Simon Says Stamp Fall Flickr Challenge #82!

Happy Monday crafty friends! Hope you enjoyed your weekend, I sure did - didn't have to work so I did find some crafty me time!  

I made this one for the current Simon Says Stamp Flickr Challenge #82! All about fall!

I had such fun using the exclusive to Simon Says Stamp Neat & Tangled Hello Pumpkin set! I started by die cutting my base panel from a Lawn Fawn Inside Out Stitched Scalloped rectangle die and placed my images so that I could stamp the leaves in the sky and the caramel apple on the base. I stamped and cut masks for the images that were directly stamped on the card base and used my Distress Oxide in Salty Ocean for the sky (I masked off my ground first). I then switched the mask and used a mix of Antique Linen and Gathered Twigs Distress Inks for the ground. I then sprayed the sky only with my Distress Sprayer for texture.

I stamped my images from the Hello Pumpkin set and used my Copics to color them in bold fall colours (I do love fall) and used the accompanying dies.  I decided on the Simon Says Stamp Painted Hello die for my sentiment in Black card stock along with the Sweet Friend from the Forever Friends stamp set.

I put my card together and added some of the Studio Katia sequins (I love this mix).  Thanks for taking the time!

Simon Says Stamp Flickr Challenge - Think Spring!

I have been so busy at work lately and with my other commitments that I have not had a chance to participate in a challenge!  I love participating in challenges so this week since the theme over at the Simon Says Stamp Flickr Challenge is Think Spring I had to play :)

These are colours that I never use!!! I am trying to get out of my comfort zone lately and trying new things.  I used the Simon Says Stamp Exclusive Sketch Ranunculus stamp set with my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers - this set lends itself beautifully to a water based product.  I die cut the Simon Says Stamp Exclusive Painted Hello die from black card stock and white embossed the "Friend" sentiment. I then added some Neat and Tangled sequins in the same colours! 

Thanks for taking the time!
