Fan-tastic Simon Says Stamp March IG Hop

Hello there!  It's time for our monthly IG Hop featuring Simon Says Stamp products.  To hop along from the beginning start Start here

I've made a missing you card.  I used the die for a tone-on-tone embossed look by adding the diecuts randomly around the background.  And then used the same die for the focal image in a different colorful, glittered cardstock.  

Supplies:

Simon Says Stamp - Miss You die
red glitter cardstock
sequins - XO
sequins - clear

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a wonderful week!
