Hello friends! Today I'm sharing a trio of card featuring a Big Ampersand inlay with some of my favorite Simon Says Stamp stencils, dies, and stamps as well as my favorite Pinkfresh Studio Inks. Background stenciling with a text stamped overlay is the perfect backdrop for the Big Ampersand and sentiments.

Each background was created by inking Pinkfresh Studio Dye Inks through a Simon Says Stamp stencil and then stamping over the stenciled background with the You Are Background Stamp and white pigment ink.
For the first background I applied Pixie Spray to the back of the Peony Bouquet Stencil and layered it over a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of smooth white cardstock. Pinkfresh Studio Inks in Coral Reef, Passion Fruit, Lemon Whip, Fresh Pear, and Key Lime were applied with blending brushes to build the beautiful floral background.
The You Are Background Stamp was stamped over the stenciled design with white pigment ink.
The Big Ampersand "shadow" or "outline" die was die cut from the background. The Big Ampersand was die cut from the outline design.
The background was adhered to a white top fold card base and a white die cut Big Ampersand was inlaid into the design, as well as the inside pieces of the ampersand.
The Big Ampersand was die cut from Fun Foam and the remaining stenciled piece was adhered to the Fun Foam with liquid adhesive and adhered to the design as shown.
Sentiments from the Ampersand Words Stamp Set were stamped on smooth white cardstock with Pinkfresh Studio Inks, die cut with the coordinating dies, and adhered to the card with foam adhesive.
Additional sentiments from the Ampersand Words Stamp Set were stamped on Lawn Fawn Guava Cardstock with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. The phrases were die cut with a Nested Banners die and adhered to the card with foam adhesive strips.
The card was finished with a scattering of Simon Says Stamp Mwah Sequins and Honey Bee Stamps Crystal Clear gems.
