Simon Says … Hint of Pink with Hero Arts

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

Thank you for joining us for the last week’s challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.

This week the challenge is

Hint of Pink

This week we are showcasing Hero Arts 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

As soon as I saw the words PINK and HERO ARTS together I knew I had the perfect stamp set for this challenge. The Colour Layering Flamingo set is possibly my favourite Hero Arts set of all time. I’ve used it so much and I’ll never get bored of it! For the background I stamped one of the images from the Brushtrokes set from Tim Holtz in Cracked Pistachio Oxide Ink. I spritzed some gold Heidi Swapp shimmer over the top and set it aside to dry. Meanwhile I stamped my flamingo using 3 different Simon Says Stamp inks (listed below) using the MISTI to make sure everything was lined up perfectly and added the beak and legs in Smoke ink. I die cut the Hugs from black glitter paper using the Avery Elle Simply Said: Hugs die and cut a strip of MFT striped grey paper before assembling everything on the front of the card. I finished it off with a few little dots of Nuevo jewel drops in Rosewater here and there.

Water Colouring with Distress Oxides and a video!

Hello – I’m popping in with a rare post that has nothing to do with a design team!! I don’t often get time to make cards other than for the design teams I’m on (Avery Elle and Simon Says Stamp) but today this card is a “just for fun” card using a stamp set called Hello Lovely by Concord & 9th that I’ve been coveting for AGES!!

At the same time as getting this set I also got other happy mail in the form of my latest order from Simon Says Stamp and in it there were some DISTRESS OXIDE INKS! Yes, been dying to get hold of these since I saw them at CHA in January. So anyway, here’s a couple of cards I’ve made with this stamp set. The first uses the Distress Oxides as a water colouring medium (LOVE) and on the second I kept it simple and coloured just part of the design using a couple of Zig Clean Colour Real Brush Markers. I even created a video too!!
