To create my background I've ink blended some Blueprint Sketch, Seedless Preserves, Hickory Smoke, & Wilted Violet Distress Inks over Canson XL Watercolour Paper and once dry added a light blend of Simon Says Stamp White Pigment Ink in some areas & White Gouache.

I've used SSS black pigment ink to stamp Santa & his reindeer & a sentiment from Simon Says Stamps Christmas Cheer stamp set & attached that behind my background which can be seen in the photo below.

This wasn't the card I intended to create at all! I had chosen a lovely Santa stamp to use for this challenge & stamped it ready to use but when I began looking through my huge stash of Tim Holtz products I had so many ideas whizzing around my head & knowing that I am happiest creating what I feel like making I just went with it!

I die cut the ice skates and roughly added the creases in the skates with my copics and then added distress inks to them to add colour. I heat embossed some Stampendous Frantage Embossing Enamel to the blades to add a little texture and interest to them.

I embossed a background using Tim Holtz Holiday Words embossing folder and ink blended some Antique Linen lightly over it and then ink blended over lots of different die cuts to use as embellishments including SSS Maryanne Snowflake, Pine Needles, Holly Fanfare, Holly & Pine Frame, & Mini Stars wafer dies

Happy DieCember



It's the 1st December & in our world at Simon Says Stamp that means it's time for this years fabulous 
new release.


I ink blended some Broken China distress Oxide over the center area of my card and once dry I stenciled over it using Stormy Sky Distress Oxide with Simon Says Stamps Diagonal Stripe stencil.

I die cut the inner Thank You dies from Simon's new Thank You dies set from the center of my card and then spritzed the background with water before popping the die cuts out.

The Thank You border was die cut using Simon's white wood grain card stock & foam mounted for some added dimension before assembling my sentiment onto my card & adding a few of Simon's Assorted Moonshine sequins to finish.
