I've kept my background really simple & used Simon Says Stamps Fog Gray card stock & Woodgrain card stock, & I die cut two Reverse Scallop Rectangle dies using the white woodgrain card, & also Whimsy's Checker Background which I then cut down to use as a background for the reverse frames before mounting on my card.

Out With The Old & In With The New! - Simon Says Stamp DT

Good afternoon lovely peeps!

 at

SIMON SAYS STAMP WEDNESDAY CHALLENGE

This week our challenge is -

Out With The Old & In With The New!

The design team are featuring

Simon Says Stamp!

exclusive products on our cards this week.

Don't forget you can enter our challenge 5 times and there is no limit to how many challenges you combine your entry with.

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

On today's card I am featuring Simon Says Stamps Season's Greetings wafer die & Moonshine Sequins as my old products, & Simon Says Stamp Winter Floral Background cling stamp which is my new product.

 I stamped my image using Ink On 3 Fadeout ink pad onto watercolour paper & then water coloured it using Altenew's watercolour pans set, & went over the broken line patterns with a white gel pen. 

Originally I die cut the sentiment from my background but as the background is busy I felt it blended in too much so die cut the sentiment again using black glitter cardstock. 

Take 2!

I've had to improvise on what I used this week as my DT parcel seems to be having a little holiday in Switzerland, so I'm fully embracing Christmas in July & longing for cooler weather right now as I'm not enjoying the current heatwave one bit.

Luckily about two years ago when rearranging my craft room I started to keep all new products in a storage box until I had used them, & once I do use them they are put in their rightful place stored by company, so it's easy to see which new goodies I have, & saves me time as I don't need to search for challenge products.

Other supplies used - 

  Black Cardstock, Tacky Glue, Double Sided Tape, Tonic Guillotine, Guillotine Comfort Paper Trimmer, Simply White crystal drops

Hello Sunshine! - Simon Says Stamp DT

Good afternoon lovely peeps!

Hello Sunshine

The design team are featuring

Sunny Studio

 products on our cards this week.

Don't forget you can enter our challenge 5 times and there is no limit to how many challenges you combine your entry with.

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

On today's card I am not actually featuring any Sunny Studio products unfortunately as I was so engrossed in cracking on with creating my card I completely forgot to feature the chosen brand this week.

The image I've used is Stamping Bella's Tiny Townie Garden Girl Rose which I have stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink & coloured with my copics. 

My post is as short & sweet as possible as I knocked a drink over on my desk & it went all over my laptop keyboard and random strange symbols are being displayed instead of the letters I am trying to type so I've copied & pasted my links & edited as much as possible from my iPad.

Other supplies used - 

Simon Says Stamp Flickering Butterflies & Scallop Stitches Wafer Dies, MFT Wonky Stitched Rectangles, Black Cardstock, Lawn Fawn Hello Sunshine Remix 6x6 paper pad, Tacky Glue, Double Sided Tape, Tonic Guillotine, Guillotine Comfort Paper Trimmer.
