Simon Says: Anything Goes

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

This week the challenge is

ANYTHING GOES

We are showcasing CLEARLY BESOTTED PRODUCTS this week. You don't have to use them to join in but if you have some we would love to see them used.

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

I used Best Birthday Clear Stamp Set and Co-ordinating Dies

I needed something cute but more masculine and I think this has worked perfectly, aren't those panda balloons adorable!! ;-)

I made a cloudy sky using a die cut cloud as a mask and then used a copic air brush, my fave and easiest way of creating a sky.

I rounded the balloons using an embossing tool, lubricated with a smidgeon of soap, and then gently rounded on the reverse side.

and this is the inside view

Our GD,Vera, will be once again hosting the annual Caring Hearts Card Drive and Simon Says Stamp will be sponsoring. The details of the drive will be posted on Vera's Blog on Saturday 3rd October. Please pop by for more details of this very worthwhile cause.

STAMPtember® Santa At The Beach

Did you know that there are only 85 days left to Christmas!

Now is definitely the time to make a start on your cards if you haven't already ;-)

This time on the ABC Christmas Challenge Carissa is our hostess and the theme is

'T' is for TRANSPORT

I used a new Santa At The Beach Stamp and Die Set, don't you just love a surfing Santa!

My nephew lives down under so I thought this would be perfect for him. He used to design cards and calendars for one of the large stationary producing companies in the UK so his card does have to be a bit extra special ;-)

I inked the 'sea' with Tumbled Glass and Stormy Sky Distress Inks before spritzing and splattering with Sparkle Shimmer Spritz, it is lovely and sparkly IRL. If you don't have this Spritz, then you definitely NEED it! My fave product at the mo' ;-)
