Simon Says - It's A Wrap

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...

IT'S A WRAP

I created a card inspired by the song lyric "brown paper packages tied up with string" using Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Forest Floor 2 and Santa Visit stamp sets, Forest Floor 2 co-ordinating dies, Lawn Fawn White Twine and postage stamps from Tim Holtz/Idea-ology Postmarked Sticker Book.

I trimmed Distress Kraft HeavyStock to 4" x 5.1/4", stamped the holly image from Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Forest Floor 2, inked with Versamark ink on to the panel, sprinkled with Simon Says White Detail embossing powder and heat set. I stamped the calendar image from Santa Visit, inked with Lumberjack Plaid Distress Oxide ink and heat embossed with Simon Says Clear embossing powder.

I inked around the edges with Scorched Timber Distress Ink using a tiny blending tool.

I wound Lawn Fawn White Hemp Twine around the panel and added a double bow.

I dipped Peeled Paint and Candied Apple Distress Watercolor Pencils into a jar of water, used to colour the holly image from Forest Floor 2 and stamped on to Distress Watercolor card.

I dried the image and re-stamped using Scorched Timber Distress Ink to re-define the detail.

I die-cut using the co-ordinating Forest Floor 2 dies from Simon Says Stamp and fixed to the panel with 3D foam squares to create dimension. I added the stamps from Tim Holtz/Idea-ology Postmarked Sticker Book.

I added 3D foam tape behind the panel, matted on to Simon Says Schoolhouse Red cardstock. trimmed 1/8" larger and fixed to an A2 white card blank.
