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

Embossing

This week we are showcasing products from WOW! 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

For my card today I used the gorgeous Hero Arts Glorious Petal stencil and combined it with Distress Oxide Inks and clear embossing over the top. I started by brushing Cracked Pistachio over the centre area and brought in some Worn Lipstick just around the outside edge. With the stencil still in place I pressed some Versamark ink over the top. I removed the stencil and sprinkled the card with Wow Clear Gloss embossing powder and heated it. For the panel across the top I die cut a strip of white card with the largest of the scallop edge dies from Simon Says Stamp. I then used Cracked Pistachio and Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide ink again to stamp the Happy and Everything from Sentimental Too from Avery Elle. To finish I added a few drops of Nuvo Jewel Drops.

Hey – it’s Wednesday and time for a brand new challenge. I chose to work with a gorgeous, summery hibiscus stamp design from Technique Tuesday for my card this week. I love the size of the flower in this set, and the font is gorgeous. I stamped the flower in black and then coloured it with Copics. The base of the card has been stencilled using the Tiny Dots stencil from Simon Says Stamp – my favourite stencil of ALL TIME!! I added a touch of gold with some Washi tape, fine gold thread and finished with some little dots of Nuvo drops in Orange Marmalade.

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

Happy Birthday

And guess what? The Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge is celebrating it’s 8th birthday this week!

To celebrate this week we are showcasing products from Simon Says Stamp. You don’t have to use them for the challenge but if you have them we would love to see them used.

As an extra thank you to everyone who has supported Simon over the years, Heidi isn’t just giving away ONE $50 store voucher this week – she’s giving away 8!!!

So this week, I thought I’d pull out one of my ALL TIME favourite Simon Says Stamp sets – Artful Flowers. There’s something about the simplicity of the flowers that I just love! I created a landscape A2 card and used the Tiny Dots stencil with some Avery Elle Lemon Grass pigment ink to give me a subtle texture to the background. The I stamped several of the flowers in Versamark and heat embossed them in white before using Zig Clean Colour Real Brush markers to colour them in. I created a wee video if you’d like to watch the process!!
