Anyway, you are here to see what the new challenge is on Simon Says Challenge, yes ?!!
The gorgeous, super duper talented Martine has given us all a fantastically simple sketch to follow and here it is .....
and, here is my card......
The DP's are the gorgeous, yummy Pink Paislee "Queen Bee" and Simon Says Stamp now stocks the 6x6 pads ! In fact, Simon Says Stamp is now stocking lots of different brands of papers and I am sure we will see more on their return from the CHA show which is very soon.
The image is a stamp from a set called "Friendship" by Inkadinkado. I have heat embossed the image and sentiment with copper embossing powder and very lightly inked the edges with distress ink.
The flowers are Prima Artful Collage. The centres are from my stash.
You can of course buy the stamp set, distress inks and Primas from Simon Says Stamp !
The little gold embellishments were made by me out of air dried clay and a mould. When they were dry, I painted them with white acrylic paint and then Adirondack gold acrylic paint. They are so simple to make and even the kids can get involved and help too ! I got the idea from my gorgeous and inspirational crafting buddy Kim Costello who is amazing with all things embellishment (well, all things really to do with art and craft but if I tell you that, it might make her blush lots and lots !!!!).
The lace is from my stash.
The prize this week is a fantastic $25 shopping spree in the Simon Says Stamp Store
