You’re the good kind of weird, winter card

12/7/2016

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 challenge last week and we hope you will all join us again this week too. This week the challenge is Ice Inspiration! I made this inspiration photo for you, and hopefully it inspires you to be creative!!

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Ice Inspiration

A funny little back story about this inspiration board is I made it back in October before the Simon Says Stamp Believe in the Season Release. When I saw the color scheme of that release I couldn’t believe how I had almost picked the SAME COLOR PALETTE! How fun is that!?!?!

Believe in the Season, Simon Says Stamp

We are featuring My Favorite Things 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!

You’re the good kind of weird, My Favorite Things

Winter Friendship Card with My Favorite Things | shurkus.com

I had so much fun putting this card together. I sometimes have a hard time clustering images together and having a lot of elements on a card without it looking like a hot mess. But I think for once this didn’t happen. I watercolored the images with Distress Inks.

The Distress colors I used (that fit the color scheme for the challenge):

  • Pumice Stone
  • Pine Needles
  • Aged Mahogany
  • Faded Jeans
  • Chipped Sapphire
  • Vintage Photo
  • Spun Sugar
  • Worn Lipstick

I used a white gel pen, Stardust Stickles and moonshine sequins for some accents here and there. I love all the layers and dimension this achieved. This set from My Favorite Things is so fun! I love all the unique friendship sayings on it and the Yet’s are wicked cute!! I have just the special, “weird” friend in mind that I will be sending this too 🙂

Beast Friends, My Favorite Things
