Simon Says Stamp | Jungle Encouragement Card

Hello, friends! I was so excited to finally get my hands on the new Simon Says Stamp Tropical Leaves stamps and dies! I really love these type of images and couldn’t wait to ink them up!

Like this project? Remember to pin it and save for later!

These are color layering images (for the most part) and that makes them so much more unique! I love the fact that they still look awesome even without the second detail layer, so if you aren’t really into color layering – you can still use these.

Now if you are staying away from color layering images because you don’t have enough colors/shades of ink – don’t worry! Here I used a gray ink pad for the detail layer on green leaves – and it turned out awesome! I want to test using gray as a top layer some more to see if its going to work every time.

I stamped a bunch of leaves and cut them out using matching dies. For the sentiment, I went with Be Confident, Be Brave, Be Amazing and heat embossed it in Simon’s Antique Gold embossing powder onto a white die cut created with the help of the new Stitched Banners dies.

There is plenty of dimension here – I popped up a lot of leaves and also the banner and some images using a double layer of foam adhesive.

To make the leaves pop I used a dark card base, I went with brown this time (instead of usual black) and I love the way colors look a lot more vibrant here. I embellished the card with a few clear drops and sequins.

P.S. I mentioned I love tropical theme! Here’s a link to a set of cards I did with a hand stamped tropical pattern. There’s a video tutorial there as well!
