Simon Says … Create with Critters

wed-newchallenge-header

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

Thank you for joining us for the Ombre Challenge and we hope you will join in with our new theme!

We will be back soon with the name of the lucky winner of the $50 Voucher

This week the challenge is

CREATE WITH CRITTERS

We’re not expecting you to use their tails as a water brush or sit your puppy or kitty on your craft table while you create but we would like them to be the centre of attention on your creation! If you do have a pet we would love to see a photo of them on your blog post too.

We are showcasing LAWN FAWN PRODUCTS this week. You don’t have to use them to join in with the challenge, but if you have them we would love to see them used!

I’m using one one of my favourite Lawn fawn sets this week with one of my favourite dies too – the goodie bag die.  I love the Butterflies set, I think it’s so useful and fun to colour too.  I used Clean Colour brush markers to colour the butterflies and a pop of bright patterned paper from the Let’s Polka paper pad to compliment them.

Simon Says Stamp January 2016 Card Kit – thank you jet lag!

January-2016-Card-Kit-600

So, it’s 11pm on a Monday night.  I have work in the morning but my time zone is somewhere on the Pacific coast of America.  I haven’t slept properly since I got home and I’m WIDE AWAKE!  What is a girl to do??  I know, grab that AWESOME January 2016 card kit from Simon Says Stamp that I’ve had no time to play with and get crafting.  Here’s what happened!

All the supplies used in these cards are in the kit (with the exception of the Wonky Stitches die which is from Avery Elle – I can’t not use it every time I craft!!).

Avery Elle… Viking

Sorry I’m posting this a day late – it should’ve gone up yesterday!  My pattern is still totally off since returning from CHA in Anaheim – this jet lag is really something else!!  I can’t say I’m complaining though – I had the BEST time in the world.  Meeting up and getting to know some of my other Avery Elle teamies was just amazing.  Love those girls Jamie, Heather, Karolyn and Katie.

So onto today’s card.  I’ve been playing with the cuter-than-all-get-out Viking set and I LOVE it.  So fun to colour and at only $4 is a must-have!

Viking

How adorable is he??  This is a wee 4-bar sized card and I used the smaller Wonky Stitches frame on some woodgrain cardstock for my panel.  He was coloured with Copics then mounted on foam tape.  The hearts were stamped and cut using some red cardstock then I filled them in with a white gel pen.

Thanks for stopping by today.
