Hello Dear Friend

08/10/2016

Note: Don’t miss my feature on Lawn Fawn’s site!
Time for a NEW Simon Says Stamp Wednesday ChallengeHey everyone! Welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge! Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Fabulous Florals challenge last week and we hope you will all join us again this week too. This week the challenge is Just Go Wild! You could use a wild animal image on your creation, or you could go wild with wildflowers or with colors! Just Go Wild and have fun, we will be looking forward to seeing your Wild Side!

We are featuring WPlus9 Products this week. You don’t have to use them to join in with 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! YAY!

Kid'sChallenge-01

Before I tell you about my card this week- did you see we are hosting a Kid’s Challenge?! Be sure to check it out!

Still rocking some cards to share handmade kindness like I was sharing here. I didn’t have any animal stamps in my stash so I took the meaning of wild, as in flowers 🙂

Hello Dear Friend | WPlus9

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Lets Go Wild featuring WPlus9 | shurkus.com

Beautiful Dahlia, Wplus9

I stamped the Beautiful Bouquet Dahlia with Versafine and then quickly embossed it with clear detail embossing powder. I then watercolored it with Distress CRAYONS. I know.. it’s a shock that I didn’t use just the ink pads 😉 Watch this quick video to see a behind the scenes process.

I basically put down a light foundation of the color, blended a bit then took the crayon directly to the paper to really make the colors pop. I just LOVE how this came out, and I liked the process and how I couldn’t be as exact with coloring. I white embossed the sentiment on black card stock and splattered some Picket Fence Distress Spray Stain on Kraft Cardstock.

    Love the bold colors you got with this technique. Way to branch out from the ink pads 🙂
