I’m using one of my favorite color combinations today… Ripe Persimmon, Picked Raspberry, and Seedless Preserves. And for something different, I inked it diagonally.
The Big Thanks die is new by Simon Says Stamp – it’s the perfect size and contains a coordinating shadow die. I popped up the negative of the shadow so my sentiment was beneath. Here is a close-up:
Enjoy the video and have a great weekend!

Hi Darlene, love your color choices! That is a really great way to use the shadow die too! Have a great weekend!😎

This card is so striking, Darlene. This is one of my favourite colour combos too. Really a beautiful background stamp and love that shadow die. Hope they plan to bring out others like that too. Most effective. Enjoy your weekend!
Cheryl
Beautiful color combo. Love this card!
Andrea
I also really love the color combo on this card, Darlene! And such a neat idea to have the greeting kind of inset below the surrounding die cut. I’ll have to keep that in mind. Definitely going into my favorites list. Thanks so much for sharing this. Have a great weekend, and try not to roast in this Texas heat! 😺😎☀️🔥 ~ Andrea

Andrea summed up my thoughts well. I loved the greeting being inset, on my favorite list and love the background stamp. Would love to see more with the stamp 😉 I’ve used it with copic markers, relaxing and coloring at night to tv, and with zig markers too. Have a great summer! Hugs
