Simon Says - Not A Card

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 because

and the theme for this week is...

NOT A CARD

Spring is on the way, I'm thinking ahead to Easter and making a start on table decorations using Tim Holtz/Sizzix Vault Bunny + Chick Thinlits, Idea-ology Barrels and Tiny Eggs.

I fixed Tim Holtz/Sizzix Adhesive Sheets to scraps of Sizzix Surfacez Cardstock, Distress Watercolor card and Distress Black HeavyStock, die-cut the chicks using Tim Holtz/Sizzix Bunny + Chick Thinlits, shaded the edges with Wild Honey Distress Oxide ink using a Distress Tiny Blending Tool and assembled.

I gathered supplies from my stash - Large Wood Slices, Moss, Tim Holtz/Idea-ology Barrels and Tiny Eggs which I coloured by rolling around in my Speckled Egg Distress Paint covered fingers and once dry, splattered with Scorched Timber Distress Paint. 

I fixed 2 wood slices together to add height, attached the Idea-ology Barrel with my glue gun, filled the barrel with Moss, added the Tiny Eggs and began to place the chicks. I twisted the shredded paper left over from a pack of gift wrapping, fixed around the back and sides of the barrel with hot glue to create the effect of tufts of grass.

I fixed moss randomly around the base and sides of the wood slices.

I die-cut the daisies using Tim Holtz/Sizzix Vault Bunny + Chick Thinlits, fixed in place with Distress Collage Medium and added more Tiny Eggs.

One down, a few more to go.
