I have used some fun and girly Doodlebug products; I used the super fun paper pad called Kraft In Color...luv this pad of paper! I used the sweet pink polka dotted doily and cute sprinkles(enamel dots) from Doodlebug too. I embossed the little tag and added stickles for a little more glimmer and glam...gooooo girly!

Hello


Playing along with a couple of challenges, the inspiration photo from Cure For The Monday Blues is very interesting. I had fun with my card using the peg board, pink, and yellow as my inspiration. I wanted to use a sweet hanging tag, like something hanging from the peg board. The cute tag stamp is from Clearly Besotted....adorable! I used the sketch from Freshly Made, sweet CAS card and lots of fun! Add a little glimmer to your life.....sparkle & shine!

SMILE


I have created this card using my new stencils from Simon Says Stamp called Seeing Spots Stencil Set.  I also used my new Heidi Swapp Gold Color Shine....LUV...I sprayed it on the stencil and then smoothed it out with a sponge for a not so polished look...LUV! I used the My Favorite Things Stamp set, Smile. I had fun with this card using the black, gold, and pink color combo....if you would have asked me a year ago to use gold I would have folded...lol. I have really embraced gold and I must say I truly luv it! Add a little glimmer to your life....sparkle & shine!

wed-newchallenge-header

Hello friends and welcome to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.....hump day just became a little more exciting....teehehehe.

This weeks challenge is to use texture and the design team is using Simon Says Stamp exclusive products.....check out all the products here!

Don't forget every week at Simon Says Stamp we give away a $50 voucher...woohoo...definitely worth playing for!

50dollar_voucher_600px


Let me start by saying, the using texture is one of my favorite techniques; I could seriously use texture all the time. I really get into the process of texture and more than that, I cannot take my eyes off the card once it is complete. I have used lots of different forms of texture, some are very subtle; but for me that is what I like best! On my card today I have used texture in lots of ways, embossed background, torn edges on white piece, curled down corner with a tiny piece of patterned paper to draw your attention(LUV THIS), Wendy Vecchi embossing paste, rolled edge of flower, 3d foam dots, gemstones, and glossy accents. Boy, wasn't that fun, I know I luv finding new ways to achieve texture, I cannot wait to see what you create this week! Add a little glimmer to your life.....sparkle & shine!
