Do you use Instagram?  If so, please add #ssswchallenge to your challenge entry uploads so we can see them on there too. 

This week I have chosen to feature MFT's Magnolia Blossoms Cling Stamps Set & as my favourite techniques are no line stamping & die cutting. I have stamped my image using Ink On 3 Fadeout ink pad & coloured with my copics & then fussy cut it ready to use on my card.

To create my largest background I stamped Simon Says Stamps Old Letter cling stamp using Fog Grey ink, & I also die cut Simon Says Stamps Wood Grain card stock using Whimsy Stamps Checker Background die & popped a piece of Prima patterned paper behind it before adhering to my card & adding my image. 

I know in this post I have spelt "Favourite" two different ways as I instinctively want to spell it the "English way" but there are times I also need to spell it the American way as that is how the brand spell it, so apologies for any confusion to both my English & American friends for switching between the spellings I thought I'd try and keep you all happy hahaha.
