Simon Says - 4 Legged Friends

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...

4 LEGGED FRIENDS

I fell down the cute rabbit hole and made a birthday card using the adorable Tim Holtz/Sizzix Oliver Colorize Thinlits, Simon Says Mosaic Petals Layering Stencils and Ear-resisitibly Cute stamp set and co-ordinating dies.

I die-cut the Tim Holtz/Sizzix Oliver Colorize Thinlits from Sizzix Dark Grey, Pink and Black Cardstock and  Distress Watercolor card which I had backed with Sizzix Adhesive Sheets. I coloured some of the sections with Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide ink, inked all the edges with Scorched Timber Distress Ink using a Tiny Blending Tool and assembled.

I used all 5 stencils from Simon Says Mosaic Petals Layering Stencil Set with Kitsch Flamingo, Dusty Concord, Fossilized Amber, Broken China and Abandoned Coral Distress Oxide inks, applied with Distress Tiny Blending Brushes to create the background.

I trimmed the panel to 4" x 5.1/4" and lightly inked the edges with Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide ink using a Tiny Blending Tool. I coloured a scrap of Distress Watercolor card with Broken China and Peeled Paint Distress Oxide inks, die-cut the grass from the Oliver Colorize Thinlits and fixed in place with Distress Collage Medium.

I fixed Oliver in place popped up on Simon Says Thin Foam Squares. I stamped the sentiment and tiny flowers from Simon Says Ear-Resistibly Cute stamp set, inked with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink, on to scraps of Distress Watercolor card, coloured lightly with Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide ink, die-cut using the Ear-resistibly Cute co-ordinating dies and fixed to the panel with Thin Foam Squares.

To finish I used a Sakura Black Glaze Pen to colour the flower centres and matted the panel on to an A2 white card blank.
