With the stencil still in place I then used my palette knife to go over it using Moonstone Glimmer Paste to add that pretty sparkle.

Anything Goes - Simon Says Stamp DT

Good afternoon lovely peeps!

I hope you are keeping warm & snug during our "beast from the East" blast of Winter! 

I ventured out briefly on Monday to go to the doctors & collect prescriptions & have since been snug on my sofa, resting, sleeping & watching rubbish day time TV as I've no energy & ache too much to do anything else..

We had just a dusting of snow yesterday & are forecast lots on Thursday & Friday, so if we do get anymore I'll no doubt just be looking at it from the comfort of my sofa unless these antibiotics & steroids work amazingly fast of course.

Luckily I had this card already cut, sewn & put together, it was just in need of decoration as I ache too much to be sat at my desk crafting at the moment. The only problem I had was if I had a Memory Box product that was suitable to add to it! Thankfully I have those lovely little Memory Box Puffy Cloud Dies in among my stash, which I love & have used many times, & they could easily be added to my card.

I have embellished my card with a selection of pretty Prima flowers, some die cuts from  Simon Says Stamps Butterfly Drift & I have added lots of pretty little hydrangeas which are die cut using Spellbinders Hydrangea die set. I also added lots of pearls & Tonic Nuvo Wisteria & Simply White crystal drops. The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamps Bouquet Of Thanks stamp set and I have stamped it in Simon's Intense Black ink.

My second card today features a die from Simon Says Stamps new release

  Merry & Bright

& is called Holly Oval Frame.

There are so many gorgeous products in this new release that I want them all lol.

I created this card when I was really poorly & as my head was absolutely pounding so I chose to create it very simply and even that was a struggle at the time!

I created a simple water colour wash background with Primas Pastel Dreams Water Color Confections set & die cut my Holly Oval Frame using Hero Arts Woodgrain card stock. I also used Simon Says Stamps & Dies On A String set from the STAMPtember release & stamped the snowflakes and sentiment using Simon's Audrey Blue, Deep Sea & Surf Blue ink pads.

I used foam pads to mount the Holly Oval Frame & also some of the snowflakes to add more dimension to my card & finished with some Simply White Crystal Drops.
