Simon Says Stamp 'Encouraging Animals'

We all need some words of encouragement at times don't we!! 

Now we have THE perfect Encouraging Animals Stamp and Die Set to make cards and stuff for everyone!!

I used the super cute bear on m card today, this is for a very special friend who I think might quite like a hug right about now. As I am not there to give her a hug in person I am sending this bear along instead :-)

For the background I used Worn Lipstick, Spiced Marmalade and Broken China Distress Oxide Inks. I smooshed them onto a kraft mat, spritzed with water and picked up the colours with watercolour paper, drying between each colour to avoid a muddy mess. 

I then used a Mini Bubbles Layering Stencil and White Embossing Paste to add texture before sprinkling with a liberal dose of glitter, super sparkly and pretty IRL.

and I picked up the bits of remaining ink for the inside. 

thanks for looking!!

I chose to decorate another page in my Dylusions Creative Dyary this week, I don't want to miss my imaginary test on Friday!! ;-)

I used Kath's tip and swiped Simon's Hybrid Ink Cubes across the days, I used Mint Candy, Hollyhock and Jellybean love this way of adding more colour and interest. 

 I then used variety of Dyan Reaveley Products and other supplies to decorate the pages. I will link everything I used in the links at the bottom of this post.
