The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamps You Matter stamp set & it has also been stamped using the same shadow ink pad & mounted onto fun foam & I have added Simon's lovely You die to complete my greeting.

It's not only new challenge day, Simon Says Stamp has a brand new release out today called 
Good Vibes 
which has lots of gorgeous goodies in.

This week I have chosen to feature Hero Arts lovely Magnolia Stamp which I have stamped in Memento Tuxedo black ink & coloured with my copics.

The beautiful Big Friend die cuts are from Simon's new Good Vibes release & I have die cut the larger of the two friends die once with white card stock & again with fun foam. My image is also foam mounted and to make sure they are the same height I adhered the white card stock Friend sentiment over my image & affixed the fun foam Friend die cut behind it. 

I wanted to keep my white background nice & bright so I just added a few flicks of Picked Raspberry, Spun Sugar & Victorian Velvet distress inks onto it and added a couple of Simon's  Flamingo sequins.

Anniversary / Wedding - Simon Says Stamp DT

Good afternoon lovely peeps!

I'm a little short of time as I spent way too long playing in my craft room so I'll get straight down to business!

& this week our challenge is

WEDDINGS / ANNIVERSARY

& this week the design team are featuring

on our cards.

This week I have chosen to feature Impression Obsession I Ruff You cling stamp & I decided to stamp & also reverse stamp the cute image as it's something I haven't done in a long time & I thought having two dogs together would look even cuter.

I heat embossed the cute dogs with Versamark ink & Nuvo white embossing powder & then coloured them with my copics. I masked both the images off and created a background using Simon's lovely Mosaic Heart Stencil and a selection of Simon's inks, Sea Glass Blue, Audrey Blue, Island Blue, Surf Blue, Blue Violet, & High Dive. As the heart looked so beautiful and vibrant I was worried that the white embossed images wouldn't show up enough against the vivid colours so I popped my masks & stencil back in place and used Simon's White ink pad to soften the colours by blending it over the whole stencil & I added a couple of  Crystal Drops to the dogs eyes and a few sequins to embellish. 

The sentiment is from Simon's Tilted Banner Sayings stamp set and I have stamped it in black ink and die cut it using Simon's Tilted Banner dies.

The copic colours I've used are -

C6, C3, C1, C00 / B23, B21, B41 / R85, R83, R81 / YR23, YR21, YR20

 Other supplies used -

 Elizabeth Craft Designs double sided tape, Elizabeth Craft Designs Soft Finish Card Stock, Tonic Guillotine, Acrylic Blocks,  Copic X-Press It blending card, Heat Tool, Acetate,  Cuttlebug.
