Good morning peeps,
A huge thank you for making the Simon Says Stamp family very happy, we had a total of 1121 gorgeous entry's into last weeks anything goes challenge which beat our record and had us all grinning from ear to ear.
Today we have a new challenge for you at
which is
It can be the real mccoy, newspaper print designer paper or even a stamped image with newspapers featured on it, even something found inside a newspaper,our lovely Debby had a fabulous idea go take a peek.
I have had another play with my copics, I am determined I will get to grips with them and watched loads of tutorials by the super talented Zoe, boy can Zoe colour with them I could look at her images for ages, thanks so much for them hunny they are a big help especially for learners like me x
Ingredients -
Medium - Copic's
Papers - Basic Grey Jovial, & Magnolia Newspaper text
Sparkle - Twinklets diamond dust
Pearls - Hero Arts
Charm - Darice
There are three different sized snowflakes on my card the largest is punched with the MS Arctic snowflake punch and the smaller are both from the Aspen punch around the page. I've covered them all with Twinklets diamond dust, which is super sparkly and very fine cut and adds a textured look to the snowflakes, another sparkly thing I love lol.
As always our lovely Heidi is sponsoring our challenge with a massive $50 spending spree in the
Heidi, Steph and team are busy scouring CHA looking for new goodies for the Simon Says Stamp Superstore so keep an eye on the
