Before we get started I wanted to remind you to check out my CanvasPop Review, Discount, and GIVEAWAY! You don't want to miss this one! AWESOME product!
This week, for the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge we have a fun one for you! We are PLAYING FAVORITES! Showcase YOUR favorite product and/or your favorite technique on your project! The design team is using Ranger products this week, which, obviously, we LOVE! Because they are AWESOME. For reals, though. You don't have to use Ranger products to play along, but if you have some we love seeing what you do with them!
When considering my favorite technique, the obvious came to mind first - CAS design. I like to keep it clean and simple. I, naturally, decided to use that, but I also pulled in another favorite technique that I don't use all that often - ink blending! As I worked on this card, I was reminded why I don't use it that often - I kind of suck at it. HA! I actually love how this turned out in the end, but I have to be honest... LAYERS! There are LOTS of layers of distress ink on that background. I had to work it and work it and then work it some more to get the blend correct. Worth it? Totally. A fun crafting time? For reals, you guys!
That awesome die? Yup, that's totally from the new Simon Says Stamp The Color of Fun release. And I love it. With all my heart.
Supplies:
Stamps: Simon Says Stamp Cone Building Clear Stamp Set
Die: Simon Says Stamp Rockin' Roller Coaster Die
Ink: Ranger Distress Inks
Embossing Powder: Stampendous
Heat Gun: Milwaukee Hero Arts Heat Gun (It really is the best ever.)
