Simon Says … it’s a colour challenge!

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

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

COLOR COORDINATES

We have a special challenge this week ! As you may know Simon’s Creative Director Shari Carroll has a Color Coordinates monthly feature on the Simon Says Stamp Blog and this week we are joining in with Shari’s color scheme AND Shari is joining us as a Special Guest too !!

This is the gorgeous Coordinates Inspiration Board, featuring several of Simon’s Colored Cardstock, for us to use.

As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store

Whilst the challenge theme doesn’t specify Halloween there’s only one way my mind took this colour co-ordinates palette! I used the gorgeous and endlessly useful Luminary Circles die from the Stamptember release at Simon Says Stamp and made a cute little shaker card. The bats are from some table confetti I bought at John Lewis! I inlaid the circles with the cardstock colours from the inspiration graphic and used acetate for the large centre circle and put a few sequins behind it for some dazzle!! The sentiment is from Clearly Besotted’s Fright Night stamp set.

I can’t wait to see how you all interpret this week’s challenge.

Thanks for stopping by xxx

Season’s greetings

Hi there – have you enjoyed the STAMPtember celebrations over at Simon Says Stamp? I can’t believe how many fantastic new products we’ve seen – amazing! I’m here on the very last day of STAMPtember 2014 with a couple of cards made using a set designed exclusively for SSS by Steph at Clearly Besotted Stamps. This set is called Holly Berries and it’s SO elegant – I absolutely love it. Steph actually designed 3 exclusive sets for STAMPtember – check them all out here – once they’re gone, they’re gone!!

Right – I will pop back later and add the linky for the products I used but right now…I’m late for work!!!!!!

Simon Says….Anything Goes!

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

Thank you for joining us for the Tag It Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.

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

ANYTHING GOES

We are showcasing HERO ARTS 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 used one of my all time favourite Hero Arts stamps – the Zig Zag Chevron background cling stamp. I started with a white panel (4″ x 4.25″) and stamped the background in Versamark and embossed in white WOW embossing powder. I then blended Peacock Feather, Broken China and Tumbled Glass distress inks over the embossing to give a gradient effect. I chopped a bit out of the middle and popped the two pieces on foam squares leaving a gap for my sentiment. This is from Avery Elle’s latest release “Look Up” – love the sentiments in this set. I coated the chipboard stars with white enamel accents (I think I pinched this idea off Julie Ebersol!!) for some extra shine!
