Tried out Jennifer McGuire's technique of Distress Oxide sponging and then painting with water to remove some of the colour. I then painted some of the colours back. I only have three oxide inks...(blue green and red) Very happy with this pretty card using Simon Says Stamp dies and stamps. Am entering this into the SSS Flickr group challenge #92 - my die cut is my focal point.

Used #createasmilestamps All Hands On Deck stamp set; #SSSFAVE Stitched Circles and Stitched Rectangles dies.

How cute is this little guy??? I just got the Neat and Tangled Christmas Pageant stamp set. I stamped all the super cute kids on Kraft and colored them with Colored Pencils (a great to-go project for when I'm slow at work ;)). I used a SSS Stitched Circle Die to cut this little snowman out. Day 8 at the Classroom's 12 Tags of Christmas focused on a sketch that I used to create this tag. I used white pigment ink with the SSS Falling Snow stencil to create the background. The pigment ink on kraft was subtle, so I highlighted some of the flakes with white gel pen. I also thought the little snowman circle blended, too much, so I outlined it with the white gel pen. I added a few lines at the stop and the bottom and then the sentiment from the same Neat and Tangled set.

The SSSFlickrChallenge currently is "Anything Goes." This tag uses one of my most-used Simon dies (Stitched Circles), as well as a bonus stencil (Falling Snow), so I'm entering there. The SSS Wednesday Challenge is Stitch it, so I'm entering there, as well. I love a die with stitching - so much impact with so little effort! And finally, the SSS Monday Challenge is Christmas/Winter Holidays, so I'm also entering there.

My April card kit from @simonsaysstamp may have been received a bit late due to Covid, but its theme couldn’t be more timely. The lady is emerging out of the rain and into sunshine. The nerd in me knows that summer doesn’t officially start until the solstice on June 20th, but with temperatures in the 80s this weekend...yeah. Summer is fashionably early. Rays stencil by @mftstamps. Colored with Copics. I’m entering this card in Simon’s Flickr challenge.
