Simon Says ,,,, Let's Be Clear

wed-newchallenge-header

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

Long Post ,,, Get Coffee :-)

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

 LET'S BE CLEAR

We often hear politicians saying 'let us be clear' (especially when they are fudging the issue) so we thought we would take that literally :-)
So acetate, vellum, glossy accents, translucent embossing paste, clear plastic, clear stamps etc !

We are showcasing Clearly Besotted 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 made this card for Amy's flatmate who has finished her studies at the University of Malta and has returned home to France. It is sad as she has lived here since she was a young girl, going to High School and Junior College in Gozo. This is the end of an era and I am sad to see her go but know that she will go on to bigger and better things. I wish her the very best of luck ,, Love her to bits,, she is like my surrogate daughter. 

GOOD LUCK TATUM  

I used a copic air brush to create a cloudy sky and then die cut a cloud aperture and stamped the sentiment on white card underneath.


we don't have many fields of green, or trees in Gozo ,, I should have made it a desert really ,, but grass looks prettier ,, lol ,, there is my cat Jack seeing her off ,,, haha  

and this is the inside 
it even has one of Jack's hairs in the grass ,,, lol ,, a card is not complete without cat hair  :-)


I also had this  Happy Everything stamp and  coordinating die set that hadn't been used so I made another one.


I used watercolours for this one and sprayed and splattered the background too, I love the soft pretty effect of this.
I stamped the little vellum butterfly with versamark and embossed with sticky stuff then sprinkled with Prisma Glitter, lovely and sparkly :-)


I even finished the inside ,,, I am on a roll !! :-)



So now it's YOUR turn ! Happy Crafting !!

Love the layered scene you created with the die cuts. The cat is a great detail and the cloud opening is so clever. Great design. Thanks for playing along with our On the Move challenge at Craft Your Passion this week. I hope we see you again soon. And I agree about the cat hair. It's my signature element!
