Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes & Memory Box

08/27/2014

Time for a NEW Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

I am back with a Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge card! This week’s challenge is Anything Goes – These are always fun because you can just create whatever your little heart desires! The design team is featuring supplies from Memory Box this week. After going through my stash from them I realized I have a lot of their stencils and dies, but none of their stamps! I used the Memory Box Texture Brilliant Designer Stencil and Simon Says Stamp Bring on the Sunshine Stamp Set.

I held the Texture Brilliant stencil in place over a sheet of Distress Watercolor paper with painters tape. Using Distress Ink in Wild Honey, Mustard Seed, Scattered Straw and the mini ink blending tool to blend a gradient through the stencil.

On another piece of Distress Watercolor paper I prepped the paper with the EK Success Powder tool, and then white embossed the “You are my sunshine…” sentiment from the Bring on the Sunshine Stamp Set. I then inked over it in Weathered Wood Distress Ink, the white embossing powder acts as a resist.

I tore a bit of the bottom off for added texture. I also used two layers of foam tape behind the sentiment to have it pop off the card even higher.

    I just found your card, doing a Google search on this stamp set. I am participating in a SSS Flickr group challenge, and found your card to be the perfect inspiration. I am CASEing your sentiment panel and yellow background. I love what you’ve done with this card! Thanks for the inspiration! When I get my post up, I will link back to you.
