SSS Let’s Connect Release Blog Hop – Day 2

Hello, hello crafty friends!
Welcome to Day 2 of the Simon Says Stamp Let’s Connect Release Blog Hop. Oh, I’m so happy to be a part of this amazing blog hop! If you arrived here from super talented Heather Hoffman’s blog you are on the right track!

Are. You. Ready to enter the rainbow-coloured world? My cards will be full of rainbow colours today – just wanna say it “rainbowness.” Haha! :D
For my first card, I used the Rainbow Card die set along with the Unicorn Love stamp set. I think the Rainbow Card die set will be a BIG HIT!! I die cut rainbow & clouds from watercolour paper using the Rainbow Card die set, then applied SSS dye inks to each ray of the rainbow in order of rainbow colours:
(from the top red colour) Lipstick Red, Duckling, Green Apple, Audrey Blue and Deep Purple. I stamped a cute unicorn from the Unicorn Love set on white cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black dye ink, coloured it with Copic markers.
I die cut the Detail Petal Plate from Neenah Smooth Desert Storm cardstock, then mounted it on the same Desert Storm card base using double-sided tape. I then added all elements as shown in the picture using foam tape.
I added many of bling-bling sequins & droplets on the rainbow rays!
It is another happy rainbow card on the rainbow shaped card base. I adhered the two clouds using foam tape first. I adhered the sun & other clouds to the back of the rainbow rays using double-sided tape, then adhered the rainbow rays in place.
Oh, I love it. It makes me so happy! I really wanna send you happy hugs!!

For my third cards, I used the Cosmos Bloom die along with Detail Petal Plate die.
I die cut several cosmos from watercolour paper using the Cosmos Bloom die first, then applied rainbow coloured Distress inks to them using Blender Brushes:
(Red) Festive Berries & Fired Brick
(Yellow) Fossilized Amber & Tea Dye
(Green) Crushed Olive & Evergreen Bough
(Blue) Mermaid Lagoon & Faded Jeans
(Purple) Seedless Preserves & Fired Brick
I made a bouquet using rainbow coloured Cosmos Bloom & Eucalyptus Leaves die cuts, and then adhered on the centre of the Detail Petal Plate base using foam tape. I added stamens on the centre of each flower using PPP seed beads.
Here is another rainbow floral card with the Cosmos Bloom die. I adhered flower die cuts on watercolour paper panel, then blended the floral panel with Distress inks. I then washed the colours using a wet paint brush, added opaque white & metallic silver ink splatters all around the panel. I die cut the Detail Meadow Butterfly from ivory cardstock.
The sentiment, I used it in the Sentiment Strips Thinking of You.

  1. Gorgeous use of so many elements of the release — naughty of you! I’m wondering if I have to start avoiding design teams and blog hops — they make everything look so good! Your cards are beautiful!

  4. All of your cards are awe inspiring. I was loving the rainbow cards and then came the floral designs. Wow to everything!

  5. Fantastic cards. Love that butterfly on
    the flowers. The rainbow with some
    ribs popping out and the pile of
    colorful flowers are wonderful.
    thanks for sharing

  6. Wow, absolutely beautiful cards. I love the dimension and sparkle on the unicorn/rainbow card, but I love the layered flowers too. Just awesome.

  7. Hi, Yoonsun –
    Wow, wow, wow. I am absolutely flabbergasted at your talent. Bouche-bée, as the French might say. Merciful heavens, I just love your work!! I already liked the rainbow cards very, very much when I was scrolling along, reading. I also think the photography is top-notch. Then I got to that watercolor card of the cosmos blooms that had been watercolored w/ a pale, uncolored butterfly and my mouth just fell open. I have signed up for your blog and will be avidly following whatever you do next. Kudos on your staggeringly beautiful cards. I am so grateful to SSS for sponsoring this hop because it introduced me to you! Have a splendid day!

  8. I love these cards! You’ve used most of my favorites from this fantastic release — the Cosmos Bloom die, The Detail Meadow Butterfly and the Detail Petal plats, and I’m in love those with adorable unicorn.

  9. I adore your embellishments. I never would have thought of the cluster of beads as flower centers. And the popped up rainbow layers really add a lot of interest. Thanks for sharing! Have a fantastic weekend.

  10. Oh my word! Your cards are so perfect! I love all the color against the kraft paper and the random dimension of the rainbow in your unicorn (adorable) card. The sending hugs is just all sorts of cuteness. I love the details of your last two…the curled edges on the flowers, leaves and wings, the stamens, the splatters. Just beautiful.
