Simon Says: Animal Magic




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

We would like to thank Jennand Teresa for all of their contributions to the challenges and we wish them the very best of luck for the future XX

I, along with DebbyJoLinMandyTracy will remain on the team and we have invited these super talented ladies to join us!

Misty ElamakaHappy Ink Designs will be joining us in a couple of weeks.

Please join us in congratulating our new Simon sisters! :-)

This week the challenge is

Animal Magic   

We are showcasing Gina K  Products this week. You don't have to use them to join in but if you have some we would love to see them used.

As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away a $50 gift voucher to one randomly selected winner to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store



I started by stamping the paw prints randomly onto printer paper and then scanned it so that I could print it using my laser printer. I was really keen to use some Sparkling Silver Fancy Foil from the April Card Kit and a Heidi Swap Minc Foil Applicator to make a sparkly background.  I repeated this step using a Simon's Exclusive Doodle Background Cling Stamp and foiled this design onto a Slate Grey Die Cut Stitched Circle, I then added a little bit of white gel pen to the design. 


This week Tom was the model, I was sorely tempted to pop a tongue on the kitty but then decided against ithaha ;-)



I coloured the little kitty and ball of wool with Copic Markers and stuck them on to the front using 3D foam squares.


I added a couple of strips of Washi Tape and wrapped some Red Twine around the card.

And I finished the inside. 






So now it's YOUR turn to get out your animal supplies and join in!

Simon Says Stamp Penguin

Hi all, its time for the new monthly theme over on the ABC Christmas Challenge. This time it's the lovely Dorte's turn to host and the theme is 


This month we have 2 letters to choose from!

'J' for Joy
and/or 
'K' for Keep it simple

I kept mine fairly simple and used a trio of Simon's Exclusive Penguins to bring 'JOY' ;-)


First of all I smooshed some Broken China and Faded Denim Distress Oxide inks onto a craft mat and dipped the Watercolour Paper into the puddles. When this was dry I splattered with some spray ink and used a falling snow stencil and white embossing paste to add some texture. For the ice flow I tore a strip of white card. 

I die cut the penguins and coloured with Copic Markers and cut the Memory Box letters out of Glitter Card 


and I finished the inside


Thanks for looking! We hope you will join in with the challenges! If you do, by the time Christmas spins around you will have a decent pile ready to send to your family and friends!

Challenges:
