Today's card is very different for me as I actually got inky to use this lovely Hero Arts Forest Stencil!

I started by blending distress inks Blueprint Sketch, Faded Jeans, Salty Ocean & Broken China to create a background & then taped my stencil into place over it. I then blended Simon Says Stamps white pigment ink over the stencil & left it to dry. I replaced the stencil and went over the trees using Nuvo's Black Diamond Glimmer Paste, & the moon with Nuvo's Moonstone Glimmer Paste. 

I then had a play with my new favourite toy, the Tim Holtz Stamping Platform using Concord & 9th's Holy Night stamp set & stamped the star a few times in Simon's white pigment ink onto my background & also a sentiment from the set onto vellum.

The pretty snowflake is one of Simon's Stitched Snowflakes & I popped a Hero Arts Clear Gemstone in the center. To make the falling snow "pop" a little more I randomly added some Nuvo Simply White Crystal Drops to some of the falling snow that I had stenciled.

For today's card I have featured Avery Elle's Modern Alpha dies & I have created this card CAS, & I actually like this one! 

I have stamped the cute image  Penelope has a pencil by Stamping Bella onto one of Simon's Large Tags & then coloured it with my copics & foam mounted it ready to pop onto my card.

I've die cut some white card stock with the whole Modern Alpha Die & popped some kraft behind it, then run a strip of Darice sparkle tape along the edge of my panel for a little extra sparkle before adhering it to my card. 

I also die cut the "HI" from the Modern Alpha Die using Darice sparkle tape & popped them into the die cut to create the sentiment.

I have added some finishing touches with a twine bow & a few Nuvo Crystal Drops  in Antique Rose.

The copic colours I've used are -

skin - E11, E00, E000, R30, hair - C9, C7, C5, clothes - W4, W2, W0 / RV99, RV95, RV93, pencil - C3, C1, C00 / RV95, RV93, RV91 / E35, E31, E30.

Apologies I have no linky tool at the end of today's post, it was really strange adding the links manually again but I refuse to pay a 300% price increase each month for LinkDeli so will be sourcing another service such as ThumbLinky which is free & was created by the very clever Sandra from Simon's Monday Challenge team.

Splatter It! - Simon Says Stamp DT

Good afternoon lovely peeps!
I am full of cold & haven't been feeling very energetic the last few days so I've been comfy on my sofa doing lots of colouring on my days off. I just need to stop aching so much so I can get into my craft room & create cards for all these pretty images.

For today's card I have featured an assortment of lovely distress inks with a water brush & some liquid pearls as I'm sure you've noticed I do love my pearls!

I stamped and coloured my image first & then inked some splatters around the image using the stencil. I then stamped some of the ink pads onto an acrylic block & used a water brush to water them down, covered the image and flicked various colours of  watered down ink around the image.

If you missed my lovely little guest designers picture yesterday, it's in the previous post :)

That's me finished for today as I need to get ready for working a late shift, although with the good old UK "Summer"weather being what is it I'd much rather be snuggled on my sofa this afternoon & evening.
