friendly frolic...

Morning!  It's hot and slightly miserable around here lately and I suppose I'm jumping the gun a bit, but I feel like crafting for Fall!  I used supplies from Simon Says Stamp's new Friendly Frolic release on my card today...such a fun release!

The new Friendly Frolic Diamond Pattern Wafer Die is beautiful and you can see it here, used as my background.  I cut it from scarlet cardstock, layering it over cream cardstock.  I added melted enamel splatters using Shabby Green Embossing Enamel from Stampendous.

Over my background, I added fun toppings using patterned paper and stamps from Carta Bella's new Fall Break collection.  Oh how I love this sweet new line....makes me happy!  To create a patterned paper border in coordinating colors, I used Fall Break paper along with the Spellbinders Lily Pearl Flat Fold die.  

I brought in texture and dimension by die cutting leaves from corrugated and glittered cardstock, two of my favorite elements.  Next, I stamped my sentiment from the Fall Break stamp set on a tag cut using the Round Top Tag from Reverse Confetti and then added a few enamel dots to finish.

Supplies listed for you below and lots for you to enjoy on the Simon Says Stamp blog.

Have a wonderful Friday!
