Simon Says Stamp You + Me Stamp Set
I created this card using the You + Me stamp set from Simon Says Stamp. I bought the stamps because I've been wanting to experiment with border stamping and that's what I have been doing! I used a simple color palette, black, white, and a touch of Calypso Coral. The black stripe layer was stamped using the large stripe stamp and I found it easy to line up (even though I did miss the mark once and got too close). You need grid paper when working with this to keep everything straight. I just didn't work without the grid paper. I stamped the hearts using the single heart stamp and the LOVE sentiment is also from the stamp set. I did use a ribbon on the bottom layer and I layered that on a strip of Calypso Coral. I used an older Stampin' Up! embossing folder on the bottom layer and I kept everything relatively simple. I did think of coloring in the hearts or adding some Calypso Coral ink splatters, but opted not too. I entered into the Simon Says Stamp Wedne
