Undies & Bees! - Simon Says Stamp DT Card & GDT Digital Delights

Good morning peeps,

I am still chasing my tail and have one more DT project to finish & one to make this week & I am going to breathe a huge sigh of relief when they're done as I haven't really spent anytime with hubby since he's been off work on holiday as I've either been zonked out on painkillers or in my craft room, I dare say he's enjoyed the peace lol.

Today is new challenge day at

SIMON SAYS STAMP

and this week our challenge is a colour challenge of

LEMON & LILAC

This week my fabulous teamies & I are showcasing gorgeous  Penny Black stamps, if you have them we'd love to see them but it's not compulsory to enter the challenge.

Ingredients -

Image - Penny Black

Medium - distressed inks

Papers - Magnolia & Coredinations White Wash

Lace - Kaiser

Pearls - Hero Arts

Flowers - Prima

Sentiment - Magnolia

Tools - Magnolia Doo Hickey Butterflies, MS eyelet lace PATP, Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder

I always reach for my Coredinations White Wash papers when I'm stuck for putting papers together, a quick whizz through the Cuttlebug to emboss them, sand them a little and they always look fab & would you believe I have three 12x12 pads in my stash just in case they sell out everywhere lol.

I've finished off my card by adding some diamond stickles for the lovely sparkle

As always our lovely Heidi is sponsoring our challenge with a whopping

$50 in store spending spree.

I'm entering my card in the following challenges -

Sketch Saturday - fab sketch, Stamp Magic - Summer, Timbroscrapmania - In the garden, Cutie Sunday - animals, Pear Tree - stamp something, Crafty Catz - add a charm, Fussy & Fancy - case a DT member (Tiara, lilac & butterflies), Sew Many Challenges - dry embossing, Secret Crafter - embossing, Totally Gorjuss - ribbons & lace

I am so looking forward to my DT spend and my order arriving, amongst my haul I've ordered 26 new copics sketch pens as I am determined I will get to grips with them, I keep reading on peoples blogs that they are quicker than colouring with distressed inks, maybe when you know what you are doing, until then if I'm short on time I'll have to keep reaching for my gorgeous inks lol.

I also have another card to share as I won a GDT slot at Delightful Challenges among lots of other lovely prizes & top 3's for my little Tilda gazebo which I blogged last week, if you missed it and want a peek you can see it HERE, be warned it's Magnolia overload lol.

 I only just managed to squeeze in making this card as I'm a bit snowed under right now so I had this mad idea that I would attempt a CAS card as it would be quicker, me CAS, yeah right lol.

This little card is going to be featured on the Digital Delights blog, thanks Wendy & the DT for inviting me over

I thought I did well with an attempt at a "clean & simple card" (CAS) until I looked at other peoples & realised I failed miserably, no surprise there lol. I don't think I'll ever be able to manage this style, I'd never be able to step away from the card quick enough, even looking at this now I am visualising Magnolia Doo Hickey swirls, flowers galore, butterflies, pearls lol.

Ingredients -

Medium - distressed inks
