Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge. Thank you for joining us for the Shake It Up Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too
This week the challenge is
Cute and Cuddly
We are showcasing Newton’s Nook Designs 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.
I started by creating a Rounded Rectangle card panel and used the Newton’s Nook Cascading Stars Stencil with Distress Cracked Pistachio Oxide ink to blend a background. I went over that with some Distress Translucent Texture Paste and set it aside to dry.

I die cut a frame using Avery Elle Rounded Rectangle dies (retired but a similar effect can be created using these Stitched Dies from Waffle Flower).I backed this with a square of vellum .
I then took the Avery Elle Pop Up Frenchie stamps and stamped him in black. Then to make him “cute and cuddly” I coated the black areas in Thermoweb Transfer Gel using a paint brush. After letting this dry for a few hours I ran it through my Minc with Black Velvet Flock Transfer Sheet. It leaves a gorgeous fuzzy feel to it!

As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $25 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store
