I'm entering this card to the 70th SSS flickr challenge :)

I used "postage stamp edge frame" die , "best mom ever" stamps set, and "mixed sunshine" sequins from Simon Says Stamp.

If you have a moment at this busy time of year to sit with a cuppa then today I have a video using white gouache mixed with traditional watercolours to paint over a coloured background to create a look inspired by wonderful Rifle Paper Co patterns 🌸

I want to take this moment to wish you a wonderful end to 2018 whether you celebrate the Holidays or not I want to thank you for your time, support and encouragement. I know this time of year can be hard for many, I for sure miss loved ones and do not cope that well with the stress that trying to be on top of everything often brings on. The stamp set I used on this card is from SimonSaysStamp.com and is called Moments Of Grace. I think we should all give ourselves a few moments of grace and accept that done is better than perfect ❤️❤️❤️

I was dying to use the Rainboots die from the Simon Says Stamp April Card Kit and delved in as soon as the kit arrived for a little watercolouring.

A card for Simon Says Stamp Flickr Challenge 2, Tic Tac Toe.

I used the far right row of leaves, embossing and glitter.

I used SSS Thanks Die and three dies from the Frames Die Set and the thanks die cut is glittered.

The leaves are from Hero Arts Scattering Leaves stamp set.

The Simon Says Stamp Cheer and Joy release is now live! I made this card using the Candy Cane background stamp. I embossed the stamp in red on red cardstock and then colored portions of the candy canes with a white Polychromos color pencil. Adding this to the SSS flickr challenge and the SSS Wednesday challenge.

Got the SSS December card kit and made Christmas cards for my great niece and great nephew. This one is for my great niece Kaia. I used the Action Wobbles that came in the kit so the center gnome (Kaia) moves. The other two gnomes are her mom and dad! Adding this to the SSS flickr challenge, as well as the SSS Wednesday challenge.

Simon Says Stamp Carol Singers stamp set, Lots of Snowflakes stamp set

Wow!! I'm still in love with everything about the February card kit. I love this paper!! I love this heart die, I love the Be My Valentine... For this one I used Simon Says Stamp die called Surely Stitched Heart, the top I love You paper is from the SSS February Card Kit as is the hearts confetti, bottom paper I can't remember, I had it in my scrap bin... And the Be My Valentine die is from Penny Black called Valentine. This card is for the SSS Flickr Challenge.

New baby card for my friends (I'm way late, he was born in September 😬). The critters are from @simonsaysstamp, the plaid paper from @lawnfawn, and I made up the sentiment from @heroarts Brushstroke Alphabet (such a useful stamp set). I'm entering this card in SSS Flickr and Wednesday challenges.

Stamped random hearts with distress inks, then sprayed with water. Love the effect! Tons of Hearts and Thanks Scallop Border die from Simon.Says.Stamp

Here's a card for SSS Flickr Challenge 197 www.flickr.com/groups/simonsaysstamp/discuss/721577219162... I used daubers to ink through SSS Bouquet of Roses stencil with SSS Apricot & Mint Green and VersaMagic Pink Grapefruit & Aquatic Splash. The I spread glitter gel over the stencil, removed it & let it dry. The sentiment from an old TPC Studio set was stamped in Versafine Clair Morning Mist a couple times & I used a gray scrap for the mat. The white dots are Pico Embellisher.

Finished card size is 3 1/4 x 6 1/4. The sparkle is really pretty in person.

The stencil I used for this card creates a lovely crisp background. However, I'm all for the watery, more distressed, abstract look, so I took to this background with all the splatter until the edges were lost and the sweet flowers became mere hints of their former selves 😃

OK, so confession time, how much patterned paper do you have?! I try and keep my stash manageable, but I do have more than I realistically have room for, so today's project is a paper stash buster using the fabulous Simon Says Stamp gnome 😃
