Hi all!Welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!

This week the theme is

MAKE YOUR OWN BACKGROUND

As it’s the first Monday of the month we are showcasing a brand/company. This week we are all using some fabulous products from Paper Artsy. You don’t have to use them to join in with the challenge but if you have them we would love to see them used.

The lovely folks over at Simon Says Stamp are generously giving away a FABULOUS $50 voucher to shop at the  Simon Says Stamp Store! All you have to do is take out your crafty supplies, make something following this week’s prompt, and add a link in the Inlinkz at the bottom of this post! You can join 5 times so you could have 5 chances to win! How AWESOME is that!! All winners are chosen randomly, so everyone has an equal chance to win! Woo Hoo!! Good Luck to everyone! The Design Team is looking forward to seeing your creative makes and will pop around to visit you ASAP!
This week we are welcoming the lovely Kerstin aka Scrapbook Dreams into the Designer Spotlight. If you haven't visited her blog before then you are in for a real treat!

I made a card using  Zini 35 and a Jofy 19 Cling Stamps, I love this little kitty! fabulous quirky don't you think! :-)


I coloured the images with Copic Markers, fussy cut them out and then started on the background. I started by splattering Distress Resist and when this was dry I blended Tumbled Glass, Stormy Sky, Peeled Paint and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide Inks, which I then splattered with water and sprinkled Slime and Royal Blood Infusions and spritzed again. 


I then used a Tim Holtz Bubble Layering Stencil and White Embossing Paste to add some texture, I splattered this with some Dylusions London Blue, White Linen and Twisted Citron Distress Spray. I also used a Paper Artsy Jofy 61 Stamp Set to add the berries down the left side

This time its the lovely Karin who is hosting and the theme is 

Anything Goes 
+ the option of
Blue/Green/White

I made a Christmas card using a brand spanking new 'Sharing A Sip' Cling Stamp 


I coloured with Copic Markers and added a little Sprinkled Sugar Stickles onto the marshmallows and Prisma Glitter onto the hat trims. I finished with some twine, a little Tim Holtz Snowflake Charm and a Small Talk sentiment sticker which I thought went perfectly with mice! ;-)



For the background i used a Coffee Splatter Stencil and Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Ink, for the inside I used a new Stampendous 'Marshmallow Sentiment' Cling Stamp


and I made a coordinating envelope
