Embossed branch hearts

Hello everyone!

I’ve been playing with the Simon Says Stamp Brushed Branches background stamp today. For these cards, I embossed the image and then blended some distress oxide inks over them. I just LOVE those inks. They blend so nicely.

As Valentine’s is less than a week away, I decided to turn my backgrounds into CAS Valentine cards using a die from Memory Box and a couple of sentiments from Simon Says Stamp.

Which is your favourite??

I’m entering these into the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge (It must be love) and the Simon Says Stamp Flickr challenge (Love/hearts).

Thanks for stopping by!

Colourful Cosmos

Hello everyone!

When I saw the bright palette for this week’s Color Throwdown challenge (hot pink, lime green, yellow and pale blue), I knew I wanted to use them with the new Simon Says Stamp Cosmos background stamp. But I only purchased the stamp on release day, so knew that the stamp wouldn’t get to me in time!

I was DELIGHTED to be proved wrong when I saw my envelope from Simons on my mat this morning! Isn’t the stamp fabulous?

I stopped what I was doing and got colouring with my Twinkling H2Os and then added a few lines of Prismacolour pencils for a bit of depth. Really looking forward to playing with this stamp a lot more!

I’m also entering this into the current Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge (anything goes).

With love

Happy Saturday everyone!

The theme for the current Simon Says Stamp Flickr challenge is ‘love/hearts’ so I decided to play along using the current sketch from the Freshly Made Sketches challenge blog.

To start, I created a few backgrounds by sponging on a few layers of Tonic Studios Nuvo embellishment mousse. I then cut each of these backgrounds, plus some black glitter card, with the gorgeous Clipping Hearts die from Simon Says Stamp and slotted the coloured hearts into the black heart frame.

I added a simple black frame cut using a My Favorite Things frame die and a sentiment from Simon Says Stamp to finish off the card.

Thanks for stopping by!

Wonderful Friend

Hi there!

So today’s card is a bit different for me – I broke into my vast supply of Prima paper flowers that I’ve had for MANY years! They are so pretty, but not very ‘trendy’ at the moment. Maybe they’ll make a comeback at some point?

Anyway, I created this card using the sketch for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge. Unfortunately, I am posting this too late to submit it, but I still wanted to share it here as I am also entering it into the current Simon Says Stamp Flickr challenge, which had a theme of ‘friendship’.

The dies and stamp are by Simon Says Stamp and the embossing folder is from Spellbinders.

Silver Christmas wishes

Hi Everyone!

For today’s card, I pulled out one of the new Hero Arts background dies that I bought with the November kit – isn’t it pretty!

After embossing the image in white, I blended some distress ink over it. I mounted the background onto some coloured card – in real life, the cardstock is much closer to the shade of purple ink I used, honest!

I cut a Simon Says Stamp word die three times – once in silver glitter paper and then twice with plain cardstock and adhered the die cuts together. I added an embossed word banner and called the card finished…. well, almost!

I felt it needed a little something extra so I added some snowflakes from the Simon Says Stamp snowflake banner die as a finishing touch!

I’m entering this into the current challenge over at a Blog Named Hero and also the Simon Says Stamp Flickr challenge (anything goes).

Thanks for stopping by!
