Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Seeing Stars

11/12/2014

Fawny Holiday Week, Lawn Fawn

You can find my Fawny Holiday Card here.

Time for a NEW Simon Says Stamp Wednesday ChallengeI am back with a Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge card!

This week’s challenge is Seeing Stars – the design team is featuring Studio Calico! Studio Calico has a lot of fun products and their embellishments are my favorite! I whipped up a fun friendship card using some of their chipboard woodgrain stars, magical stars sequins a clear stamp set and their chevron background stamp.

I started by stamping the chevron background stamp with Hero Arts Latte Chalk ink. I then splattered some Tarnished Brass Distress Spray Stain with a paintbrush. I heat set the background. I then stamped the bulls eye, the arrow and the sentiments with Hero Arts Cup o’ Joe Dye Ink on kraft and fussy cut them out. Adhering them to the card with foam tape I then embellished the bulls eye with one of Studio Calico’s woodgrain chipboard stars. I also added some of their Magical Star sequins. This card is pretty different for me but I am really happy with how it came out. That is what is so great about participating in challenges- they push you to do different things creatively.
