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.

Thanks for stopping by xxx

I recently picked up a stunning set of watercolours from Simon Says Stamp – the Zig Kuretake Gansai Tambi 36 colour set. WOW – they are SO pretty to look at, I just fell in love with them. What I really liked about this set is the addition of the metallics and pearl palettes – so lovely. A new addition to my stamp collection is the Altenew Persian Motifs set – they are screaming to be water coloured so that’s what I did!!

Aren’t those stamps just divine?!! So, so pretty.

Hi there – have you enjoyed the STAMPtember celebrations over at Simon Says Stamp? I can’t believe how many fantastic new products we’ve seen – amazing! I’m here on the very last day of STAMPtember 2014 with a couple of cards made using a set designed exclusively for SSS by Steph at Clearly Besotted Stamps. This set is called Holly Berries and it’s SO elegant – I absolutely love it. Steph actually designed 3 exclusive sets for STAMPtember – check them all out here – once they’re gone, they’re gone!!
