I really like creating backgrounds with single dies, and Simon’s new You die was perfect for this technique! I began this project by die cutting the new SSS You a bunch of times from Neenah 110lb cardstock. I also die cut the SSS Divine Peony and did some ink blending on that using SSS Pawsitively Saturated Ink in Morning and Galaxy.
Once the ink blending was complete, I assembled the florals using liquid glue, and then decided that I wanted the leaves to be black, so I went back and cut those. To begin assembly, I cut a panel of Neenah 110lb cardstock using the PFS Diagonal Stitched Rectangles and splattered it using black acrylic ink. When that was dry, I began adhering the You die cut to cover the panel and trimming off the excess.
I adhered the leaves in place and then adhered the larger flower using SSS 3D Foam Strips for added dimension. The card was missing something, so I cut the You from black cardstock and adhered that using foam strips, and that brought things together, in my opinion. I then used the new SSS You Stamp set and stamped the sub-sentiment using VersaFine Onyx Black ink, heat set that using Ranger Clear Embossing Powder and adhered it with the same foam strips.
Once everything was complete, I adhered the panel to a black panel for contrast using SSS Dot Tape Runner, and then everything was adhered to the card base to finish up.
That does it for this card! I love creating my own backgrounds using die cuts, and I love creating beautiful flowers, so this card was right up my alley! I hope you enjoyed it! Thanks again for stopping by, and don’t forget to check out the entire Cheering for You release over on Simon’s website! Have yourself a wonderful day!
