Simon Says 1st Challenge :-)
This is my card for the 1st ever Simon Says Challenge
:-) I am so excited about this new challenge and hope you will all join in the fun :-) Heidi and Jason the owners of simonsaysstamp.com have offered a very generous prize to one lucky entrant in the challenge so hop on over there for more details :-)
The theme for our 1st week is Yellow and Green, Heidi's favourite colours.
I used the Simon Says Clear Stamps Dream PARIS ROME NEW YORK Exclusive set.
I followed the sketch on the Sketch Saturday Challenge for this card, they have a lovely prize on offer too this week :-)
I the basic grey sugared papers I used were a gift from Heidi :-) Thanks darlin :-) They worked perfectly with the sketch as there were lots of circles and the flowers did the job perfectly, I just added a few amber coloured gems to a few of them :-) The image and Paris text were stamped using Brilliance black ink, no colouring !! easy !! :-) I used a Tim Holtz grungeboard die cut shape. I wanted to use the words 'Springtime in' on this but didn't want to write it myself and make a mess of it so I printed it on the computer !! I didn't think it would work actually and was a bit worried it would get stuck but it didn't !! the ink smudged a bit though but that was brill !! it distressed itself to match the Eiffel Tower image yay !! I distressed it even further with Tim Holtz distress ink pad I used the shabby shutters one. The brads are doodlebug sugared ones and the circles were cut out using my nestabilities.
Everything I used on this card are available in the Simon Says Stamp store :-)
Thanks for looking, I appreciate your comments so please leave me one :-)
