this week. You don’t have to use them to join in but if you have some we would love to see them used.

 On my first card that I am sharing today I am featuring Simon Says Stamps Kaleidoscope Embossing Folder, Simon Says Stamp Orchid Rose Bouquet Clear stamps set & Simon's White Fine Details Embossing Powder.

I stamped the beautiful Orchid Rose Bouquet Clear Stamp using Embossing Ink & then heat embossed it using White Fine Detail Embossing Powder & watercoloured it using Altenew watercolour pans.

I have used the debossed side of my cardstock for this card and all of my card that I have embossed has been spritzed with a mix of water and Pearl Perfect Pearls so has a delicate, really pretty sparkly shimmer to it.

Other supplies used - 

 Moonshine Sequins Tacky Glue,  Double Sided Tape, Guillotine Comfort Paper Trimmer, Simply White crystal drops, 

The lovely folks over at Simon Says Stamp are generously giving away a FABULOUS $25 voucher to shop at the  Simon Says Stamp Store! 

I have been able to spend a little bit more time in my craft room as I am on annual leave & my back injury feels much better than it was so have made a couple more quick cards to share today.

This card has been created using the embossed side of the Kaleidoscope Embossing Folder & I have heat embossed a sentiment from the Orchid Rose Bouquet clear stamps set & added twine & a Prima flower.

My last card has been created using Simon Says Stamps Christmas Cookies Embossing Folder & I have swiped my Victorian Velvet Distress Ink Pad over the debossed side & added a die cut sentiment, stars & snowflake.

Thanks for stopping by &  stay safe!

Today's card features Pink Fresh Studio's Thankful For Friends Clear Stamp Set which I have stamped using Ink On 3 Fadeout ink pad & water coloured using Altenew's Watercolour pans. 

To stencil the hearts above my flowers I ink blended Stormy Sky Distress Ink over Simon Says Stamp & CZ Designs Simple Duo Stencil and then I added some watered down Shaded Lilac Distress Ink to the left side of each blue heart using a paintbrush and pulled the colour across with my wet paintbrush. I wanted the hearts to look a little softer than they did so I used a large paintbrush and just painted over them a couple of times using water.

I have created a card featuring a rubber stamp by Hero Arts called Florals Sunflower Stem which I stamped in SSS Black pigment ink and have water coloured my image using a mix of Altenew watercolour pans and Simon Says Stamp Daniel Smith Watercolour Palettes.

I wanted the same shade of off white / cream for my background as my image 

is stamped on so I spritzed some watercolour paper with a mix of water & Confetti White Perfect Pearls and embossed it using Tim Holtz Botanical 3D Texture Fade Embossing Folder.
