For my first card share with the August Kit, I am using the Mandy's Flower Shed Stamp Set, Modern Rose Blooms Background Stamp, Doodlebug Tiny Hearts Shape Sprinkles, and miniature Bubblegum Blus Nuvo Crystal Drops from the kit to create this one-layer background card! I can't get enough of the amazing images from the Mandy's Flower Shed 6x8 Stamp Set and can't wait to share more! Simon Says Stamp also heard you guys, and is offering the coordinating Mandy's Flower Shed dies on reserve! Thank you Simon Says Stamp!!!
One of the images from the Mandy's Flower Shed Stamp Set was stamped on Bristol Smooth Cardstock with Versafine Onyx Black Ink and then masked with Simon Says Stamp masking paper.
Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide Ink was inked in ombre with darker at the bottom and lighter at the top. The Modern Rose Blooms Background Stamp was stamped over the inked background and mask using the same Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide Ink for the tone-on-tone patterned background.
The mask was removed and the ink blending tool was used to add some color to the center of the circle shape.
Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers were used to color in the images as shown. The great thing about using water based markers over water based ink is that they are very forgiving.
A scripty sentiment from the Mandy's Flower Shed Stamp Set was stamped in the center of the circle frame. Another sentiment from the stamp set was stamped on black cardstock with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing ink before being trimmed into a thin strip and adhered to the design with foam adhesive.
The Bubblegum Blus Nuvo Crystal Drops were applied to the design as shown. Doodlebug Tiny Hearts Shape Sprinkles were adhered to the design for a little embellishment. A white gel pen was used over the colored images. I found that this works best if the water based markers are completely dry first.

I am always anxious to see what you have created when I see u in my email.
Your talent along with the other people I follow has changed my cards to the extent I'm proud to send them to my family and friends.
Learning about products that are available on line are amazing and brings my cards to another level. I am not an artist, shading makes a difference, I'm still far from close.
Thank you for sharing your gift of art.

What a lovely card!!!

It's hard to believe that this is a one layer card because you have given it so much dimension through your coloring and masking. It's fabulous! :)

I love this card. The background looks like lace, so beautiful and the all over look of this card is soft and a little vintage with a modern twist. Thank you Nichol for showing this great new SSS Kit and the wonderfull card you made with it.
