Simon Says ,,,, Kristina’s Inspiration Challenge :-)

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

This week the challenge is ,,,,,,,,

KRISTINA'S INSPIRATION

The design team have created some awesome projects for your inspiration, we are all featuring Basic Grey products.You don't have to use them to join in but we would love to see them used if you have them :-)

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

When I saw the inspiration photo I just HAD to use this cute Stamping Bella, Mo Manning image called Patience :-)

I coloured with Copics and added Star Dust stickles to the floor. The papers are basic Grey from a Paper Cottage pack and plain black card for layering. I used a Tim Holtz Rosette die and cut it out of plain white card, I then stuck a strip of Argyle Magic Washi Tape along the inside edge before folding and finishing with a BG Button which I threaded with Magic Twine and tied a bow. I also used some of the washi tape across the lower panel and finished with a pin and what I think is THE perfect sentiment tag from a PB&J Pins and Tags set.

I finished the inside using a sentiment and cute little cat stamp from a Crafty Secrets Party Cats set :-)

Thanks for looking :-) I have scheduled this post so I hope it works OK :-) I will be home very late on Sunday so I will catch up with you all next week

Please pop on over to the Simon Says Stamp Challenge to see the gorgeous cards made by Kristina and the DT :-)

Crafting For Gold Day 2

Hi all :-)Here we are with Day 2 of the Crafting for Gold event :-)

Todays challenge is

CREATE YOUR OWN BACKGROUND

Todays sponsor is Indigo Blu , please pop over to the Crafty Ribbons Inspiration Blog for more details of the prize and to join in !! :-)

I decided to make a tag today :-)

I started with a basic white tag from Tim Holtz and inked with the new Summer Seasonal inks and a little Vintage Photo around the edges. I then splashed with water to create splotches, distressed the edges and used a Tim Holtz stamp inked with brown chalk ink.

I used various stamps from the Indigo Blu ‘Sewing Mends the Soul’ set, stamped and coloured with copics and then adhered with scrap dots. I added a strip of Sentiment Ribbon along the side and added some Vintage Buttons too. I used some 7mm Natural Silk ribbon, some Vintage Twine and a scissors charm from my drawer to finish.

Please pop over to the Inspiration Blog to see what everyone made and to join in too ! :-) I will pop round to see you all when I get back from my trip :-)

RIBBONS !!

I had a lot of fun making this card :-)

I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out the ‘envelope from Kraft card and I then stamped this using a Hero Arts Chevron stamp inked with a Latte ink pad. I then wrapped a lovely Summer Breeze Lime Ribbon around and tied a bow :-)

For the inset I used Neenah card and I used a TH distress tool to colour with Shabby Shutters DI . The flowers were part of the same design on the silhouette and I coloured these with Fired Brick DI and then sprayed with Studio Calico Shine. When that was dry I stamped the using the same Latte ink and a HA Dots stamp. The flower centres were coloured with Spiced Marigold ink and I popped a fab Flower Button in the middle. I made a little ‘flag’ using a Sentiment ribbon and the lovely pin is from a PB&J pins and tags set.

Just for a change I thought I would use a House Mouse stamp this week

This one is called ‘One Mouse Band’ ,,, soooo cute !! :-)

I stamped him onto Neenah card, coloured with Copics and inked the edges with Stormy Sky and Forest Moss DI. The papers are from a Bo Bunny ‘Ambrosia’ pack and I used a GORGEOUS Bella Bloom die, I thought the smaller inner flowers resembled the flowers on the image, I used a Fresh Daisies die to make the stems and popped an Allegro Corner on there too, all these were coloured with copics. I added some Hero Arts gems to the centre of the flowers and wrapped some Hemptique twine around the panel. On the corner I used a Black Viva Pearl Pen to make the flower centres and finished with a few Dew Drops :-)

I decorated the inside using a Fresh Daisies die cut and an ‘Oh Happy Day’ die too
