Simon Says: We're Going Around In Circles

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

This week the theme is

We're Going Around In Circles  

The theme this week is pretty much self explanatory. simply add a circle shape to your creation! You can use dies, stamps, stencils, or even recycle circular objects like tubes, jars, bottles etc, there are so many possibilities! We will be looking forward to seeing what you create! 

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

It's Sonia's last week with us in the Designer Spotlight and we would like to say a huge thank you for all of your absolutely stunning and fabulous creations over the past month!! It has been a great pleasure to have you along with us!

I am going around in circles with Seth Apter Robo Rings and a Tim Holtz Rings Background Stamp. She used a fabulous selection of Distress Oxide Inks for the background before white heat embossing the circle design.

I swiped these 3 colours over a craft mat, spritzed with water and then smooched the watercolour paper in the inks, I dried the inks with a heat tool and then repeated dabbing the paper in the inks to pick up more colour and adding a more marble effect design. 

I then thoroughly dried the paper before white heat embossing the circle design.

I coloured the Robo Rings with the Fossilised Amber ink and layered then as a base for the Tim Holtz Butterfly to rest on ;-)

Simon Says: Anything Goes

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

Thank you for joining us for the Anything Goes Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.

This week the challenge is

Anything Goes 

This week we are showcasing Spellbinders Products.  You don't have to use them for the challenge but if you have them we would love to see them used.

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

I used a Seth Apter  Robo Rings Die Set and Gridiron Embossing Folder

I started by embossing a piece of watercolor paper with the Gridiron Folder and then splattered with Black Marble, Fresh Lime and Lemon Zest Dylusions Inks before blending Hickory Smoke ink over the top. I layered the Robo Rings, cut out of black cardstock and then popped on a lovely butterfly to finish :-) I wanted the butterfly to have some feelers and as they didn't come with the butterfly dies I cut those on a Silhouette Cameo,  a very handy tool to have let me tell you ;-)

I am on my way home from my trip to India so I will catch up with you all soon ;-)
