Simon Says Stamp 'Always and Forever'

Hi all :-) I was thrilled when Crissy invited me to be a Guest Designer for the 'CAS(E)' this Sketch Challenge, always fabulous sketches and I love this one designed by the fabulous Donna Mikasa 

and this is the card I made using a gorgeous new Always and Forever Stamp and Coordinating Dies from Simon Says Stamp 

I splattered the Wonky Rectangle with Silver Shimmer and Tumbled Glass Spray Inks and then added a torn strip of Vellum across the bottom. To keep in with the sketch, and after scratching my head a little bit, wondering what I could add, I then glued on a wonky row of Studio Katia Sparkling Crystals 

and I finished the inside 

and made a coordinating envelope 

Thanks for looking! I hope you will all join in with this fabulous sketch challenge! :-)

I used a Peeking Puppy and a Do I Smell Cake? Cling Stamps

I coloured with Copic Markers and cut out the paws and gently rounded them using an embossing tool and popped them up onto the table with 3D foam squares. Don't you just love his cute face with his lovely wet nose! awww ❤️

I used Simon's Dark Chocolate Card Stock and made the frame using a MFT Stitched Rectangle Frame Die Set . For the table I used Watercolour card, a Stamp Market Woodgrain Stamp, Archival Black Ink and Walnut Stain Distress Oxide Ink .

and I finished the inside by re-aranging the sentiment and adding a cake from a Hero Arts Alpaca Set ;-)

I made a Valentine card using the Simon Says Stamp 'Love Always' February Card Kit and a Wonky Hearts Die Set

I love these papers from an Authentique Romance Paper Pack and I am going to have to get another pack of these, so pretty and vintage looking :-) I used a strip of the paper and distressed the edges before adding a little Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink along the edges. I then used a Simon's Exclusive Heart Layers Stencil Set , Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide, White Embossing Paste and Prisma Glitter to create some added interest and texture in the background.

I cut a few Wonky Hearts using Cotton Candy and Black Cardstock, I then used a sentiment stamp in the kit and the Worn Lipstick Ink to heat emboss some interest onto the black hearts. I used some of embroidery floss in the kit to wrap around and tie little bows. 

And I finished the inside, the sentiment is from a page in the paper pack.  

and I used the scraps of eftover paper to decorate one of the lovely shimmery envelopes that are also in the kit! 

These kits are fabulous value for money and this one is an especially LOVE'ly one! ;-) If you would like one you will need to be quick because they are selling out super fast! ;-)
