Simon Says Stamp In My Thoughts Botanical

Hello Crafters, and welcome back to my blog! I appreciate you stopping by to check out today’s project featuring the Big Botanicals from Simon’s latest You Are My Favorite release. Let’s not waste time, and get right to the details!

NOTE: all supplies are linked in the thumbnails at the end of this blog post.

I began this project by stamping the flower portion of this stamp using Sunbeam ink, and the leaf portion using Limelicious ink. I just used a Post-It to mask off the areas, so nothing super technical. I then used Copic Markers Y15, Y18, YG05, YG17 and YG23 to add color to the stamped image. I also went in with some colored pencils to add some extra detail to the shaded areas.

Once I was done with the coloring, I fussy cut the image out. As a note, there are coordinating dies for this stamp set, in case you aren’t a big fan of fussy cutting. My background panel was cut using the Postage Stamp Edge Frames and splattered with some gold ink. Once the splatter was dry, I stamped the sentiment, which is from the I’m Sorry set, using VersaFine Onyx Black ink and heat set using Ranger Clear Embossing Powder.

My panel was adhered to the card base using foam tape, and the floral was adhered using foam strips. I did add a few gold embellishments to tie everything together.

That does it for this project! A relatively clean and simple design for this one. I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope it inspires you to get crafty in your space! Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you have an awesome day!
