Lorraine's Loft: 11/13/13

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge !! Thank you for joining us for the CAS Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too :-)

I am hoping this publishes OK as I am in Dublin at the mo',, having a little mini city break and I don't have my tablet with me to check ,,, so I will be keeping my fingers crossed :-)

This week the challenge is ,,,,,,,,

THANKS/THANKGIVING

We are showcasing HERO ARTS Products this week. You don't have to use them to join in but if you have some we would LOVE to see them used :-)

As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store!

I used Wildflower Garden Cling Stamp, Friend Definition Background Cling Stamp and Wet Cement Notecards

When I started this card I had in mind 'Thinking Of You', probably because it was Remembrance Sunday last weekend, hence the red 'poppy' colour :-) I think I managed to retrieve it though ,, :-)

A bit of a happy mistake here too, I stamped the Friend Definition image as a shadow using Hero Arts Soft Granite Ink and then decided to stamp the flower image too to create a shadow before stamping it again in white, but when I went to emboss some of the ink was still wet and some of the powder stuck to that too. I did think about starting again, but I really like this effect so I kept it as it was :-)

I used some Hero Arts Layering paper to make a matching envelope too ,,, I am really enjoying making and/or decorating coordinating envelopes :-)
