font happiness and a giveaway!

If you follow my blog, you know I LOVE new, fun fonts.  Simon Says had a stamped set in one of their latest releases called Summer Garden.  When I saw it, I instantly fell in love with the sentiments.  I went straight to Heidi and said....can I please have a sentiment set with this amazing font?  I was SO so happy when she asked for some sentiments to include in the set.  When I saw the set finished....my jaw dropped.  It is a must have people.  The images is so amazing it looks like it was truly pinned by hand!  Life has been so busy lately that I haven't had a lot of time to play with this gorgeous new set, so I am happy that I got to use it today!

First, I used the Large Moraccan stencil and some Sea Glass ink.  I intended to do some water coloring so I used this Tim Holtz Watercolor paper but ended up just doing a little distress inking.  I love the texture of that paper.  I got a little creative with the folded banner die and made the front panel a little longer.  I lined it up on a plate in the Vagabond and cut from both sided to extend the center.  I used Versafine Black Onyx ink to stamp that amazing sentiment.  *sigh* Love it!!

I popped the front panel up on foam tape and added in some Silver Sprinkles to finish off the card.  And that's it!

Hope you have all had a great week!  I wanted to let you know too....over on my Facebook page, I am going to give away a Card Hanger Die when I get to 500 likes.  Almost there!  Leave a comment over there on the Soapbox Creations page and let me know what your favorite card hanger die is.
 I have another order of dies coming in soon and also.....a new one!  Stay tuned!  Hugs!
