Simon Says: Not A Card on the Monday Challenge










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

Not A Card

This is an easy one, you could make something simple like a tag or bookmark, or be more adventurous and decorate a journal page or make a Halloween or Christmas decoration. Whatever you decide to make we will be looking forward to seeing your creation!

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

Please pop by and see what our fabulous guest designer, Wanda, and the DT have made!! Awesome Sauce!! 


I couldn't decide what to make so I made a couple of things ;-)


Fist I made this  Halloween Framed Panel using a Haunted House Stamp Set.


I wanted the house to be very dark but the oxide inks do tend to cover any existing stamping so to get over this I used a MISTI Tool and stamped with Archival Black, I also created a mask to cover it while I was blending and splattering the background.
 I then used Distress Inks to color and when it was all very dry (helped along by using an iron) I popped the panel back into the MISTI and heat embossed the haunted house. 

You can see the embossing more clearly on this artsy angle ;-)

I love this witch, isn't she cute going out for her night flight with her little kitty, super adorable. This would be me if I was a witch ;-) 


I then decided to make a little spooky treat bag using a lawn Fawn Goodie Bag Die, some Tim Holtz Paper and a few of  Tim Holtz Halloween Dies. 

 I just need to get some spooky candy to pop inside. 


I am really loving' Rusting Powder!! it looks awesome on the gates don't you think!! :-)



Thanks for looking! 

So now it's YOUR turn to get creating and make something a little bit different!! We do like the Monday Challenge to encourage the more 'artsy' side of you so get out your paint, glues and whatnots and have fun!

Reminder for the House Mouse Anything Goes/Halloween Challenge



Hi all, I am the hostess this fortnight on the House Mouse and Friends Challenge  and I chose the theme 

Anything Goes with the option of Halloween

I used a super cute Garlic Scare Cling Stamp that I think has now been discontinued :-( 


I also used a discontinued Doodlebug Paper Pack so I am not having much luck with linking supplies today :-/ 

I did use a new Tim Holtz Mini Halloween Things Die Set for the spider and ghost ;-)


and I finished the inside.  The sentiment is also an old House Mouse stamp. 



We are sponsored by the lovely peeps at 

Winner will receive a Fabulous $20 Value Reward Card



AND 

I will be giving away this super cute 'Tissue Box' Cling Stamp, perfect wth the nasty cold and flu season around the corner ;-)

How exciting is that! :)
