Simon Says: Flowers!

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

This week the challenge is

FLOWERS

With or gardens, pots and parks now coming into bloom we thought our blogs should join in. Whether you choose to use die cuts, stamps or ready made flowers we are sure that they will all be pretty and we are looking forward to seeing what you make!

We are showcasing Prima Flowers Products this week. You don't have to use them to join in with 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 Jill Mixed Media Doll, White Say It In Crystals, Salvage District Paintables Pack and White Sand Texture Paste,

For the background I inked a panel of Watercolor Paper with Pumice Stone Distress Ink and then using a mask created using a Mixed Media 3 Die I smothered a thick layer of White Sand Texture Paste. when this was dry I coloured it with dabs of Pumice Stone Distress paint and splattered with Black and White Ink. I love the  neutral tones of the stone wall background behind the bright and colourful Jill ;-)

I used scraps of paper from a Doodlebug Paper Pack which is discontinued but this Spring Garden Pack is very similar to give her a flowery top and the roses are miniature Prima Roses, sprayed purple using a Copic Air Brush.

House Mouse 'She Loves Me'

Hi all, I hope you all had a lovely weekend and for those mothers celebrating Mother's Day yesterday I hope you were spoiled rotten 😊

Its time for a new theme on the House Mouse and Friends Challenge. This time it's the lovely Sue K's turn to host and she chose 

YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE

You can also choose the Anything Goes option if you prefer. The main thing is to have fun with House Mouse, Happy Hopper or a Gruffie image

I used a super cute 'Throwing Daisy Petals' image which is now available as 'She Loves Me' cling stamp. The new version has the mouse looking in the opposite direction. 

I took the theme quite literally and went with sunshine and sunny colours

Thanks for looking and I hope YOU will join in with the challenge! 😉

Simon Says Stamp 'Beautiful Ride'

Oh I LOVE bike stamps and dies and I am thrilled that Simon Says Stamp have included them in the latest 'My Favorite' release. I have to say I think this whole release IS my favorite! 😊

I used A Beautiful Ride Stamp and Die Set to make this card.

My friend has recently moved house and this is the card I made for her. She used to be in charge of the local SPCA so I had to pop a 'Jessie' in the basket. Jessie is my fur baby and she was rescued by Betty and the SPCA after being abandoned with her puppies :-(

I recently bought a new release Tim Holtz 'Mixed Media 3' die set and used the brick die to create a stencil. I inked plain white card with Pumice Stone and then blended fired brick over the top.

I decorated the inside to match and just wrote 'Good Luck In Your New Home' on the bricks.
