Distress Ink Watercolour Hello


This is one of favourite all time dies from Simon Says Stamp.  I used embossing paste to create a textured background and cut the die out from several layers of card to create a raised die cut.  I used my palate knife to give the embossing paste a textured look rather than a smooth one to add a bit of interest. 

To create the water colour look, I added distress ink to a wet piece of water colour paper.  Once it was dry, I ran it through my Cuttlebug and stuck the die cut onto three other pieces of white card stock.

I have already given this card to a friend, but if I was to make it again, I think I would die cut some small hearts from the same water colour paper and add them as embellishments with the pearls.

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Get in Shape

This is my entry for the SSS Wednesday Challenge Blog.  This week the challenge is "Get in Shape" (showcasing Lawn Fawn products) - meaning no square or rectangular cards allowed!

This card is a first for me for three reasons:

a) I always make square or rectangular cards, so a shaped card is a real novelty
b) I have never entered a challenge blog, so I really enjoyed stretching my creative muscles
c) I haven't used this particular stamp set before despite having it in my stash for ages!

Anyway, this is what I came up with:


What do you think?  I think this would also look quite pretty in pastel colours too.

Love Hannah x

Ps. Thought I'd share this picture of Henry "helping" me stick on my embellishments with Glossy Accents - luckily the lid was still on!
