Simon Says meets Stamp with Fun

Its been a crappy few months for me, made worse with having to face seeing in the New Year waiting for a scan on my Ovaries to see if I have a Cyst or something Nasty going on in that area!

To take my mind off this, I have attempted to finish these cards which I coloured images for the other night!

I am entering these all into Simon Says Challenge - Saying Merry Christmas! and Stamp with Fun which is Little Presents!

For all of the cards I've used My Minds Eye - Wonderland Winter 12x12 scrapbook papers

Embossed behind every image by masking and stamping the WoJ Winter Swirls and using Clear Embossing powder.

Card/Ribbons/Charms from Stash

Second Card

Used a green pigment ink pad for this embossing

Glossy Accents added to the pressie and hair ribbon

Third Card

Clear embossed this back ground, added glossy accents to the canes and the ribbon on the pressie

Thank you for popping by. I'm hoping to get some more finished that I started a couple of weeks ago, but haven't been able to face in a while!

Hope you all have a lovely weekend!

Simon Says Challenge ~ Animals

Hi Everyone :o)

I hope you are all having a lovely week, its been raining here today in Dorset, so I didn't feel like tidying the house, or going out to play, so Poppy and I had a fun filled day of playing and sleeping he he... However, once the little mite was down for the night, I had a play and this is what I came up with...

Over at Simon Says Challenge - The theme for today is ANIMALS :o)

What better animal to use than one of Dustin Pikes Digital Monkey's? I'm hoping Simon Says allows Digi Stamps as I don't have many stamps that are animal that I can ink up, and none no where near as cute as this one! I'll have to get a wish list started soon...

I've kept the card almost minimal. I decided to stick with two colours - Red and Blue.

I had some buttons in my stash that I thought I'd never use as they've been sat there for ages and today I finally used them, whoop whoop. I threaded them with some red ribbon also from my stash and tied them in a knot.

I cut out the image using my Nestabilities Large Circle and then alternated between colours and sizes of the Circles and Scalloped Circles.

I coloured the Monkey using my Copics and highlighted him with the Inkssentials pen. I think I'm getting a little better at using this pen, although I never seem quite confident enough to put it to an image, until I make the first highlight. Well, that's it really.

Thanks for popping by my little 'ole blog, enjoy the rest of your week ...
