The stamp is one of my favorites “Earth Has Music” from Simon Says Stamp. I colored the feathers with Distress Inks and the flowers with Copic Markers. The sentiment is also from Simon Says Stamp's “More Good Vibes.” This is for the Let's Color Challenge. SSSFlickrchallenge#117

Created this card for the Simon Says flickrchallenge#110. Using the Sketched Flowers stamp set and my new intense color blocks on craft paper.

The challenge this time is "Something New." I created this card with the SSS Circular Lace stencil, Nuvo glimmer paste, a Hero Arts sentiment, and SSS nesting hearts dies. Distress Oxide ink blending is the bottom layer.

SSSFlickrChallenge#35 (watercolor) meets SSS Monday Challenge ("new"), Take 1. I used the negative of the hello die cut on watercolor paper, and traced the word using the Molotow masking pen. Once it dried, I watercolored over it with Gansai Kuretake paints. I splattered some water, and lifted it after a few seconds to give it more texture. Interesting how these particular colors reacted more than the reds/pinks I used for my other card. Not sure if it was just this one was more dry, or if some colors just reactivate better?? The "hello" felt a little lonely, so I stamped the "friend" from an older set by SSS. Does anyone else have Adele in their head now? So this was a new masking technique I learned at SSS Create, and then finally had to courage to try on my own this weekend. Pretty cool. It's not perfect, but it does give you a nice look with masking! And the die is a good way to cheat since my handwriting will never been as pretty as Kristina's!

SSS Products Used: Painted Hello Die, Favorite Flowers stamps, Smoke card stock.

Made this card for SSS Flickrchallenge 96, embossing. All stamps and stencils are from Simon Says Stamps and heat embossed in clear with versa fine black onyx ink.

My friend, Marie-Françoise, came crafting yesterday and borrowed my new "Heart of Roses" die. Cut it in different colours and then mix and matched them back together.

So glad to hear that Simon's Flickr challenge has "joined" #thedailymarker30day. Gave me an excuse to color this beautiful stamp once again (hope you're not tired of it). I was inspired by @starofmay to use Polychromos pencils on gray cardstock. I also challenged myself to use pink colors (not my favorite), and to make it a one-layer card, but I loved how it turned out.

For the sssflickrchallenge#91

I used my Simon snowdlake dies for this holiday card for SSSFlickrchallenge#162

Carissa Wiley suggested the idea of using your tiny dies to highlight patterned paper in the Stretch Your Dies class over at Online Card Classes. I pulled out my SSS mini hearts set with this cute, springy patterned paper. I used the Sending die by SSS, cut it out of white card, colored it with a Copic marker, and then hit it with a silver wink of stella. I finished the sentiment with the stamp from Sending Happy Thoughts by SSS. Polka dots and pink make me think spring, so I'm entering this into the SSSFlickrChallenge#15.

Birthday card using SSS Flower Cluster die and Sending script die. Entering into the SSSFlickrchallenge#192.

I love that this card is fall themed, without being heavily fall colored.This is my go to technique for coloring stamped images for cards. I used two different Simon Says Stamp stamp sets for this card- Thanks & Leaves (SSS101894) and Delicate Flowers (SSS201900). For additional information and how I put this card together, please visit my blog at: wemartins.blogspot.com/2019/09/embossed-watercoloring-wit...

Aside from card making, I love to use my scraps to make tags and other keepsakes. For these tags, I used the clipped heart die, the tiny spaced hearts stencil and the blossom field 3D folder - all from #simonsaysstamp

SSSFlickerChallenge#180 Embossing. I used the Marilyn stencil to dry emboss the card. Distress ink coloured (Tumbled Glass and Peacock Feathers) and stamped Friendship text onto it. Once dry, dry embossed and then lightly sanded to highlight the pattern. Die cut flowers out of Canson XL and watercoloured them with Gansai Tambi paints. Wrapped embroidery thread around and added the Simon Says Stamp strip sentiment to finish it off.

Used Sketched Flowers stamp set from Simon Says Stamp. When I was done coloring I layed some baking paper over and traced the outline. Then I took that paper and layed it over some masking paper with the pencil line down. Drew the outline again on the backside of the baking paper and transferred the pencil onto the masking paper. Cut that out and layed it over the image. Used Art Deco stencil form Gina K. Designs with Distress Oxide Iced Spruce.

This was created for the SSS Flickrchallenge#74, Stunning Stencils. The background was a discarded experiment, but I decided to use the swirls and dots stencil with glass bead paste, giving it a cool texture. I then cut the single roses dies out of plain white. All products from Simon Says Stamps

The shine strips is metallic cardstock from @tim_holtz. I'm running out of it so I need to get some more!

The heart is the Shimmer Heart die from @simonsaysstamp, sentiment from @altenewllc 😊

I've put vellum behind the heart ♥

I used the Best Mom Ever stamp set (Simon Says Stamp) with white embossing powder and added color with watercolor pencils and a water brush, enamel dots for embellishments. I love how the colors really stand out on the kraft card base.

I LOVE all of the Suzy's printables/paintables. :) . Made for the SSSflickrchallenge#100.

My favorite technique right now is stamping and embossing images in white on watercolor paper and then adding color with Distress inks. I just love how the white pops and this makes the image shine. The butterflies are from Clearly Besotted and the die cut word sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp using a silver glitter paper.

Made this little shaker card for the Little Tangles Challenges.. More info on my blog thecreatcorner.blogspot.dk/2016/08/little-tangles-71-shak...

SimonsaysStamp’s current Flickr Challenge is about Friendship and Flowers! ⠀

The SSS Wednesday Challenge this week is about using something other than a rectangle or a square. So I ventured into tags. Used my favorite Large Tag die by SSS for the base, so this also fits into the SSSFlickrChallenge#23. And may I just put in a plug here to the designers at SSS - I would love a stamp set to go with these tags!!! A stitched border... "to:" and "from:" and various accessories for different themes. Just sayin' :)

The Christmas color scheme fits perfectly into the MFT Complementary lesson over at their 2nd session of summer school, as well. Who ever thought summer school could be fun!?

SSS Products Used: Large Tag Die cut, Lipstick Red Ink, Green Leaf Ink

Other products: Peace On Earth (Verve), Party Hangover (Winnie and Walter), Classic Christmas sequin mix (Pretty Pink Posh).

After being in Baja for the winter I'm really enjoying getting back into card making. Entering this in the Simon Say Stamp challenge, Die Cutting!

Hello, everyone. Approaching of the New Year motivates me to the changes, which are unavoidable . I decided to myself that changes are necessary and I want to make more simple cards. That's why making maximum simple is something new for me, the 87 challenge on flickr of @simonsaysstamp motivates me for that. It called accordingly - "Something New". I decided to use nonstandart pallet for me, nonstandard composition and minimum of details - shortly, that's really something new for me and I'm very happy with such a cute result 😊. / Всем привет. Приближение НГ мотивирует на изменения, которые попросту неизбежны . Я для себя решила, что пора что-то менять и мне хочется делать более простые открытки, поэтому для меня делать максимально просто - это что-то новое, как раз на это меня мотивировал 87 challenge на flickr @simonsaysstamp, который так и называется "Something New." Я решила использовать для себя нестандартную палитру, нестандартную для меня композицию и минимальное количество деталей - в общем, подобный стиль для меня что-то по-настоящему новое и я так рада, что результат вышел таким привлекательным;) 😊 #simonsaysstamp #sssflickrchallenge #distressink #card #cardmaking #znatka2007 #znatka2007cards #coloringtime #coloring #shinhanart #touchtwinmarker #copic #copiccoloring #copicmarkers #pepercrafting #papercraft
