Day 2 of a Blog Hop for the new Rain or Shine Release from Simon Says Stamp!

Welcome to Day 2 of the blog hop for the Simon Says Stamp Rain or Shine Release. Today I’m sharing a simple design but also gives you a great way to play with both backgrounds and scraps of cardstock!

For my panel, I used a piece of 80lb white cardstock and used the Clouds for Days stencil plus Bubblegum and Melon inks to blend on color, leaving part of the clouds white. The orange/pink sky is cute, huh?

The Whimsical Branch Frame Wafer Die set could be used for every season and many occasions.

Everything else was very easy to cut out an ad using some scraps of card stock that I had for the leaves and flowers.

I don’t have a video for this card as I just created it for fun the other night when I was watching TV and hanging out in my craft room.

    Wow! That’s a big collection. I love the little whimsical animals; they are so cute. I like the soft color inks and the cloud stencil. The Hoppy Birthday bunnies are my favorite, and they would make an adorable card using the Argyle Builder stencil set. I received a package from Simon Says Stamp today, which included some of your (CZ) products. LOVE! Have a fabulous weekend!
