Simon Says ,,,,,, Make a Tent Card and add charms

Long post ,,, get coffee !! :-)

Thanks for all your lovely entries to Domi's Sketch Challenge :-) I am sure all of you know that Domi got married on Saturday and she has some beautiful wedding piccy's on her blog :-) She looked positively radiant ,, so beautiful,, and her hubby is very handsome too ! :-)

This week, on the Simon Says Stamp Challenge we are asking you to make a tent card and add some charms to it ! If you are unsure how to make one of these simple yet effective cards, our amazingly talented DT member, Dena, has written a tutorial with photos which you can find here.

Heidi is offering one lucky entrant a $25 shopping spree to her Simon Says Stamp Superstoreand with all the fantastic stuff arriving almost every day the choice is FABULOUS !! :-)



For my card I got out all my Tim Holtz goodies and had a play :-) At first I thought I would use his Chandelier stamp ,,, and was soo wishing I had bought the gorgeous Blue Moon birdcage charm ,,, anyway ,, in the end I decided to use my Weathered Clock stamp :-)



I dabbed some Antique Linen, Faded Jeans and Dusty Concorde ink on a craft sheet and sprayed with water ,, swirled some white card around in it then dried with a heat gun ,, and repeated a couple of times. I then stamped the clock in it and cut it out ,, then I added some Black soot ink to darken it a bit. The papers are from Creative Imaginations ( can't wait for my new Tim holtz ones to arrive,, they are probably Mid Atlantic now :-)) the frame was cut out on my Cricut. I stamped the frame with a TH swirly stamp in gold pigment ink then sprinkled with Vintage Photo distress embossing powder. The grungeboard hinges were given the same treatment.

For my charms I used a Tim Holtz Fragment Charm, I stamped a TH saying stamp on a scrap of the DP, glued it to the charm and cut around it. I also used a TH Muse token charm in the center of a flower. The flower is also Tim Holts ,, inked with the same distress inks and stamped in gold, used the same distress powder on it too ,,, it looks really good IRL !! honest !



I smothered the clock with Rock Candy Distress Crackle paint and added some TH clock hands and a clip to hang it on the frame. Think thats all ,,, sorry for all the waffle :-)

The DT have made some amazing cards for you to see :-) Hope you all join in with us this week

I have a GORGEOUS blog candy sponsored by Heidi at Simon Says Stamp if you would like to take a peek it is at the top of my blog :-)

For my card I followed Claire's lovely sketch on the Moving Along With The Times Challlenge and in the process ,, completely forgot the shaped card bit of our challenge ,,, good job it is optional !! oops :-)



I used a this lovely Mo Manning stamped image that Cathy sent to me ,, thanks Cathy :-) This one is called Siku and Shiya, I coloured them with copics and added flower soft for snow and ice stickles for sparkle :-) The papers are Basic Grey and the ribbon is from my stash, The sentiment is Hero Arts and it says 'let It Snow' ,, it doesn't show up n the piccy but lookd nice IRL :-)
