Hello Friendship Cards | Ornate Alphabet | Simon Says Stamp Rest and Refresh Release

Just like the card says, Hello Friend!

Today I am finally sharing a few cards I made using the new  ORNATE ALPHABET set from the latest Simon Says Stamp Rest and Refresh Release. I love the intricate design of these letters and for some reason, they transport me to a tropical destination which is so appropriate as the release is all about the relaxation and vacation vibes.

CARD DETAILS

For my first card today I began by using the WAVES AND HILLS stencil to blend out some waves in the background using a bunch of shades of Blue Distress Oxide inks. I then stamped out the word, Hello using the ORNATE ALPHABET set. To finish off the greeting I die cut and stacked a few layers of the BIG FRIENDS die using black cardstock and then glue it to the shadow die that I cut out in vellum. I also added a few sequins to embellish the card front.

For this next card, I went with bright rainbow colors. First I stamped out the image with watermark ink and heat set it using white embossing powder and then colored in the Hello that was stamped out using the ORNATE ALPHABET letters using Zig Clean color brushes.

To finish the greeting on this card front I die cut the scripted beautiful from the HELLO BEAUTIFUL GORGEOUS die set, stacked and glued two of them together then glued it to the card front.  For fun, I used an enamel dot to dot the "i".

I hope these cards have inspired you today. Have a great day. Hopefully, filled with rest and relaxation!

Thank you for stopping by 😊

Until next time... Happy Crafting 👋
