Simon Say Stamp - Arched Borders Card
Hello Lovelies! I changed my mind and decided to do a blog post for this sweet card. I made it for my hubby's birthday; don't worry, I am safe, he never reads my blog posts! LOL!!!
A little while ago, Simon Says Stamp released Nested Domed Arches Dies and now in the Yay You release I snagged the Domed Arches Stencils which coordinate with them. I used the stencils to create a little tunnel with love blooming deep inside using a mostly monochromatic color scheme in my husband's favorite color...blue. I know, I know, super corny, but I couldn't help myself!
Let's take a look at the key supplies for a very blue card that is full of love:
