This week I am featuring lots of different Tim Holtz products as I have created three different cards! 
I have a box file with lots of different coloured images & unfinished projects in so I had a rummage through there and have finished an additional two different cards all featuring Tim Holtz products.



I decided to challenge myself to using some colours I don't normally put together & was totally uninspired looking through my huge card stock stash so decided to look at what Prima flowers I have & I decided to go with a peach colour and Simon's Fog Grey card stock.



My next card is a very simple stencilled card using Simon's Circular Lace stencil with Scattered StrawBroken China & Mowed Lawn Distress Inks.
The card stock is Simon's Green Leaf card stock, the sentiment is from Simon's Amazing stamp set & I have added a few Nuvo Duck Egg Blue & Buttermilk Crystal Drops.


Lastly I have created a totally CAS stamped card using Tim Holtz Mini Crazy Cats & Dogs stamps which I have coloured with my copics. 

I decided I wanted to fill the bottom of this card with Crazy Dogs so I chose the dogs I wanted to use and was playing around positioning the masks I had made but couldn't manage to fit them all in & see all of their little faces properly. I almost gave up & just stamped three dogs but then I had a light bulb moment and remembered reverse stamping! Once I had flipped some of the masks & jiggled them about I was happy with them so got stamping.

The sentiment and cute little paw prints are from Simon's Bone-A-Fide Birthday stamp set & have been stamped in Simon's Black Pigment Ink directly onto my card.

This week I am featuring Clearly Besotted Bird Bath Clear Stamp Set, and I have masked a couple of the images and coloured them with my copics.

I've kept today's card very simple due to how much I am struggling with making cards at the moment due to the pain in my thumb and hand. I have simply added a few drops of Nuvo Duck Egg Blue Crystal Drops and stamped a sentiment from Simon's Friendship Messages stamp set in Simon's Black Pigment Ink directly onto my card.

Whatever The Weather! - Simon Says Stamp DT

Good afternoon lovely peeps!

I've had to take a couple of weeks break from my DT due to tendinitis & trigger thumb which is incredibly painful & the splint I need to wear is really restrictive so I've not been able to do anything creative. I can't even take the caps off my copics myself at the moment which is really frustrating.

I couldn't make my card with my hand and thumb in the splint so I got creative with surgical tape & emery boards & made a smaller splint which I am regretting now as the pain is really not nice, but the plus side is I did manage to finish this card.

This week I am featuring Sunny Studio's Cable Knit Embossing Folder on my card which wasn't what I had intended to feature but it was the easiest option as I had to improvise due to my hand.

My image is Simon's beautiful Blossoming Clear Stamp from the new Fresh Bloom release, and the sentiment is from Simon's Friendship Messages stamp set  
I kept the embellishments simple and just added some of Simon's Flickering Butterflies & Simply White Crystal Drops.
