Simon Says Stamp Bursting Hearts Stencil

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

This week the theme is

All Loved Up 

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 on the challenge blog 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!

It is Claudia's last week with us in the Designer Spotlight and we would like to say a huge thank you for all of your creations over the past month. It has been a real pleasure to have you along with us :-)

I decorated a Small Etcetera Tag using a new Bursting Hearts Stencil a Gell Printing Plate and Paper Artsy Fresco Finish Paints in Orchid Chalk and Bubble Gum to make the background paper. It's ages since I used the Gell Plate and had forgotten how much fun it is!!

I then used the Bursting Hearts Stencil to add texture with White Embossing Paste and while it was still wet I sprinkled WOW Biodegradable Eco Glitter. I used some older Tim Holtz Heart Die Cuts, which I dipped into Picked Raspberry and Seedless Preserves Distress Oxide Ink, sprinkled with Nuvo Cherry Bomb Shimmer Powder and spritzed with water.

I doodled some stitches around some random embossed hearts, added some stamped random text, popped on a few Water Dropets and star confetti, looped some black twine behind the hearts and finished with CZ Designs Reverse Love Sentiment Strips

I tried to capture the lovely shimmer on the hearts but its not showing as much as it does IRL ;-)

Thanks for looking :-)

Art Impressions Cat Mouthful

Hi all :-) I hope all is well and hope you're all set for a fabulous weekend! 

I just had a fun time making a card using an Art Impressions Cat Mouthful Clear Stamp Set! isn't she sassy!! haha 

I won this set on a recent Art Impressions Challenge, so a big thank you to them XXX 

I colored with Copic Markers and added a little sparkle with a Sparkle pen. I love making shaker cards and as this one is for my friends Mum, who will be celebrating her 94th birthday soon I know she will like to 'shake it' up ;-) I added a couple of balloons and some sparkly decorative tape to finish 

and I finished the inside using an older AI Tabby Cat Front and Back Cling Stamp
