Easter Inspiration - Simon Says Stamp DT

Good afternoon lovely peeps!

Feeling a little better only lasted a couple of days & my doctor said I ticked all the boxes for having Australian flu! She also thinks my total lack of energy, huge glands, temperature & enlarged tonsils could be due to glandular fever so I'll need a blood test in a couple of weeks so I'm keeping my fingers crossed it's just the flu that is making  me feel so rubbish!

This weeks card features Your Next Stamps Yummy Cupcake Bunny clear stamp which I have coloured with my copics.

I almost had to give up trying to make a card for this challenge as it took a ridiculous 2 days & lots of rests to eventually come up with a totally CAS card!

All I did for the background on this little card was I masked the bunny & blended some Spun Sugar distress ink around the cute image & then added a few Crystal Drops.

The copic colours I have used are -

bunny - C3, C1, C00 / RV52, RV10, RV000, cupcake - E33, E31, E30 / RV52, RV10, RV000 / BVO1, BV11, BV00 / Y11, Y02, Y00 / B41, B00, B000 / G43, G40, G000 / R12, R01, R000.

Thanks to my beautiful Daisy Mae cat jumping onto my laptop the other day & then it not uploading any photographs I was unable to share my card for  Simon Says Stamp new Best Days release.

Thankfully I have managed to restore it & it's back to normal so can share my cards today. 

On this little card I have featured Simon's lovely Sweet Elephant dies.

I used a mix of MFT Watercolor Wash paper for the elephants body & Doodlebug paper for the ears, & of course Simon's lovely You Matter stamp set & You wafer die.

I had so many ideas popping into my head when using this die so you will definitely be seeing these little elephants again :)

Girl Power! - Simon Says Stamp DT

Good afternoon lovely peeps!

I am at last starting to feel better after having the flu, I'm just extremely tired & achy still but definitely on the mend thankfully.

I was looking at my photos on my laptop & discovered I have so many cards to share with you & while I am still resting have begun to schedule some blog posts rather than bombard you with too many in one post.

This weeks card features Winnie & Walters Julie's Roses clear stamps set. 

I stamped & masked some of the pretty roses & leaves onto water colour paper using Hero Arts Soft Sky & Green Hills shadow ink pads & then coloured them with Polychromo pencils to give a soft water coloured effect. 

I gave the background a wash of colour using Prima Pastel Dreams Watercolors & added a few flicks of watered down Shaded Lilac  & Stormy Sky distress ink , & once dry added some pearls. 

I stamped & heat embossed part of my sentiment from Simon's You Matter stamp set in white embossing powder & added a die cut of Simon's "You" die to finish. 

 Supplies used -

 Simon Says Stamp Black card stock,  Elizabeth Craft Designs double sided tape, Elizabeth Craft Designs Soft Finish Card Stock, Tonic Guillotine, Aleene's Tacky Glue, Cuttlebug, Acrylic Blocks, water brush & Magic Powder Bag.
