Simon Says 'Spring Flowers'

The latest Reason To Smile Release from Simon Says Stamp is fabulous and one of my most favorite sets is the Spring Flowers Stamp Set, so pretty!

I made this card to join in with the Less Is More 'Add Some Texture' Challenge

I used a Bundle of Stitched Shapes for the rectangular die cut, this is slightly bigger than the biggest in the Stitched Rectangles Set. and added some texture using my fave Dot Fade Stencil and some White Embossing Paste. I then trimmed some corrugated card from a Tim Holtz Textured Surfaces Pack

I coloured the flower with Distress Inks and finished with a die cut 'Scripty Big Hugs' die cut and some May Arts Natural Twine, I love that this twine is a bit 'hairy', I am sure that there is a better word but I can't think of one at the mo' ;-)

Simon Says Monday Challenge: Inspired By A Song

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

This week the challenge is,

INSPIRED BY A SONG

Choose any song, and use that for inspiration on your project. Please mention which song you chose so that we don't have to guess ;-)

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

I was inspired by Adele's latest song 'hello' ;-)

I used a gorgeous Hearts Stencil by Dyan Reaveley to add texture with Embossing Paste and sprinkled some brand new Simon's Exclusive Antique Gold Powder over the top before heating. This symbolises Adele's old love, which is what the song is about.

I used a Tim Holtz Butterfly Duo Die Cut and coloured with Squeezed Lemonade and Wild Honey Distress inks and then stamped some script over the top, I added a little Prima Rose to finish.
