Stamp It

 



This week the challenge is Stamp It (STAMPtember) featuring Simon Says Stamp.

As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $25 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store
I have been invited to be in the Designer Spotlight on the  Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge.   I am so happy to be here and part of the team for STAMPtember.  I love getting stampy & inky.

The background is blended using Distress Oxide Inks, and water stamped with Simon Says Stamp "Soft Plaid" stamp (a technique to remove ink), splattered with Distress Spray Stain n white and black.  The flower stamp is Simon Says Stamp "Beautiful Flowers" stamped with Versamark ink onto Distress Ink smooshed card, heat embossed  in black EP and fussy cut.  The top sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp " Hello Darling" set (I think this must be discontinued), bottom sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp "Beautiful Flowers" both are heat embossed with Ranger Distress embossing powder in Weathered Wood. The trio of dots stamp is also from the "Hello Darling" stamp set.  Banner has silver inked edges.
Also:  Distress Spray Stain splatter, Perfect Pearls spray, Kindyglitz gold (on stamens). Scraps of dictionary page, corrugated card, frosted silver card, silver thread.

I think you've got to be over 60 to get this.  I made this for a cardmaking buddy's birthday.

A couple of patterned papers, hot pink panel cut on the diagonal and edged with gold.  The stamped image is coloured with Copics, fussy cut and popped up.  Glossy Accents on the sunglasses and some gems for sparkle - every chick needs some sparkle!   Does anyone know this image? I have no packaging.
