Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge and this week the challenge is
ANYTHING GOES WITH PEARLS
Please remember to add some pearls, pearlised papers, perfect pearls etc on your creation
We are showcasing BAZZILL 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
Here is my first card - I still haven't the Shabby Chic totally out of my system yet!!!
We are showcasing Bazzill products this week so I've used all cardstock with them - I chose Bazzill Neutrals together with a little of Candy Bar. I distressed my edges with Tim Holtz Tonic Paper Distresser
Our Challenge this week is Anything Goes with Pearls - I have linked the Prima Swirl Lace Cream, I'm not sure this is the particular one as I lost my packet and had to guess which particular one I used. I also used
Melissa Frances Cream Pearls with the center flowers and the other could are some 'out of sale' Basic Grey pears which are a perfect match.
Materials and Tools
Papers: Simon Says Stamp White Card Stock, Bazzill Neutrals & Candy Bar
Dies: Simon Says Stamp Clustered Leaves Die, Simon Says Stamp Bella Bloom Craft Die
Enbossing: Cuttlebug Folder Devine Swirls
Enbossing: Cuttlebug Folder Devine Swirls
Miscellaneous: Melissa Frances Cream Pearls, Prima Swirl Lace Cream
Tools: Martha Stewart Scoring Board, Tonic Studio Guillotine/Paper Trimmer, Fiskars - Stamp Press, Tombow Multi-Liquid Glue, Surebonder Mini Gue Gun, Surbonder Mini Glue Sticks, Tim Holtz Tonic Paper Distresser
Here is my second card - being my usual 'wishy washy' way I couldn't make my mind up whether to be more of a Shabby Chic or more Clean & Simple - so I made both!!! I liked both for different reasons!!
The materials are used basically the same I listed before with the additions of the ones list below.
I used Simon Stamps Full Hexagon Craft Die with the previous Bazzill cardstock and used Simon Says Stamp Braclet Edge Die Set and added a sentiment from Simon Says Stamp Apothercary Die and Lavel Set.
I stamped the sentiment on a My Favorite Things Designer Labels Stax 3, used Memory Keepers Power Punch Crop-A-Dile and attached some Tim Holtz's Idea -ology Crinkle Ribbon once I have died it with Distress inks with Mustard Seed

Simon Says Stamp!
One for her and one for him... Love this neutral color scheme! Love the panels for the feminine design, and your second card is a great version of a sentiment only design!
Gorgeous cards, Heather! Love the textures!
IMHO, you can never have too much shabby chic! Really like the color combos on the first card and the distress edges. Shabby yes, but elegant too!
Gorgeous cards Heather, loving the coffee & cream colours today x Susan x
Lovely coffee and cream embossed panels, and so cool how the flourishes echo the pearls - beautiful, elegant card. And the honeycomb one is so smart and chic - lovely work, as always, Heather!

Such pretty card with the different shades of color brown tones and beautiful die cuts. Thanks for joining in the SweetStamps challenge this week.
It is great to see 2 cards using the same colors- both beautiful and so different! Love the pearls swirl on the 1st and the 2nd is so pretty too! Thanks for sharing with us at SweetStamps.com
What beautiful cards in the earthy tones Heather!! I love the second made for the ODBD challenge with the shaped sides and beautiful patterned background and bow. Thanks for joining us at ODBD this week!!
Both great cards and a great colour scheme. Thanks for playing along at Cuttlebug Mania this time x
Oh My! Both these cards are amazing! The shaped sides on the second card is fab, but the texture and those gorgeous white floral die cuts on the first card seriously blew me away! Thanks so much for playing along with us in the Timeless Tuesday <=> Challenge!
I love the embossing in 3 different colours and your flowers are so pretty. Thank you for joining in with our Let's Feel It challenge at Cuttlebug Mania x
Stunning cards Heather! The 1st one is so elegant and the 2nd one is so fun!!

Great cards, love the shades of colour on the swirly background on the first, but also love the hexagonal background of the second, which feels more modern in contrast! Thanks for joining the Crafty Girls, hope to see you again soon.

BOTH cards are gorgeous! I'm the same way... love the shabby chic as well as the CAS, too.
