Simon Says Stamp Hello Bloom

Hello Friends, and welcome back! Sometimes I like creating backgrounds with small dies, and today’s post features just that! I paired the hello from Simon’s newer set, Paper Cut Word Mix 1 along with the Tim Holtz Bloom Colorize. Let’s run through the deets!

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

I began this project by die cutting all of the hello pieces first from black mirror cardstock and regular black cardstock. All of those were adhered together and set aside. I then die cut the pieces of the flower and leaves from pink, yellow, Fern, Forest, Sage and Beeswax cardstock. Of course I have to add ink blending, so I used Carnation, Peony, Rose, Honey, Sage and Pine for that.

Once everything was ink blended, I assembled my pieces and gave the leaves and black background panel some gold splatter. The background panel got trimmed down using the A2 Nested Stitched Rectangles before securing the hello sentiments with liquid glue. The excess was trimmed off and the panel was adhered to another black panel before being adhered to the card base.

The leaves and yellow flowers were glued in place, and the pink flower was secured with a bit of foam tape to finish up.

This project was a bit time consuming, but I absolutely love how it turned out, and I hope you do too! Thanks again for stopping by to check out today’s project, and I hope you have a great rest of your day!

Here is a list of designers participating this month:

My project got pretty detailed, and I apologize for that, but let’s go ahead and run through the details! I began by creating the background first using Distress Oxide sprays in Vintage Photo, Walnut Stain and Broken China. I did also use regular Distress spray in Gathered Twigs. I was drying my panel between ink applications, so that I would get some good color variations. Once I was satisfied with the background, I did some stamping using various Tim Holtz sets from my stash, and trimmed it down using A2 Postage Rectangles. I knew that I wanted some texture as well, so I mixed some Ranger Transparent Texture Paste with some Distress Salvaged Patina Paint and added that through the TCW Mini Well Rounded Stencil. I’m not even sure if this stencil is still available, but any stencil that you love would work just great!

For the focal image, I stamped the Floral Trims stamp onto a panel of watercolor paper using VersaFine Onyx Black ink and heat set that using clear embossing powder. I then did some watercoloring using Distress Oxide ink pads in Salvaged Patina and Walnut Stain. While I was creating my background panel, I went ahead and created another panel that I used to cut the frame surrounding the floral. That was trimmed out using the same postage set and adhered to the floral.

The background panel was adhered to a black panel for contrast, and then adhered to the card base. I added some bits from the Tim Holtz Curator Ephemera Pack, as well as some Field Notes PET Tape from 49 and Market. The floral was adhered using foam tape and some black butterflies were added to tie in all of the black stamping. The sentiment is from the Tim Holtz Theories Quote Chips set that I added some Salvaged Patina ink to and then heat embossed it with clear embossing powder to give it a bit of shine.

That does it for this project! I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope you’ll stop by again next month to find out what our featured product or brand will be! Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you have a fabulous day!
