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.

Touch of Pink HA

Avery Elle … Punny Pantry

12.04.2017 by Leave a Comment

This week over the Avery Elle Blog I’m sharing a card created with the fabulous Punny Pantry Stamp set.  This set is so fun and allows you to whip up quick and funky cards in no time at all!  I created a wee 4 bar sized card from white cardstock and used the Simon Says Stamp Tiny Dots stencil to create a subtle pattern to the background using Avery Elle lemon Grass ink.  I then die cut a scalloped frame from the Scalloped Pierced Rectangles collection

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

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

This week the challenge is

Things With Wings

I LOVE the bright and bold colour combinations you always get with Doodlebug products.  They’re both at CHA last year was one of the cheeeriest, happiest places to be – everything was just so fun!  For my card I wanted to combine a couple of the papers from the Springtime paper pack and added a simple bold sentiment from Avery Elle’s Big Greetings to bring the colour scheme together.  A bit of twine and a wee lady bird to finish it off was all this clean and simple card needed 🙂
EDITED:  Unfortunately it appears the Springtime paper pad is no longer available but Simon Says Stamp have a TON of other fabulous Doodlebug paper pads to choose from which would work just as well in this design.  Look HERE!
