Please pop by the challenge blog to see what our lovely guest and the DT have made :-)

I used a House Mouse Carrying Candy Canes Cling Stamp and made a simple Christmas card to add to my box! I am hoping to be better prepared this year ;-) 


As I am sure you all know, these little meeces have a special placed reserved just for them in a little corner of my heart ;-) I have such a great admiration for Ellen Jareckie, the designer behind these images. Ellen is a wildlife rehabilitation specialist and her intimate knowledge of these little critters really does show in her artwork, These little mice all have their own personality, don't you think!! ;-)

I coloured the image with Copic Markers and then used a Simon's Exclusive Falling Snow Stencil, White Embossing Paste and a sprinkling of Prisma Glitter to add texture and sparkle. The sentiment is from an older Newtons Nook Christmas stamp set 




So now it's YOUR turn to get out your supplies and make whatever you like!! :-)

Simon Says: Fall/Autumn


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

This week the theme is

Fall/Autumn 

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 at the bottom of this 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!

Please pop by to see what our lovely guest Anne and the DT have made! Awesome sauce!!:-) 

I made a Fall card using Distress Oxide Inks, a Tim Holtz Leafy Layering Stencil and a Simon's Exclusive Leaves and Scribbles Stamp and Coordinating Die Set along with a Thankful Die Set


I started by splattering some Distress Resist onto Watercolor Paper and when that was dry I smooshed Spiced Marmalade, Twisted Citron and gathered Twigs Distress Oxide Inks and dipped the paper into the puddles, drying in between each colour.  I coloured some Embossing Paste with the Twisted Citron Ink and used the Leafy Stencil to add some texture. While this was still wet I sprinkled Prisma Glitter and then splattered with Black Marble, Gold Sheer and Cut Grass Shimmer Inks.

I used Simon's Chocolate Cardstock, I gold heat embossed the leaves and sentiment and finished with  Nature Twine and a few Gold Sequins. 




Thanks for looking!
