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.

Other supplies used -

I've created a simple background using Simon Says Stamp Falling Snow Stencil with Snowflake Paste & then ink blended Simon Says Stamps White Pigment Ink over it to soften the look. I foam mounted my background before adding it to my card & I added a few Simply White Crystal Drops randomly onto some of the falling snow & a lovely Prima Flower to finish.

Something New! - Simon Says Stamp DT

Good afternoon & a Happy New Year!

SIMON SAYS STAMP WEDNESDAY CHALLENGE

 Our challenge is -

Something New!

The design team are featuring

Hero Arts

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 Hero Arts Florals Rose Clear Stamp which I have used to create my background. 

I've stamped the rose a few times onto watercolour paper using Simon Says Stamp embossing ink pad & heat embossed it using Hero Arts white detail embossing powder. Once set I ink blended Stormy Sky Distress Ink over the background & then die cut a Stitched Circle from it ensuring it was large enough for my image to show through.

The thing I have missed the most about card making since having to take time out is colourings so I challenged myself to complete colouring an image with my copics for this week so that's another goal ticked off my list. To make it easier for myself I chose this cute & new to me Stamping Bella image called Bundle Girl With Snowdrops as it's fairly small & looked straightforward to colour.

I chose a congratulations sentiment for my card as I thought it would be perfect for a friend who is starting a new job.

Other supplies used - 

Simon Says Stamp Moonshine Sequins, Tacky Glue,  May Arts twine, Kraft Card Stock, Scor-Pal, Teflon Bone Folder, Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad,

 Double Sided Tape,  Guillotine Comfort Paper Trimmer, Simon Says Stamp Inside Out Sayings Stamp Clear Stamps,
