite color using CTMH Z2305 Black or LePlume II No. 65 Cherry.  On the "red" rose I chose to leave a little of the white showing giving the effect of a "Fire and Ice" rose.  If you have ever seen them they are exceptional.  The red card is from DCWV and is A2 (standard size) matchbook card

The center of each rose has been stamped, cut and dimentional tape added to adhere it to the larger part.   All parts of this card are made using the May 2013 Simon Says card kit unless otherwise noted.  Thanks for stopping by, be sure to leave a comment or two. Have a great week, happy crafting.
