Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge. Thank you for joining us for the Funny/Punny Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too
This week the challenge is
Anything Goes
We are showcasing Spellbinders 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.
My hubby’s favourite alcoholic drink is a Negroni (yuk)! So when I saw the Spellbinders Love on The Rocks die set I knew I could create his favourite tipple in card form for Valentine’s day. Of course there was no appropriate sentiment available so being a huge pun lover, I thought up my own and printed it onto my card panel!! I have to say – I’m chuffed with myself at getting not just one but TWO puns in on the same sentiment!!!
I created a panel from Distress Watercolour Cardstock and used the smooshing technique (smoosh some Distress ink – I used Wild Honey and spray with water then lay the paper down to pick up the ink). I die cut the panel using Simon Says Stamp Stitched Rectangle Dies. Once it was dry I printed my sentiment onto it.
I die cut all my pieces from the Love On The Rocks die set using gold foil card for the glass and shades of orange for the drink. To give the drink a bit of “movement” I ran the die cut piece through my machine using the Cobblestone Mini Embossing Folder from Tim Holtz. The orange slices are from the Spellbinders Market Fresh collection and Simon Says Stamp has a similar one here. I coloured some watercolour cardstock with Distress inks (Carved Pumpkin, Spiced Marmalade) and die cut them. I added some Glossy Accents for a more “juicy” appearance!
I adhered everything onto an orange card base with some gold thread under the die cuts and added some heart droplets to finish.
As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $25 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store

No, no, no. DEI may be dead, but i did not expect to see NEGROnly on a card on the SSS blog. No!
A negroni is an Italian cocktail named after an actual person named Negroni!! Negronly is a pun meant with humour based on the name!! I’m sure he couldn’t help the fact that those letters were in his name!!
