Before I go on to my card I have to announce the winner of the Simon Says Stamp Grab Bag from the Birthday Blog Hop in celebration of Stephanie Lekauf (of Simon Says Stamp).  The winner, randomly chosen from 250 eligible comments is ……………

Karen of Stamping in pINK

Congratulations Karen – please head over the the Simon Says Stamp Blog for all the details of how to claim your prize.

So back to this week’s challenge.  I’ve got a gold-tastic card to share with you this week – it’s so shimmery in real life.  For the large stars I used the Simon Says Stamp Mosaic Stars stencil from the STAMPtember release.  It’s the first chance I’ve had to play with this stencil so when I saw the challenge theme was “Seeing Stars” I went straight for it!  I used a gold glitter effect texture paste with the stencil and then accented the card with some little cork stars from Studio Calico.  I actually spritzed them first with Heidi Swapp gold lame colour shine spray and then coated them with Glossy Accents.  To finish I added some gold thread and a gorgeous sentiment from Clearly Besotted’s Most Wonderful stamp set stamped in gold Delicata ink.

Be Jolly

Hello crafty peeps – today I’m over on the Avery Elle blog sharing a card featuring one of my favourite sets from the Fall release – Be Jolly.  This is another set designed by the insanely talented Heather Campbell – isn’t that the cutest snowman ever??  I created a panel by cutting a snow slope from white card using Custom Panels and layered it onto some Sea Glass card.  I then used Finished Frames to cut the two-tone panel.  The background effect was created with the Falling Snow stencil from Simon Says Stamp with white embossing paste which I then coated with Glitter Ritz white glitter. I finished the top of the slope with white Flower Soft (which I added to the snowman’s hat too)!.

Simon Says…Thinking of You

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

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

THINKING OF YOU

Todays card continues the monochromatic colour scheme I used on my card for Stephanie’s birthday blog hop yesterday.  I am now addicted to spritzing Mister Hueys Calico Shine on everything too – it’s so SHIMMERY!  I love it!  I also love these Prima Crystals – they are rough like little clusters of minerals – I think they go perfectly with the shimmer.  I also LOVE the new Birch Trees stamp set from Clearly Besotted – part of the latest release available from 10 pm tonight (UK time) in the Simon Says Stamp Store!

 

Thinking of you

So now it’s YOUR turn.  Happy Crafting
