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 the super talented Anne and the DT have made!! I tell ya' I have learned such a lot from these girls!! So super talented!!

I love mushrooms and when I saw this GORGEOUS Dylusions Toadstool Town Cling Stamp Set I just HAD to have it!! While I was making this card I thought this would also make a fabulous 'FUN'ghi' Note/Recipe Book to send with the card so that will be my next project, BRB!

When I was writing the words I was going to say 'Buzzin' on by just to say 'Hi' but then I thought, bees don't say that so I stuck with bee language ;-)

I stamped and masked the image, little tip here, make sure you stamp on the correct side of the masking paper as otherwise, after you have spent ages fussy cutting, you will end up with a mirror image of the shape you need, just saying' *ugh* ;-)

After placing the mask over the image I before splattered with Tim Holtz Distress Resist Spray, (so thats my Splattering done *tick*) When the resist was dry I blended a little Broken China Distress Oxide Ink over the top.

I got so carried away with the next bit that I forgot to take more pics, but while the mask was still in place I used a Tim Holtz Leafy Layering Stencil and Hickory Smoke Oxide Ink to add some design to the left side and then sprinkled (so thats the Sprinkling bit done too;-)) with A Bit Jaded and Slime Infusions, spritzed with water and when that was dry I splattered with Dylusings Ink Sprays.

I then coloured using Zig Color Brush Pens and fussy cut the bee used a 3D foam pad to pop her on there. I finished by stitching around the edges, added a little Washi Tape and wrapped some Black Twine and tied a bow! I did finish the inside but left it blank to write a note.

Thanks for looking!

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

This week we are challenging you to

Make Your Own Background

This week we are showcasing the super talented Dyan Reaveley's range of Dylusions Products.

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

This month we have invited the super talented Linda Kunsman aka Heartfully Inspired into the Designer Spotlight. If you haven't visited her blog before then you are in for a real treat! Please pop by to say 'Hi' and to leave her a nice comment.

I made a tag using a variety of Dylusions Products which I will link in the cinlinkz at the bottom of this post.

I really don't have a preconceived idea of what I am making before I start crafting. I decided on what will be the main focus and work from there, it sort of evolves as it goes along. For most of the time I think it looks awful but then I keep going until I am happy with the way it looks. If you are a little bit daunted by mixed media I would really urge you to have a go. It's not as scary as you think and it is a lot of fun! GO FOR IT!! ;-)

I scribbled the Distress Crayons over the tag and blended with a spritz of water and my fingers, I then used stamps and stencils with distress inks to add text, circles and a border design.

I used a How Does Your Garden Grow stamp set for the bird and the flowers and used distress inks to color.

I finished with some Big Chat stickers. Ta Da!! ;-)

Although we do accept all genres on this challenge it would be awesome if you would embrace the world of mixed media and get out your inks, stencils, texture pastes etc and give it a whirl ;-)

Thanks for looking!

So now it's YOUR turn to get creating!
