simon says stamp/ombre-love

Be sure to check out the Simon Says Stamp Store!

Welcome to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge, we have a fun one for you this week; we are challenging you to a ombre creation. The design team is using goodies from hero arts, what an amazing company!

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

ok, I have a confession...this is my first ombre anything...lol...whew...now we can move forward...lol. I have used an ombre ink pad from hero arts called light to dark peach. I wasn't real sure how to use the ink pad, so I pressed the card stock onto it and continued down to the lighter color. Really simple with a sweet effect, I then stamped the falling hearts with white ink and then went over them with liquid pearls....luv how they turned out! The "love" was die cut and then adhered onto the card. I also added a few pretty pink posh sequins for some extra luv! Add a little glimmer to your life....sparkle & shine, kindness!

simon says stamp/new something-shine bright

Be sure to check out the Simon Says Stamp Store!

Hello and welcome to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge, I luv Wednesdays; sure hope you do too! We are challenging you to "new" something. The team is using products from wplus9, such gorgeous flower stamps! 

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

I have used the gorgeous watercolor anemones flowers for my card today, I used tim holtz distress markers for the flowers. I colored directly unto the stamp and then stamped it and blended with a paint brush and water. I then added stickles to the centers for a little shimmer...luv! My new is the new stamp set, but also a new outlook...you can take it anyway you want. There is always something we can change to be a better person, have a better attitude, or to help others. I have taken the #onelittleword challenge this year...I did not sign up but I am want to incorporate the word shine into my life to expereince growth. If you stop by often you know I adore gems, glitter, bling, sparkle, glimmer, and shine; but the word spoke louder than those things to me. You may or may not know that I am a deep thinker. It is not so I can shine but the things I do shine light, clearness or even like a flashlight for others. shine-to give forth light, to be bright reflected light, glisten; sparkle. to appear with clearness, as feelings. to cause to shine, reflected light. come rain or shine...choose sunshine! Add a little glimmer to your life....sparkle & shine, kindness.
