Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge
Thank you for joining us for the April Showers/Spring Flowers Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.
We will be back soon with the name of the lucky winner of the $50 Voucher
This week the challenge is
MAKE YOUR OWN BACKGROUND
We are showcasing MY FAVORITE THINGS PRODUCTS this week. You don’t have to use them to join in but if you have some we would love to see them used
As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store
I just got a bunch of new goodies this week from MFT so this challenge was perfectly timed! I fell in love with the new You Gnome Me set and thought the small brick stencil would make a perfect background. I used Distress inks in Fired Brick and Old Paper to stipple a brick effect onto some white card stock and then stamped and coloured one of the gorgeous gnomes in Distress markers. I die cut the flowers and stems from the Spring Garden Die-namics set and paired it up with a little fence and grass from Taylored Expressions. The frame was cut from woodgrain cardstock using the Stitched Rectangle dies from Simon Says Stamp.
So now it’s YOUR turn. Happy Crafting
