Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge
Thank you for joining us for the Anything Goes Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.
This week the challenge is
Photo Inspiration
The lovely Jenn Shurkus made this lovely mood board for us to follow, you can use the colors, pictures, whatever you like to create your project. If it’s not obvious please let us know what element you used in your write up.
We are showcasing our very own Simon Says Stamp 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
Isn’t that collage just so inspiring?! I can totally see why Jenn picked these photos – just so dreamy! For me the thing that jumped out most was the driftwood images. I pulled out my MFT Wood Plank background stamp and stamped it in Surf Blue (how appropriate) and then over the top with with Memento Desert Sand. I love the aged effect you get with this double stamping technique. I used the same two colours to stipple the “sunshine” die cut before inlaying back into the frame die cut. Ahh, summer – how I long for you to come (yes, I know it’s July but in England that means nothing, lol!!)
Gorgeous, Caryn … those lovely pastels create the impression of a fabulous sun bleached retreat … what a delicious scene! Anita 🙂
Anything with wood planks is a winner to me. Your woodgrain looks so realistic. Love the addition of the little blue sailboat to your focal image, Caryn!
Beautiful pastel design, Caryn!
*mwah*
