I am back with a Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge card!
This week’s challenge is featuring Kraft – the design team is featuring products from Hero Arts!! I also have a giveaway– so be sure to read until the end!
I LOVE kraft cardstock. I love how clean it looks to emboss a design with clear on kraft cardstock. So that was my focus for this card. Be sure to use an EK Success powder tool to get a nice clean embossed image. I used Distress Inks to watercolor the holly and berries. I then sprayed the heck out of them with Perfect Pearls mist. Hence the shimmer you are seeing in the photo above. I struggled a bit with photographing this one with all the shiny going on 😉 See below in the detail shots the colors and shimmer.
Now for the giveaway!! In order to have a chance to win, just post a comment to this blog post by Thursday October 23rd at midnight. I will post the winner here on my blog on Friday! One lucky winner will get the goodies pictured below!!
Ok- so now it’s time for YOU to enter the challenge. Create something Crafty with Kraft!

I was looking at your card on the Simon blog and trying to figure out what kind of embossing powder you used to achieve such a coppery effect. Clear?!? Never would have thought, but I’m sure going to try it! Absolutely lovely.
Yep- just good ol clear! I actually only really use clear and white for the most part 🙂 happy you came for a visit! Hope you will come again 🙂
