Make Your Own Background - Simon Says Stamp DT Card

Hello lovely peeps!
 I've had some very annoying computer issues this week but thankfully it's all fixed & raring to go again :)
I've been very naughty this morning & am stalling doing the dreaded monthly grocery shopping! Poor hubs has been up since 7am eager to enjoy his supermarket fix, & lazy me has been having a very rare lay in & putting it off as long as possible. Hubs is like a kid at Christmas so I'm going to have to give in & take him soon lol.

It's Wednesday which means ..........  
 

 at
& this week our challenge is
Make Your Own Background
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog
 My lovely teamies and I are featuring
 My Favourite Things
products on our cards this week, if you have any we'd love to see them but as always it's not compulsory to enter our challenge.

Don't forget you can enter our challenge 5 times and there is no limit to how many challenges you combine your entry with.


Do you use Instagram ?  If so, please add #ssswchallenge to your challenge entry uploads so we can see them on there too. 
 The image I've used is by MFT and is called "You're So Special To Me", unfortunately it's unavailable in store at present.
I've created my background papers by stamping some of the flowers from the stamp set in Versamark, then embossing with Hero Arts White embossing powder, & blending Antique Linen over the paper. The hearts paper was created by stamping Simon's lovely Drawn Hearts Background Stamp in Frayed Burlap, heat setting the ink & then blending Antique Linen over it. And my last panel was created by blending Iced Spruce over white paper & embossing it with Cuttlebug's Swiss Dots embossing folder.
 
The Copic colours I've used are -
skin E11, E00, E000, R12, hair E43, E41, E40, top & bag B23, B21, B0000, shorts - C3, C1, C00, boots - W3, W1, W00
