Simon Says Stamp In My Heart Blog Hop - Day 1

I'm so happy to be participating in day 1 of the Simon Says Stamp In My Heart blog hop. I hope you get some inspiration and enjoy the giveaway and a special offer for this blog hop. This gift with purchase will expire March 22nd at 11:59 pm will supplies last.👇👇👇 
For this hop I will be sharing two projects using the gorgeous Gerbera Daisy Background stamp that I am showcasing with different techniques. You can decide which way you would like to try! I had a lot of fun creating each one.
This first technique I used is to stamp the Gerbera Daisy background stamp onto watercolor cardstock using white embossing powder. I heat se the stamped image then trimmed it down to fit an A2 size card base. Then I used distress inks and a waterbrush to add color to each daisy for a whimsical watercolor look. 
I used one bow dies from the new Little Bow die set cut from red cardstock to add as a focal point for my sentiment which was stamped in red ink. To add shine I added clear sticky ink over the sentiment and heat set it with clear embossing powder. This is done easily with a stamp positioner.
The second technique I used is stamping the Gerbera Daisy stamp onto white cardstock with alcohol friendly black ink. I waited a minute for the black ink to dry, then I used copic markers to color in each flower for a dimensional look. I think it looks so dramatic to add black ink in between each flower to really make them pop! I cut a frame and the sentiment from white cardstock as to leave the background the star of this card.

    I like both of your techniques. A full background stamp seems an easy way to build a card, and I like the look of the scrolly frame as a topper.

    Thought both cards were spectacular. Didn’t realize my last comment would be anonymous. Is that something you could fix or most of your comments will be anonymous. Thanks.

    Gerbera Daisies are one of my absolute favorite summer flowers, their colors are so bright & happy. I was thrilled to see the new Gerbera Daisy BG stamp. Your two cards each one made via a different technique perfectly showed off the individuals flowers & the overall stamp. I especially love your second card, those little pops of black peeking through really made the colors pop, like how some scattered pots filled with Gerbera's pop on a deck or porch. Thanks for sharing your beautiful cards.

    Very pretty cards. I am not good with Copics, but you have created a beautiful card front. I think I can do that first technique, so I'll give it a try. Lovely pair of cards.

Welcome to the Simon Says Stamp Blog party . Today I am sharing three fall themed projects using goodies from the STAMPtember release . 👇Special promotion exclusive for this post!👇 The first project features the Twisted Tree Arch die set , Haunted Pumpkin die set and the cute Trick or Treat 2 die. I used a lot of ink blending and die cutting for this project. I used a cloud border stencil and distress ink to create the background. The trees was cut from dark brown cardstock and everything else was cut from white cardstock and colored with distress inks. Next, I used the gorgeous Mod Forest Embossing folder to create the colors of Autumn. I also used the new Be Patient die cut from gold cardstock. I embossed a white piece of cardstock and used a small blender brush to color in the "valley" side of the embossed panel with distress inks and then dragged a brown ink pad directly over the colored trees creating the distressed autumn scene with a few inks splatters. So fun! Last,...
