As soon as I saw this Hero Arts stamp set in action I knew it needed to go right into my basket!  I tried lots of different colour combos but the one I favoured was this one using a mixture of Hero Arts, Simon Says Stamp and Ranger dye inks (listed below).  The top layer was also restamped using Versamark and clear embossed to add even more dimension.  I love the final look of these gorgeous orchid images.  To colour match the sentiment I used the Wild Orchid dye ink from Ranger and coloured a piece of card before die cutting with the “birthday” from A Tag For All from Avery Elle.

Simon Says … Kids Summer Vacation Challenge

Kid'sChallenge-01

 Hi all and welcome to another of our annual Simon Says Stamp Summer Vacation Kid’s Challenge where we host a special challenge dedicated to our young designers.

ANYTHING GOES 

It is time for all you crafters to let your children loose in your crafty corners for a few hours. Just close your eyes and set them free to explore their creativity 🙂 You are allowed to hide your Copic Markers and extra special papers and you are allowed to help just a little bit if necessary, but we really want the children to ‘DO IT’ themselves as much as possible 🙂

This challenge is open to all children aged between 2 and 16 inclusive.

We have not 1, not 2 but  3 surprise parcels of crafty goodies, hand picked by Simon!

For this challenge we have a very special Junior Design Team who I am sure you will agree have done an excellent job.

We have had a VERY busy few weeks prparing for our upcoming travels (more to come on that) but my youngest two, Pippa (7) and Sophie (11) managed to squeeze in some crafty time to make a card for the challenge!  Pippa made a birthday card for her Daddy. He loves monkeys (well, let’s say he has a love/hate relationship with them) so she picked this cute little critter from the Simon says Stamp Baby Party Animals set.  She coloured it with Copics and even used my MISTI to stamp everything in just the right place!

Sophie had a good root through all my stamps and loved this one – I think she designed her on herself with the blonde hair and spotty pjs!!).  She also used the MISTI and coloured the images with Copics (yes, I was holding my breath the entire time!!).
