Simon Says Stamp 'You Have My Heart'

Hi all :-) the weekend is almost here and with almost the whole world living in some degree of social restrictions there has never been a better time to just stay home, stay safe, and craft!!  

I recently received this gorgeous 'You Have My Heart Die from the Crafty Hugs Release and just had to use it! Isn't it gorgeous!! 


I only used the narrow sentiment part, as I didn't want to cover up any of the background, but it does come with a background layer die too.

Yesterday I found a new (to me) 'Color Hues' Challenge, where the theme is Navy and Cream and I just had to join in!! I love anything blue ,,,, 

The design team have showcased some gorgeous inspirational cards, and I just loved the paper that Carol used, so I tried to make something similar using a mixture of Tim Holtz Alcohol Inks, Copic Marker Refills and a sheet of Champagne Deco Foil, which is quite cream colored ;-)

Tim Holtz Cocktails Blueprints

1


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

This week the theme is

Let's Be On Time

The lovely folks over at Simon Says Stamp are generously giving away a FABULOUS $25 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  on the challenge blog 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!

It's Anita's last week with us in the Designer Spotlight and we would like to say a huge thank you for all of your creations over the past month. It has been a real pleasure to have you along with us :-)

My thoughts immediately turned to 'Happy Hour', something you would definitely want to be on time for, and used a Tim Holtz Cocktails Blueprints Cling Stamp Set for my favorite glass of martini, shaken, not stirred ;-)



For the background I used a Rings Cling Stamp and white heat embossed the design before scribbling a selection of Distress Crayons over the top, ie Mermaid Lagoon, Picked Raspberry, Mustard Seed, Twisted Citron and Spiced Marmalade. I then spritzed with water and blended the colours with my finger. I stamped a few circles in black and then popped a black Ring Frame behind the drink. I finished with a Snarky Small Talk Sticker



Thanks for looking :-)
