Simon Says … Anything Goes

Image

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge. Thank you for joining us for the  Sparkle and Shine Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.

This week the challenge is

We are showcasing My Favorite Things Products this week. You don’t have to use them to join in but if you have some we would love to see them used.

I started with a white A2 card base and used the My Favorite Things Diagonal Stripes Stencil with Simon Says Stamp Apple and Cranberry Pawsatively Saturated dye ink. I die cut a panel of School house Red cardstock using the My Favorite Things Stitched Rectangle Stack and stamped Tim Holtz Perfect Plaids in black ink. I blended the same ink around the edge before adhering it to the card base.

For the focal point of the card I created a rosette from black cardstock using the Sizzix Paper Rosette Sizzlet. I created the truck using the Tim Holtz Vault Christmas Magic die set with a coat of Glossy Accents.

As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $25 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store

He’s coloured with Picked Raspberry Distress Watercolour Pencil on a Distress coloured panel made with Distress inks and the star stencil from the Mini Stencil Set Number 43

Jolly Santa in Red

I’m so in the Christmas groove I can’t handle it!! And there are no two stamps sets that make a more festive combo than the Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous sets – Jolly Santa and Perfect Plaids.

I started with a green card base and took some red card stock and stamped one of the plaid stamps in black. I die cut this using the Simon Says Stamp Stitched Rectangles and adhered it to the card. I also stamped the border image and adhered that along the edge.

I used a couple of different green cardstocks and die cut a variety of sprigs from the Large Funky Festive die set by Tim Holtz Sizzix and arranged them behind the big Santa image which was stamped with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink and coloured with Distress Watercolour Pencils.
