Crafted floral love card with pink flowers and Sending love and hugs on a bright red Simon Says Stamp promo graphic.

Hello Lovelies! If you have visited me here before, you may know a few things, I love flowers, don't always like coloring with markers and never pass up a chance to use stencils! The new Always There release from Simon Says Stamp lets me indulge me faves so I can color with the Layering Stencils on Wild and Free Love Card with minimum effort.

When I don't have to worry about coloring, I have even more fun and time to spend enhancing or embellishing my card. I chose 3 options:

Stenciling on a colored background instead of white cardstock
Repeating and rotating my florals to frame my sentiment
Emphasizing the sentiment with sequin embellishments and a dainty die-cut matching the background
Guaranteed to make the recipient glow!
