Simon Says Challenge

It's early........it's Wednesday morning.......it's Simon Says Challenge time !!!!

Yes, its that time of the week again when we have another fantastic challenge for you to play along with. Before I tell you more though, thank you so much to all those who entered our Happy Hello challenge and blog hop. I have announced the winner of the Cuttlebug folder (please see post below) and the winner of the grand prize will be announced on the Simon Says Stamp blog later !

This week's challenge is VINTAGE WITH FLOWERS and the DT are this week showcasing Prima flowers and boy, what a selection of Prima's Simon Says Stamp has in store ! It's like a magical garden !

We also have a special Designer in the Spotlight joining us this week. Anna "Queen of Prima" ! and former Simon Says Challenge Design Team Member is joining us !!



The DP's are by Melissa Frances. I have distressed the edges with a distressing tool and antique linen distress ink.

The frame has been made from a cereal box (!) which I cut with my nesties and then painted with picket fence crackle paint, rubbed with antique linen distress ink and then I added a coat of glossy accents, not too thick so I had a subtle shine. I must say, the cereal box was perfect !

I stamped the background of the image with a crackle stamp in antique linen distress ink and then cut out and placed beautiful, sparkly Tilda in the frame. She has been coloured with ProMarkers and I added some stickles to her wings.

The flowers are all Prima and you can find the ones I used here I added some pearl glimmer mist to them and added some pearl brads, raffia and punched leaves from a Woodware punch and Martha Stewart punch.

All the pearls are by Kaiser

The butterflies have been punched from vellum with a MS punch, pearls and stickles added.

The ticket is a Tim Holtz adage ticket which I distressed.

The lace is from my stash.

There is a fantastic prize of a $25, P&P free shopping spree in the Simon Says Stamp Store which Heidi is very generously giving to the winner.

Yet again, my fellow DT'ers have done an a.m.a.z.i.n.g job with their creations this week, you must hop over and visit them and prepared to be inspired !
