Simon Says ,,,,,, Autumn Leaves :-)

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

We will be back soon with the name of the lucky winner of the $50 Voucher !! :-)

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

AUTUMN LEAVES 

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

Having recently bought this super cute House Mouse Stamp of the Month for September, ‘Happy Windsay’ I thought this would be perfect for the theme :-)

I stamped twice, coloured with Copics and inked the edges with Stormy Sky Distress Ink. I made the frame using a design on the Silhouette Cameo, using a dark brown card, and embossed with clear and gold embossing powders, it looks quite aged :-) The papers are from a new Lily Bee Autumn Spice pack and I added a swirl using a Simon Says Stamp Exclusives Harrington Vine die.  The sentiment goes along with the image and is called ‘Blows Me Away’

I bought an extra set of these stamps for a blog candy for the House Mouse and Friends Challenge blog hop, so  if you would like a chance to win them see this post :-)

I am currently in Spain on a mini break so I will see you all when I get back

Light Up the Sky with Fireworks !!

November 5th will soon be here and for all those in the UK that will mean bonfires and fireworks  so that is the theme on the Papertake Weekly Challenge ,,,, 

Light Up Your Cards with Glitter  and Sparkle ! :-)

We are sponsored by the lovely Mary and Andrea aka The Ribbon Girl so a fab prize on offer !! :-)

We don’t celebrate Guy Fawkes here but I still wanted to go with the Fireworks theme so I thought I would make a Happy New Year card :-)

For the background I used plain dark blue card and sprayed with Tawny Turquoise spray from Lindy’s Stamp Gang, so shimmery IRL.  I used a Hero Arts Fireworks stamp and silver glitter embossing powder to light up the sky and added a few crystal gems for stars in there too :-)  The London skyline was a design for the Silhouette Cameo and I added some little windows, a gear, also cut on the Sihouette with 2013 in the middle. I made the  Happy New Year sentiment using a Simon Says Stamp ‘oh Happy day’ die,a Sizzix Typeset Alphabet die and lots of crystal glitter :-)

I am now on my way to Seville in Spain for a little holiday so will catch up with you all when I get back

Penny Black ‘Cheers’ :-)

Hi all :-) It was my lovely friend, Charlie’s, 50th birthday party yesterday and this is the card I made for her :-)

Charlie is by no means a cow but I thought this Penny Black ‘Cheers Cow Party’  image was perfect for the occasion :-)

So this is 'Charlie' with her vodka and tonic, coloured with copics and inked the edges with Stormy Sky DI. The papers are  from an American Crafts Sketchbook pack and I used a Sizzix  Rosette die and some Telephone Wire washi tape to make the badge :-) I added some twine, oodles of Star Dust Stickles and a couple of dew drops to finish.

Thanks for looking :-) I hope you’re all having a lovely weekend !
