Simon Says … the colour of love

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

The Colour of Love

This week we are showcasing Reverse Confetti Products this week. 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

This week’s challenge is all about love and I just LOVE this combination of stencilled background using the Hearts stencil and a bold, black, graphic sentiment. I’ve always loved this combo. The touches of gold add a little drama too – can’t go wrong with a bit of gold I say!! I used my Clarity brushes with Spun Sugar and Picked Raspberry Distress inks – these are amazing things – if you haven’t tried them I’d highly recommend them! I was having so much fun I thought I’d carry on and whip up a second card while I was at it!

Avery Elle … Love Puffin

05.12.2016 by Caryn Davies 1 Comment

I’m up on the Avery Elle Blog today sharing this card using the cute Love Puffin stamp set. The Rocky Shores dies are absolutely amazing and pair with this set beautifully. Such a wee stroke of genius. I coloured the puffins with Copics and added a little Kraft ink to the edges here and there to soften the colours.

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 Shake It Up Challenge and we hope you will join in with our new theme!

We will be back soon with the name of the lucky winner of the $50 Voucher

This week the challenge is

Anything Goes

We are showcasing MEMORY BOX PRODUCTS this week. You don’t have to use them to join in with the challenge, but if you have them we would love to see them used!

This card was inspired by another I made at Christmas (you can find the details HERE). I was asked to make a Valentines card for a friend of mine with a duck-egg blue and red combo (one of my favourites!) and so thought I’d put my Minc to good use and create this. The sheet music is from an image I found on the internet which I printed onto vellum on my laser printer. I then added the mint-coloured foil with the Minc and die cut the panel using the Wonky Stitches die from Avery Elle. The card base is from the Caribbean Collection of notecards (Avery Elle also) and I created a watercolour piece to go under the vellum just to give a subtle background texture.

I printed off a sheet of solid black toner and then ran it through the minc with more of the mint foil and also some red. I then die cut my pieces and assembled them on the front of the card.
