Simon Says … Think Pink

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

Thank you for joining us for the Totally Resistible Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.

This week the challenge is

Think Pink

As you know October is breast cancer awareness month. Apart from using some pink on our creations we all need to have a good feel of our breasts and if we notice anything unusual then we need to get them checked by a Doctor. If you are due for a Mammogram, make sure to make the appointment!

This week we are showcasing Pink And Main Products You don’t have to use them for the challenge but if you have them 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

When I “THINK PINK” my mind goes to one thing … FLAMINGOES! I ADORE this layering flamingo stamp set from Hero Arts and thought it would work well with the fabulous big HUGS sentiment from the Pink and Main “Hugs Needed” stamp set. I did couple of different versions of this card whilst I had all my supplies sitting out – one SUPER pink one, and one a little more … subtle!! Which do you prefer?

Avery Elle … Holiday Spirits

Hello – I’m up on the Avery Elle Blog today along with my teamie Yainea sharing a card that’s bound to get you in the mood for some Holiday Spirits! I’ve combined two sets from Avery Elle – Holiday Spirits and Sweet Tidings to make a welcoming little scene that I’m sure anyone would appreciate coming home to on a cold, Winter’s night! Everything is coloured using Copics and to add a wee bit of festive sparkle I’ve given everything a wee dusting here and there with some Rock Candy Distress Glitter (LOVE this stuff).

Simon Says … Totally Resistable

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

Thank you for joining us for the Halloween Inspiration 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

Totally Resistible

There are so many resist techniques that we can use! We will be looking forward to seeing what you use to resist!

This week we are showcasing Impression Obsession Products You don’t have to use them for the challenge but if you have them we would love to see them used.

Aw, Christmas is definitely in the air for me (and my long-suffering family) now! I’ve started my shopping and planning and am starting to get SO excited! I have another Christmas card to share this week and thought the gorgeous Birch Block 2 stamp from Impression Obsession would make a great winter backdrop for my little deer (from Storybook by Avery Elle). I stamped it using Versamark onto vellum and heat embossed it in white. I then used Distress inks over the top to add the subtle blue background colour (that’s my resist technique). I created a frame using the Double Pierced Squares (Avery Elle) and added a cluster of sparkling clear sequins (my favourite Moonshine mix from Simon Says Stamp). The sentiment and snowflake (which I LOVE) are from the STAMPtember release collaboration with Avery Elle.
