Altenew Parchment Bouquet

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

This week the challenge is

ANYTHING GOES

We're showcasing some gorgeous products from Altenew this week. You don't have to use them to join in but if you have some we would love to see them used.

You can join 5 times so you could have 5 chances to win! How AWESOME is that!! All winners are chosen randomly, so everyone has an equal chance to win! Woo Hoo!! Good Luck to everyone!

I used a gorgeous Altenew Parchment Bouquet Die Set and a Rounded Rectangles Stencil Set

I colored several pieces of Watercolor Paper with Distress Inks and used these to die cut the flowers. I love the Al;tenew Keyhole system for lining up the layers, it makes them so easy to assemble!

Simon Says Stamp 'In My heart' Blog Hop Day 2

Hi all and welcome to Day 2 of the Simon Says Stamp In My Heart Blog Hop! You should have hopped here from the lovely Anna-Karin Evaldsson's

Blog, if not you may wish to start at the beginning on the Simon Says Stamp Blog.

The lovely Heidi and peeps at Simon HQ sent me a fabulous parcel of 'In My Heart' Products and in it was a gorgeous Flourish Butterfly Trio Die Set, an Impressionistic Flower Stencil and Die Set an Apple Blossoms Embossing Folder and a Best Mom Background Clear Stamp, all of which I used on this first card.

I started by inking up the Best Mom Background Clear Stamp with Storm Grey Ink and then used the Apple Blossoms Embossing Folder to add the texture. I simply colored the butterflies with Yellow Copic Markers and popped them on the front. I used the sentiment from the Impressionistic Flower Stencil and Die Set and a few Irridescent gems to finish.

For this next one I used the same Best Mom Background Clear Stamp and grey ink. I used the Impressionistic Flower Stencil and Die Set and Pawsitively Saturated Inks.

I added a couple of Winsome Branches behind the flower and added some Irridescent Gems, Irridescent String and the die cut sentiment to finish.

Thanks for looking!!
