Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge
This week the challenge is ,,,,,,,,
KEEP IT CLEAN AND SIMPLE
with the optional extra to use one layer
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 thought it was time to use the beautiful Hero Arts Delicate Blossoms image. I wanted to give it a soft, almost ethereal feel so I stamped the image on with Vellum with ColorBox Frost White ink and Zing White Embossing Powder. I used Copics to colour the image with Vellum from it's back - this gives it a more even finish but has to used stronger/darker colours.
I had no narrow pink ribbon to cover the edge of the vellum so I added some Hemptique White Twine and twisted it and coloured with Copics. I cut a border with a Martha Stewart Double Loop punch and added some Hero Arts Pink Pearls.
Materials and Tools
Papers: Simon Says Stamp White Card Stock, Simon Says Stamp Cardstock Cotton Candy and Audrey Blue, Bazzille Vellumm
Punches: Martha Stewart Double Loop punch around the page
Tools: Martha Stewart Scoring Board, Tonic Studio Guillotine/Paper Trimmer, Fiskars - Stamp Press, Tombow Multi-Liquid Glue, Scotch ATG Advanced Tape Glider, EK Success Cutter
There are two images in this set - which one should I use - OK might as well do both!!!
The second one I decided to use in blue and I stamped on the cardstock and coloured with Copics. I intended to use a one layer, when I looked at it it screamed out for a narrow border so I cut the image added the blue border (Simon Says Cardstock Audrey Blue) and added it onto a card.The sentiment is Hero Arts Clear Stamps Say It All and some Hero Arts Clear Gemstones
