Merry Christmas card!

Hey everyone,

I played with Simon Says Stamp Believe in The Season release stamp set called Winter Flowers and coordinating dies. I LOVE this style of illustration. The images look pretty and delicate. I have used the new release inks to make this card.

I stamped the images on white cardstock. Then used the inks Merlot, Barely Blue, Evergreen along with older ink Willow to sponge on the images. I used Merlot on the poinsettia and the others on the leaves and foliage. Then used the coordinating dies to die cut them out. On a white card base, I spattered some Finetec Gold Mica watercolour. Then clustered and glued the die cuts as shown. Some of the foliage is glued flush and some are using foam adhesives with the poinsettia adhered using foam for dimension. I brush Wink of Stella liberally all over the die cuts.

Sentiment is die cut using SSS Merry Christmas dies. I die cut three of them using white cardstock, stacked and glued them. I then sponged gold ink on the top layer of the sentiment die cut and adhered on the card front. Finally embellished with Pretty Pink Posh Sparkly Clear sequins.

All the supplies used to make this card is listed below.

Totally Resistible

There are so many resist techniques that we can use! We will be looking forward to seeing what you use to resist!

This week we are showcasing Impression Obsession Products You don't have to use them for the challenge but if you have them we would love to see them used.

As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store

Love resist techniques and I did simple resist technique on the background of my card.

I used Simon Says Stamp background called Abstract Triangles to stamp and white heat emboss on watercolour paper. Then I sponged distress inks Squeezed Lemonade, Mustard Seed at the centre of the paper and Salty Ocean, Mermaid Lagoon and Blueprint Sketch on the outer edge of the paper. The colour brought out the embossed triangles beautifully. I then added clean water to add texture to the background.

For the focal point, I used Winter Silhouette stamp set from Impression Obsession to black heat emboss on a stitched circle white panel. I mounted this focal image on the background using foam adhesive. I white heat embossed the sentiment from the same stamp set on black cardstock, trimmed and adhered below the focal panel. I then embellished the card with Pretty Pink Posh Sparkly Clear sequins.

Hope you are inspired by my card. I have listed all the supplies used below. Now it's YOUR turn. Happy Crafting
