I couldn't make my kind up wither to make a card for House Mouse & Friends of LIM, so I decided to combine the two.

I need a bay card for a neighbour and needed to be simple, I used the spotty embossed cardstock and slit across one piece to tuck in the tag which is shaped with a Cas-ual Fridays Bubble Label. The tag was stamped with a Mouse Mouse image called 'Cozy Shoe' and coloured her with the usual Copic Markers, I stamped the 'Hello' and die-cut the 'Baby'. To finish the card I attached some ribbon and twine around the tag.

Lifelong crafters Mother and Daughter, Mary and Andrea were tired of having to buy full rolls of ribbon and lace when they only needed one metre. Because they love ribbons and all things pretty, they decided to open their own online shop in 2010 and make small quantities of beautiful products easily available to all crafters. Mary owns the shop and runs it on a day to day basis as well as keeping the website updated while Andrea looks after the social side, The Ribbon Girl Blog and the Design Team. They specialise in supplying small (or large) quantities of ribbon, twine, gorgeous vintage style lace and seam binding ribbon, tiny pom-pom and ric-rac trim, all sorts of buttons, fancy pins, a multitude of charms, pearl and crystal flourishes, wool felt squares, seasonal and unusual embellishments, mulberry flowers, sticky tape and accessories to card makers, crafters, scrapbookers and cake decorators. They stock only the best quality products and only offer for sale goods that they would personally buy and use themselves

Simon Says...............Clean and Simple

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

This week the challenge is

CLEAN AND SIMPLE

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

We are showcasing Hero Arts products this week and firstly I used this Fabulous Flourish.

This is a very quick card as I had onother new stamp I wanted to 'play' with.  I have quite a few flourish stamps but this one so stunning.

My second card for this challenge

I tried many ways of creating this stamp. Firstly I used water paints and spritzed them but didn't have much success. I think the the very detailing of the stamp wasn't the best for that technique, so I then tried to stamp with distress inks very lightly spritzed, eventually I tried using Simon Says Stamp Premium dye inks, again very lightly spritzed.

My favourite result is  Simon Says Stamp Premium dye inks (Sorry TH.)

This one is my favourite of the all - I used Simon Says Doll Pink Dye Ink and mounted by the Doll Pink Ink Cardstock

This is the four I used inked by Simon Says Stamp Premium dye inks - when I see (on the computer) I think the Coral Reef has a gorgeous result!!

Here is the results of the stamps used with Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Inks.
