Simon Says - Stamp It

 Hi Everyone...welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog. Thank you for joining us for last week's challenge and we hope you can join us this week too.

As you know STAMPtember® is a very special month in the Simon Says Stamp calendar. This week the Design Team are all using some fabulous products from the latest Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember® Release. You don’t have to use them to join in with the challenge but if you have them we would love to see them used. 

This week we are welcoming the lovely and very talented Anita Rao aka Beads, Charms and Wire into the Designer Spotlight. If you haven't visited her blog before, pop over and say hello and you wil be in for a real treat!

and the theme for this week is...

STAMP IT

I used a kissing technique with Simon Says Ying Yang Cling Stamp from the STAMPtember release and Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Dots Background stamp to create the background on my card, Distress Grit Paste and Distress Embossing Glazes with Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Roses and Mini Valentine Layering Stencils, Idea-ology Photobooth and Sentiments Label Stickers.

I positioned the Ying Yang Cling Stamps on the door of my Stamp Platform and inked generously with Versafine Onyhx Black ink. I laid the dots background stamp from Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Dots and Circles on to the stamps, removed and cleaned. I repeated the process on the bottom half of the stamps and stamped the Ying Yang stamps on to a 4" x 5.1/4" panel of Distress Watercolor card. I applied Distress Grit Paste through the Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Roses and Mini Valentine Layering Stencils, sprinkled with Distress Embossing glazes and heat set once the paste had dried.

I added Idea-ology Photobooth matted on to Alcohol Ink Black Cardstock and Sentiment Label Stickers popped up on Simon Says Foam Squares.

To finish I matted the panel on to Alcohol Ink Black cardstock trimmed to 1/8" larger and fixed to an A2 white card blank.
