♥ Easter Eggs and Butterflies ♥

Hello there! We have a brand new challenge starting today at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog! It's ANYTHING GOES!!

The Simon Says DT are showcasing products this week by Stampendous! I am using the super pretty Butterflies Clear Stamp Set. This set has big, small and in between butterflies. Love it! So I decided to pretty up some plastic eggs with them for some Easter decor.

I painted some of the eggs with some Prima Opal Magic Aqua Rose Acrylic Paint. Love the shimmery color. (I need to get me more of this paint in different colors!) Other eggs I either wrapped in some pretty papers from the PhotoPlay French Flea Market Paper Pad (love!) or I added some Prima Pink Glitter or Diamond Dust Glitter to others.

I finished it off with some May Arts Natural Twine, pearls and Prima Flowers.  To form the base for the eggs, I simply hot glued some mini grapevine wreaths together and then hot glued some moss to them and then adhered the eggs. :)

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!

♥ Simon Says...Tag You're It! ♥

Hello there! We have a new challenge starting today at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog! This week's challenge is...To create a tag and/or use a tag on your card! 

The Simon Says DT are showcasing products by Ranger. I used several different Ranger products on my tag. I started with a Distress Mixed Media #8 Tag. I added some color to it by spraying some Milled Lavender, Iced Spruce and Vintage Photo Distress Stains on it. I then stamped the Painters Supplies Stamp and The One Stamp by Tim Holtz in Walnut Stain and Black Soot Distress Inks.

I then added some Clear Rock Candy Crackle Paint over the tag and while still wet added some Peeled Paint, Broken China and Antique Linen Distress Glitter. I added the same inks and glitter to the die cut SSS Butterfly. I then added some Distress Grit Paste to the tag and butterfly. I finished off the tag with some pearls, lace trim and seam binding ribbon.
