Hi card making friends, and happy weekend! Today I’m sharing a Simon Says Stamp Sunflower Dreams card. I combined a couple of simple techniques to create this bold, dramatic look. First, I stamped the image onto white Hammermill Cardstock with Copic-friendly Memento Black Ink and colored it with markers. Then, I stamped the entire design again on black cardstock using VersaMark Ink and heat embossed it in gold to form the detailed background. I love the striking contrast these two techniques bring together.
