Glitter Me Silly

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge. Thank you for joining us for the Sweet Treats Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.

This week the challenge is

Use Patterned Paper

We are showcasing Doodlebug 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 decided to go for a monochromatic look this week. One of my favourite patterns in design is black and white stripes – but I don’t use it on cards all that often. So with this week’s patterned paper challenge I thought it was the perfect opportunity to pull out this paper pack.

Although it’s a Halloween themed paper pack, the Monster Madness collection has some designs that are just perfect for any day of the year.

I kept the design quite simple and added texture using the gorgeous Simon says Stamp Wiggle Glowers Embossing Folder. For my focal point I used the Simon Says Stamp Birthday Wishes Dies and finished it off with a bow from the Pretty Bows Dies Set

I thought with the Summer months within spitting distance, it was the perfect time for chocolate dipped strawberries! I love this adorable little Sweet Strawberry Stamp Set from Lawn fawn and the co-ordinating stencils make colouring SO EASY!

I used an older Lawn fawn paper pack to make a gingham panel (very summer picnic in the park don’t you think?) and the Simon Says Stamp Happy Combos Stamp and Die set for the sentiment. A touch of Glossy Accents on the chocolate is the perfect finishing touch!!

One of my favourite recent Simon Says Stamp goodies that I couldn’t wait to snap up is the Pocket Mushrooms Die set from the Festive Fun release. I have a thing for toadstools and mushrooms so this set went right into my basket! I created a card mat using the Scalloped Frame dies from Honey Bee Stamps and adhered it to my card. I stamped a floral background stamp (retired but similar to THIS one) and embossed in white then lightly coloured it using a water colour technique and distress inks. It has a shimmer spray over the top for a bit more sparkle!

The oval scalloped frames are a retired Avery Elle set but Simon has lots of other options HERE to recreate it! Finally I die cut and coloured the mushrooms and used a white gel pen to add dots. The “greenery” is from the Tim Holtz Vault Festive Wreath die set

Don’t forget for this week only there is a $50 gift voucher up for grabs to spend over at the  Simon Says Stamp Store
