Happy Wednesday to you! We're half way there peeps!! ;)
It's time for a new challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog! This week we want you to...Make Your Own Backgrounds! You can use stamps, stencils, paints whatever you like!!
This week the Simon Says DT are showcasing Gelatos by Faber-Castell. I made the background on my card using the Designing with Gelatos Kit. I just ran some of the colors across my piece of cardstock, rubbed it in with my fingers, spritzed it with a little bit of water (the kit includes a mini spritzer) and then blended it in again with my finger. There is also a tube of Gesso included in the kit as well as a stamp, stencil, drip dropper, paintbrush, a Swatch Journal and a 24 page Design Guide. There are 10 different Gelatos in the kit.
I added some of the Gesso to the heart stamp from the Simon Says Stamp Chalkboard Love Clear Stamp Set and stamped the image directly onto my card front. The fab sentiment and little row of hearts is also from the set. I punched some butterflies out of the corrugated paper included in the kit and added some color to them with the Gelatos. I finished off the card with some May Arts Natural Twine and some White Opal Liquid Pearls.
And don't forget, the super sweet and generous Heidi will give the random winner of this challenge a $50 Credit Voucher to the Simon Says Stamp Superstore! Good luck everyone!
