Hey there Avery Elle Fans, I’m here with a card using the Frosty Friends stamp set (designed by me!).

My usual take on a snowy themed card would be to reach for the pale blues and aqua shades to give a classic icy feel to the image. This time however, given the vintage style of the set I thought I’d try to recreate a more old-fashioned look, like an old sepia photo.

I’ve also made a little video showing how this card card came together using a partial die-cutting technique which is lots of fun!

Supplies:

Frosty Friends Clear Stamps

Frosty Friends Elle-Ments

Wonky Stitches Elle-Ments

Double Pierced Circle Elle-Ments

Snowflakes Stamp Set

Truffle Dye Ink

Simon says … Happy Birthday Simon!

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!!
