Hello! Today is the 14th which means it's time for a new card kit to be revealed from Simon Says Stamp! The August 2014 card kit is called 'Summer Dreams' and includes bright fun colours and an awesome stamp set that screams summer with it's frozen treats and fun sentiments! ;)
Each card kit comes with a random assortment of 6 summertime embellishments from the Good Day Sunshine collection from Simple Stories. My kit had a great Ice Cream truck in it and I knew I definitely wanted to use it on a card! So fun!
The patterned papers that come in the kit are from the Bo Bunny Lemonade Stand collection. They are bright and fun and I knew they would work perfect for a fun scene using the ice cream truck.
I cut out the grass area and the sky from the patterned paper and then used a piece of Simon Says Stamp Slate cardstock to create the road area. To give them the fun curve and stitched detail, I used the Mama Elephant Landscape Trio dies to cut them out.
Since the ice cream truck and sky were so similar in colour, I layered a piece of vellum over the sky area to mute the colour a bit and make the truck stand out more. But then I didn't like how hard it was to see the clouds, so I cut clouds out of the remaining patterned paper and adhered them on top of the vellum piece.
I finished the card with some glossy accents on the center of the wheels and some glitter on the ice cream cone and other areas on the truck.
I also created another card that is over on the Simon Says Stamp blog. It uses another fun embellishment for the sentiment and a watercolour background using the Distress Markers that come in the kit.
