Simon Says Stamp May Card Kit Card ! :-)

Today is the day for the big reveal ! YES ! the Simon Says Stamp May Card Kit is OUT :-)

When I opened the box the first thing I saw was a pack of new TH round blending tools !! WOW I thought :-) !  then unwrapped my lollipop while perusing through the remaining contents and couldn't wait to get started on a card !  :-) I love that this kit is 'Boy' themed, and with the London Marathon being held yesterday I thought a running theme would be quite fitting :-)




I used the Star Stencil, the blending tool, and the Peacock Feathers Distress Ink to make the background and then spritzed with some water to soften the edges. 

Thanks for looking :-) Do you receive the kits ? if not you might like to think of subscribing :-) it really is like getting a birthday present every month !! :-)



Challenges 
Eclectic Ellapu,,, Pinkies,,, One for the Boys 
Keep It Simple ,,,,, Stencil
The Crafting Cafe,,, One for the Boys 




Hope you all have a great week :-)

I used Basic Grey Serenade and Hero Arts/Basic Grey Fresh Cut Raindrops Background Stamp. I also used my Silhouette Cameo Machine ,,,, brilliant invention that is :-)


I inked the raindrops stamp with Simon's Exclusive Sea Glass ink  for the background, I love this stamp and have been using it quite a lot recently :-)

Isn't that little chick adorable, and the treat dispenser, both of these designs are available in the Silhouette Studio. 


I used the Silhouette Cameo to write the sentiment too.
