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

This week the challenge is ,,,,,,,,

COLOR COORDINATES

We have a special challenge this week ! As you may know Simon’s Creative Director Shari Carroll has a Color Coordinates monthly feature on the Simon Says Stamp Blog and this week we are joining in with Shari’s color scheme AND Shari is joining us as a Special Guest too !!

This is the gorgeous Coordinates Inspiration Board, featuring several of Simon’s Colored Cardstock, for us to use.

As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store

Whilst the challenge theme doesn’t specify Halloween there’s only one way my mind took this colour co-ordinates palette! I used the gorgeous and endlessly useful Luminary Circles die from the Stamptember release at Simon Says Stamp and made a cute little shaker card. The bats are from some table confetti I bought at John Lewis! I inlaid the circles with the cardstock colours from the inspiration graphic and used acetate for the large centre circle and put a few sequins behind it for some dazzle!! The sentiment is from Clearly Besotted’s Fright Night stamp set.

I can’t wait to see how you all interpret this week’s challenge.

Simon Says Stamp October Card Kit Revealed!

14.09.2014 by Caryn Davies 3 Comments

It’s the 14th so that means reveal day for the latest Simon Says Stamp Card Kit – woo-hoo! I squealed when I opened the box with this one – the colours are so warm and cozy – perfect to go with the fabulous “coffee and tea” themed stamp set and embellishments. The papers are just gorgeous and there’s even a super little cup die in there – love it!

I made a card inspired by the colours from the papers and used the card in the kit with the die. There’s some sweet little sequins in there too – I just love it ALL!

Now these kits are notorious for selling out so if you want it, then go get it before it’s gone!!

Have a great Sunday where ever you are. I’m going off with some friends for a family bike trek/picnic over in Delamere Forest – such a pretty part of the world and only half an hour from us!

For my creation today I used the gorgeous new stamp set from the the STAMPtember release called You’re So Sweet and a FANTASTIC new background stamp called Leaf Background. I love fruit images and particularly love pears – so that was the first image I was drawn to when I saw this set. The panels on the top and bottom of the card have been stamped in Versamark on Tim Holtz watercolour card and then heat embossed in white. The pears were masked to form a row and also heat embossed. I’ve used watercolour to add the colour details and highlighted the pears with a touch of gold sparkle using the gold Wink of Stella brush. The sentiment is from the Thanks card die – I just trimmed off the card bit!! This was heat embossed in Ranger Gold Tinsel embossing powder.
