Simon Says Stamp's latest release

    Hi Everyone!  

I am so excited to be here to share four projects I made with Simon Says Stamp's latest release called Always There   

You can find more inspiration for the wonderful new products from this release  HERE

For my first card I used the WONDERFUL Peony and Bells embossing folder and cutting die and used Arches paper and Daniel Smith watercolors.

                                                                                   

For my second card I played with the adorable Fable sitting bear and framed him using the  Sparkler scallop frames. The background was created with the new cool Dot petal pattern stencil

Last but not least I stamped, colored (watercolors) and heat embossed the lovely floral frame from

Keep Palm and added my panel to the beautiful Sparkler scallop frames which I loooove soooo much!!!
