Simon Says Stamp and Show : A Krafty Challenge

Good Monday Morning to you!!

I am here today to share a card for our latest challenge at Simon Says Stamp and Show: A Krafty Challenge. Oh how I love the look of kraft paired with white, so that was my starting inspiration :) 

On a side note....I am so sad to say that this will be my last post as part of the Simon Says Stamp and Show DT. My new full-time job is totally robbing me of any time to craft...I am so grateful to Simon Says Stamp and all the wonderful team mates I have had the privilege of crafting with.

I really think all colours rock with kraft...you really can't go wrong :)

Just a little close-up to show some details and dimension. Sorry there is no tutorial this week, but this card really is just a simple stamp and layering type of card...no tutorial needed for that! 

I so hope you can join us and show us some of your krafty goodness over at Simon Say Stamp and Show. You just might be the lucky winner of a $50 dollar store voucher to be used in the Simon Says Stamp Superstore :)

Thanks everyone for you support and lovely comments! Have a fantastic day! Hugs, TRace

Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge: Buttons

Good Morning to you all!

I am back with our latest challenge for Simon Says Stamp and Show . It is to use buttons :) Who doesn't love buttons !?! I am once again a "collector" of these pretties....I keep them all sorted by colour in separate jars, the funny thing is that I don't use them very often!....but they sure are pretty to look at! 

So this challenge was perfect for me to "let go" of some of them :)

I knew I wanted to have a flower on my project to house my pretty buttons. So I began by making a coordinating coloured sheet of acetate with my alcohol inks, all you do is drop down the ink...easy peasy!

Then I cut out flowers with my pretty Plentiful Petal die.

I also cut out the same image in white to back the acetate to show off the pretty colours better.

Next I inked up a #10 Manila tag with my Distress Inks and then gave it a subtle image look with a stencil and spray ink.

Using a tag for this projects automatically finished the back of the card too...lol something I never do!!

The inside gets a little inky from the process, so it got a inking too; and also becomes finished ...I think it will look really pretty with white writing :)

I would love to be inspired to use more of my buttons, so please pop on over to Simon Says Stamp and Show and link up your button projects. By doing so you will have a chance to win a $50 store voucher to use in the Simon Says Stamp Superstore:) :) :)

Thanks so much for stopping by to visit! Have a fantastic day! Hugs, TRace
