purple onion & simon says day one

Hello Friends, Happy Day to you 🙂 I have been excited to share these mini cards with Purple Onion stamps and Simon Says phone die cut.

The sweet images make me happy. Right now Purple Onion is having a 25% off sale so you might want to check it out here.
The background was created with this beautiful stencil from Simon Says and distress ink.

In the photo below I am showing you that you really can blend quickly in a way that you will be satisfied with. Feather in some color and dampen a textured cloth with this and blot on the image.

I hope you will visit The Purple Onion blog because they have some of the best DT around. (Kelly Booth, Donna Mikasa & Alice Wertz to name a few) and I love their images especially the ones that you see today from the artist Stacy Yacula. Thanks for your feedback on Rafflecopter. I was the one that messed things up. Winner will be announced soon. Thanks for your visit! Hugs, Kathy

    I’m a fan of Stacy Yacula’s SWEETEST DAY stamps from PURPLE ONION.
    Her stamps fit nicely with the phone die:)
