Flower Dies from Simon Says and Update

 Simon Says Stamp released a bunch of really pretty flower dies this year, and I confess to splurging on them. Let’s take a look at a few of them!

First up, the buttercups colored with Copic markers and placed on an embossed circle.

Second, a background made with Distress ink and water spatters highlights the Cosmos Duo dies. A bit of Stickles on the sentiment strip and flower centers adds a bit of sparkle.

The Delicate Wildflowers dies were colored with my new set of blending brushes (also from SSS). The background is embossed with a script folder.

Finally, we have the Sunrise Stem die, similarly colored with SSS inks and blending brushes, embellished with some bling and a textured embossed background. 

So much fun and all going to Karen’s Card Shop!

News Since my Last Post, If You’re Interested

Well, I did not get the full time teaching job but do have three classes this term. I’m fine with that.

My mother-in-law passed away suddenly. She was battling pancreatic cancer. I’m not fine with that. Not at all. 

I preached my sermon on care, and if you’d like to see it, check out THIS LINK. The experience was both meaningful and fun, but Pastor Joe watched and noted my southern accent came out. I’m fine with that. 

Mercy, grace, peace, and love,

Susan
