Nothing screams summer quite like the classic combo of bright yellow citrus and Mediterranean-style blue tile! Today, I’m sharing a zesty, summer-themed friendship card from Simon Says Stamp's Every Happiness Release guaranteed to brighten anyone’s mailbox. This project combines deep embossing, ink-swiping, and smooth stenciled blending using the Simon Says Stamp Squeeze You collection and the Bedazzled Embossing Folder. Let's break down how this cheerful card came together!

Acrylic Markers are my latest crush and though I could have colored the whole card with them, I had my eye on my new purple ink cubes from Simon Says Stamp's Always There Release. Coloring embossed designs has become as familiar as stamping and coloring these days and there are so many ways to do it, but today I have a matching stencil for the Blooming Beauties Embossing Folder to help me make a floral faith card.
