I love this Prima stamp set called Bayou Flowers. It has a lovely sketchy design and stamps beautifully. I used the purple inks from Altenew for the different layers and love how they turned out.

I used the fabulous Starlight stencil from The Stencil Girl to add a subtle texture to my base card before layering on some gorgeous blooms from Altenew’s Layered Lily set. I adore the images in this stamp set and the love how they look against the pretty background (created with Avery Elle Lemon Grass ink – my current favourite colour to use). I made good use of my MISTI for this card too – it really helps me when creating layered images and placing sentiments too – can’t live without it!!

Simon Says … Anything Goes

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

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

This week the challenge is

ANYTHING GOES

We are showcasing Altenew 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

It’s Anything Goes week again and this week I’ve been at it again with the MISTI and some FABULOUS multi step stamps from Altenew. I love this stamp but I don’t think I’d use it if I didn’t have the MISTI – it takes ALL the effort out of it! I didn’t have the dies when I created this card (I do now) so after stamping them in some yummy Simon inks I fussy cut them and mounted them on my card panel. The splattering was done by splodging some Spiced Marmalade distress ink onto an acrylic block, spraying it with a Perfect Pearls solution and then flicking it on to the card with a paintbrush.
