Beep! Beep!!!

It's ANYTHING GOES time on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog! The Design Team is playing with Penny Black products this week. I absolutely HAD to get this stamp when I saw it!!! After all, I DO drive one! *insert winky face here* You don't have to use Penny Black to play along, bug if you have some, we'd love to see what you do with them!





This is the Penny Black Miniful Hedgehog stamp. You guys. It's a Mini Cooper. And a hedgehog. And a couple of other cute animals, to boot. For REALS, it is fabulous. For reals, though. For reals. I used my Tombow markers and a waterbrush to watercolor the image. This was a new method for me, but it was a fun one to try and I like how bold the colors are! The Sun is from the Simon Says Stamp My Sunshine stamp set and the sentiment is borrowed from the MFT Tickled Pink stamp set. Don't be afraid to mix and match those stamp sets! Even if they are from different brands!



I added the 'chrome' with a silver pen and then used Glossy Accents to create a glass look over the windows once the watercolor had dried. Because this is all on watercolor paper, it stood up very well to all these treatments! Love that! You can find my complete supply list below.

Now it is YOUR turn! Create something fabulous (just make sure it is NEW, no backlinking is allowed), and link it up to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge blog for your chance to win a $50 Gift Voucher to the Simon Says Stamp Store! Yup! It's THAT easy! We can't WAIT to see you there!

This is My SECOND post for the day! Be sure to scroll down or click here to check out the fun new IN THE CARDS release from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps!

Happy Wednesday! It's time for a new Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge! This week our challenge is all about SPRING FLOWERS! Fortunately, Spring appears to be finally arriving here in the Boston area! YAY! We are looking at sunny and temps in the mid 60's (F) today, so that makes me happy! The design team is playing with some fun products from Penny Black this week! You don't have to use Penny Black goodies for the challenge, but we would love to see what you do with them if you have them!

Now, I have a confession to make...this card was so easy I sort of felt like I was cheating! HA! I pulled out some gorgeous Chickaniddy Crafts papers and a set of Penny Black stickers and it just came right together! So easy and so fun!



I heat embossed a super cute sentiment from the WPlus9 Quite Like You stamp set in white and then just added the stickers directly to the paper! I used my EK Success Powder tool to prep the patterned paper for embossing. That thing is AMAZING!!! I love how well it works! I love how they melt right into the paper so you can't see the edges at all.



Be sure to head on over to the Simon Says Stamp Challenge blog to check out what the rest of the team has created and to link up YOUR designs for a chance to win a $50 Gift Voucher to the Simon Says Stamp Store! Woot! Woot!

Have a Happy!
