Simon Says..................Thanks/Thankgiving

Hi and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.  This week our theme is...

THANKS/THANKGIVING

We are showcasing HERO ARTS  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 $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store!

I've had the Hero Arts Large Pattern Flower stamp some time but never used it as yet so here is it's first outing.  I started off using orange and rusty colours - it looked stunning but wouldn't photograph - probably the lousy photographer!!!

I used to have a Magnolia soulangeana with the deep pink colours so I opted with pink.

I embossed the base and coloured the flowers with Distressed inks. The darker border is a very dark pink although it does look almost black.
