I must admit I struggled to come with an idea for this challenge but then I found an oldie but goodie Carabelle Studio stamp set that included this lovely quote and then the rest was easy ;-)

I made a card using a flower from a Tim Holtz Large Stems Bigz Die and a quote by Henri Matisse.

I used Fossilized Amber and Spiced Marmalade Distress Oxide Inks along with Paper Artsy Sunset Beach Infusions for the background and added a torn strip of Simple Stories Cottage Fields Paper along the edge.

I dipped the flower in puddles of Antique Linen Distress Ink and then added some script text over the top using Dried Marigold. I then dabbed some glue randomly in places and added some gold foil. I added some stitching, a few sequins and of course the quote to finish.

Thanks for looking :-)

Tim Holtz Large Stems

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

This week the theme is

We're Going Around In Circles 

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!

This is Cath'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 having you along with us :-)

I made a circular card using a Tim Holtz Large Stems Flower for the focus.

For the background I used Distress Oxide Inks in Mermaid Lagoon, Mowed Lawn and Squeezed Lemonade. I used a Darkroom Door Circles Stencil, and a few splatters of Dylusions Inks,  Black Marble, Lemon Zest and Fresh Lime. I also used a Darkroom Door Scratches Cling Stamp and black archival ink to add some more interest. I also doodled a little bit through the stencil using a Copic Multiliner Pen to give the circles a little bit more definition and used a butterfly remnant rub to fill in a little area ;-)

Thanks for looking :-)
