I am featuring a very cute Impression Obsession Fascinator Guinea Pig stamp on my card today. 

I stamped the cute image onto X Press It Copic Blending card using Ink 0n3 Fadeout ink pad & coloured the image with my copics. As I had used the no line colouring technique I drew in the eyes & string using a copic multi liner. 

I've used a mix of SSS wood grain card stock & some pretty Moda Scrap Let Your Soul Bloom 6x6 papers. The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamps Mandy's Flowers stamp set & was stamped using SSS Black pigment ink.

Spellbinders A2 Curved Borders dies, Simon Says Stamp Flickering Butterflies wafer die, MFT Wonky Stitched Square Stax dies,  Die cutting machine, Elizabeth Craft Designs Double Sided Tape, Tonic Guillotine, Tim Holtz Stamping Platform, Tonic Scissors, SSS Tacky Glue, May Arts Twine

I am featuring Hero Arts Rose Stem clear stamp on my card today which is also available as a set with a coordinating die here.

I cut a base using X Press It Copic Blending card slightly bigger than I wanted & stamped the pretty Rose Stem stamp around the edges using Ink 0n3 Fadeout ink pad leaving plenty of white space in the middle of my card for my sentiment. I coloured the images with my copics and by the time I came to adding the black stamens in the center of the flowers I was struggling with being in pain & staying focused after recent neck surgery so I went for the easy option & used a copic multi liner and doodled them free hand as I wanted the black to really pop. I die cut my image using the largest of my Wonky Stitched Frames and mounted my image onto SSS Black card stock.

This challenge was to add a sentiment but I hadn't decided which sentiment I wanted to add & then I received a lovely thinking of you card in the post yesterday from my wonderful friends at Simon Says Stamp & an adorable Get Well card from our lovely Lols which really cheered me up and reminded me how nice it is to receive a handmade card especially when you are feeling a bit down so I decided to make my card a Thinking Of You Card. 

I used a sentiment from one of my favourite stamp sets Simon Says Stamps Sketched Flowers which I stamped using SSS Black pigment ink.

I have again created two cards for this challenge as my Simon Says Stamp February Card Kit arrived & I couldn't wait to get playing. The card kit is sold old but all of the elements are available individually.

I have stamped the hearts from the Windows Frames Stamp Set using Ink 0n3 Fadeout ink pad onto Canson XL Watercolour Paper & then die cut my window frames using the Trio Window Die. I water coloured the hearts using Simon Says Stamp Daniel Smith Watercolour Palettes & heat embossed the "big hugs" sentiment from the Window Frames stamp set using SSS Fine Detail White Embossing Powder.

 Other supplies used - 

MFT Square Shaker Trio & Buttons Galore & More Sprinkletz Sweethearts (Both included in the kit) Die cutting machine, Elizabeth Craft Designs Double Sided Tape, Tonic Guillotine, Tim Holtz Stamping Platform, Tonic Scissors, SSS Tacky Glue, SSS Black card stock, White Gouache, Simply White Crystal Drops

Next up is my original DT card I created for this challenge using Simon Says Stamps Leafy Frames Stamp Set which I also stamped onto Canson XL Watercolour paper using my SSS embossing ink pad & heat embossed using SSS Fine Detail White Embossing Powder. I heat embossed a sentiment for the same stamp set & then water coloured & fussy cut my frame. 

I created a simple background using SSS Black stock & Tim Holtz Botanical 3D Texture Fades & I spritzed my card stock with Ranger Perfect Pearl which gives a lovely shimmer to the card stock.

 Other supplies used - 

Copic X Press It Double Sided Foam Tape, May Arts Twine, Doodlebug Lily White Jewels,  Die cutting machine, Elizabeth Craft Designs Double Sided Tape, Tonic Guillotine, Tim Holtz Stamping Platform, Tonic Scissors, SSS Tacky Glue, SSS Black card stock, Heat Tool,
