♥ Simon Says...Anything Goes ♥

Hello there! I hope you all had a lovely Christmas or a happy Hanukkah! Our Christmas was wonderful! Spent with loving family and friends. My kids had a blast and is having fun playing with their new toys and being off of school this week! :) Can't wait for 2017!!  And I can't wait to see all of the amazing submissions this week at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog! Our new challenge is...Anything Goes!   

The Simon Says DT are showcasing products by Lindy's Stamp Gang this week! Love their sprays and powdered pigment stains! I am using the Mermaid Seashells Magicals Set on my card. I first sprayed my background panel with the blue color in the set by adding some to a spray bottle with hot water. I then added the other colors to the strips of papers by just wetting my finger and dipping it into the powders. Love the shimmer they have!

I used a MFT Pierced Snowflake die cut, Aleene's Glitter Snow Paint, Diamond Dust Glitter and some HA Mixed Accents. The stamped sentiment is from the Simon Says Stamp Frozen Fractals Clear Stamp Set.

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!

The background paper is from the Sweet Peppermint Paper Pad by Prima. I also added some HA Neutrals Mixed Accents (white pearls) as well.

This week the Simon Says DT are showcasing products by Mama Elephant. I made this super sweet gift set that is perfect for a last minute gift idea using the Retro Holiday Labels Clear Stamp Set. I simply stamped some of the sentiments onto some Neenah Solar White Cardstock with the Lipstick Red Ink Pad by Simon Says Stamp. I then ran some Aleene's Tacky Glue along the edges of the cut out sentiments and then added some Diamond Dust Glitter to them.

The "snowglobe" was made using the top of the mason jar and half of a plastic ornament.

I hot glued some little candy canes and peppermints, pearls (snowballs) and gems to the top before adding some more of the Diamond Dust Glitter to it. I then hot glued the ornament half to the top of the lid. Makes a great presentation and the jar can be filled with whatever you like! :)

I also made a matching little card as well.

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!
