It’s been a while since I’ve had the chance to play with my Clearly Besotted stamps and boy, have I missed it!  I was so chuffed to see we were featuring them for this week’s Wednesday Challenge but then I had a struggle to decide which of the many sets to use!  One of my all-time favourites is Modern Christmas (designed by my bestie Amy Gray) and as I’m in total Christmas mode I thought this would be the perfect one to ink up!  I started by heat embossing in white, three of the Christmas trees and then used Abandoned Coral Distress ink mixed with a little water to add colour to them.  For the card panel I sponged some of the same colour mixed with a little Spun Sugar Distress ink but I wanted a little more “something”!  So, I took an acrylic block and scribbled some AC ink onto it and spritzed with water to make a puddle.  I then used a small paintbrush to flick splatters onto the card base and also mixed in a little Perfect Pearls for a touch of shimmer.  To finish I arranged the tress onto foam adhesive and added a few Iridescent sequins from Little Things From Lucy’s Cards then stamped the sentiment in Smoke ink from Simon Says Stamp.

I’m really starting to think about Christmas now – as soon as the schools go back my mind just naturally starts getting festive!  With this in mind I was immediately drawn to the Deck The Halls stamp set from Taylored Expressions.  I love this set – it has some really fun Christmas critters!  I stamped the penguin then masked him off and sponged some Tumbled Glass Distress Ink behind him.  He was coloured with Copics and and had a few blobs of Glossy Accents added to finish off.  This is a VERY CAS card for me – not sure if it’s missing something actually!  Maybe I need to add some sequins?!

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

This week the challenge is

I recently picked up this fabulous die set, the WPlus9 Pear Stackers from Simon Says Stamp and thought it would be perfect for an engagement card for my twin sister Susan who announced last week that she and her lovely boyfriend Pete are getting hitched next year! Woohoo!!!  I’m SO excited for them – and for the rest of us – who doesn’t love a good wedding?!!

I know it’s not your typical engagement card but I’m pretty sure she’ll appreciate it – they do make a perfect pair!  I started by sponging some Gold Delicata ink onto a panel of white card and then spritzed it with some Heidi Swapp Gold Lame spray.  I inked the edge of the panel with the gold ink too and stamped and embossed the sentiment in Ranger Gold ep.  I die cut the two larger pears and sponged on some Spun Sugar and Mowed Lawn Distress ink.  For the mottled effect I spritzed on some water and a few spots of the gold spray.  To finish off I added a bundle of gold thread underneath the pears and added some sequins for added bling!
