My image has been stamped using Memento tuxedo black ink, coloured with my copics and then fussy cut. My sentiment is die cut using Simon Says Stamps Rounded Alphabet wafer dies with gold glitter cardstock.

To create my watercolour background instead of letting the different colours of watercolour paint dry like I usually would I added lots of water and let the water do the work and let the different colours mix and blend into each other. Once dry I added a couple of stamped faces from the Hey Pumpkin stamps set and added a few splatters of Pinata Rich Gold Alcohol ink.

It's STAMPtember®

Good afternoon lovely peeps & Happy  STAMPtember®!

Today I am sharing a card for a special STAMPtember® blog party.

As I'm sure you already know STAMPtember® is our favourite month of the year at Simon Says Stamp and to celebrate there is so much beautiful inspiration for you to feast your eyes on.

On my card I am featuring the new  STAMPtember® Outline Ornaments 6x6 Cling stamp which I stamped in Embossing Ink on to kraft card stock & then heat embossed using White Fine Detail Embossing Powder. 

I thought I would colour on kraft card stock using Faber-Castell polychromo pencils for a change as I love the muted colours.

 Simon Says Stamp is sharing treats throughout the month so keep your eyes peeled for discounts or freebies like the one below for a free large blending brush.
