   Hi Everyone!

AND - Here's the link to the release is here: https://www.simonsaysstamp.com/collections/to-be-loved 

I just LOVE and ADORE the Exotic Blooms dies. It is just a flower die but you can create so much with it. Here I chose to use it for some pretty bookmarks. I simply diecut them from watercolor paper and colored them using Mijello Mission Gold Water Color Palette. Then I added them to Botanical Bookmark s ( cut from the same watercolorpaper) using adhesive tape.

 

The products I used were from the To Love Release. You can find more inspiration for the wonderful new products from this release HERE:

I also made this sweet Valentine's card using the super Adorable Friends Furever stampset. I stamped the image using distress ink (Vinatge photo) and then watercolored the image. The heart window was diecut using the pretty Nested round hearts.
