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

Today's card doesn't feature any Paper Rose products sadly as I have several of their lovely products but the products I wanted to feature are no longer available so I thought it was better to feature a product that is still available so have chosen a Simon Says Stamp stamp set called Sweet Truffles & Simon Says Stamp Small Hello Die.

To create the background I stamped the Sweet Truffles onto Neenah Solar White Paper

 using Simon Says Stamp Fog Gray Ink.

I stamped 3 more of the truffles using Ink On 3 Fadeout ink pad and water coloured them using Altenew's Watercolour paint and shaded them using Polychromo pencils.

I can't say I'm too pleased with the way this card turned out but sometimes that's just the way it goes.

Other supplies used - 

 Tacky Glue, Double Sided Tape, Tonic Guillotine, Guillotine Comfort Paper Trimmer, Paintbrush, Simply White Crystal Drops, Neenah Kraft card stock.

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

Today's card actually turned out nothing like I had originally intended! 

Originally I had stamped & coloured the images from Lawn Fawns Hoppy Easter stamp set to use & I'd cut a patchwork background from the Hello Sunshine Remix 6x6 paper pad when I remembered I had some teeny white poms poms from a Simon Says Stamp Card Kit that I could use for the tails & had a complete change of plan, & this happened!

I set aside the stamped images & background & die cut some bunnies from the Hoppy Eater coordinating die set using the Hello Sunshine Remix 6x6 paper pad instead.

Other supplies used - 

 Tacky Glue, Simon Says Stamps Grassy Edges wafer die & Flickering Butterflies wafer die, Double Sided Tape, Tonic Guillotine, Guillotine Comfort Paper Trimmer,  MFT's Stitched Clouds dies, Distress Inks, Black Pigment Ink, Sentiment - SSS Spring Gnomes stamp set

On today's card I am featuring Doodlebug Designs Forest Friends Clear Stamp Set, Floral Graph Rainbow & Swiss Dots Rainbow Petite Prints 6x6 paper pads.

I have stamped the images using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink & coloured them with my copics. After colouring my images I fussy cut them & popped the cute gnome from Simon Says Stamps Spring Gnomes clear stamp set and one of the trees onto foam squares and adhered them to my card.  

I'm pretty sure this is the first card I've ever made without any embellishments at all & to be honest if I didn't have a banging headache when I created it I'm sure some would have found their way on there.

Other supplies used - 

 Tacky Glue, Simon Says Stamps Grassy Edges wafer die, Double Sided Tape, Tonic Guillotine, Guillotine Comfort Paper Trimmer.
