Simon Says - Thinking Of You

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...

THINKING OF YOU

I was inspired by the recent Remembrance Day Parade at the Cenotaph in London to create a card to honour the heroism and sacrifice of all those who have gone to war, past and present, to defend our liberty. Let’s not forget those who never returned, those who suffered life changing injuries or those that are left with memories that severely impact their lives. 

I trimmed the striped paper from Tim Holtz/Idea-ology Correspondence Vault 25 8" x 8" paper to be slightly smaller than A2 and fixed to a white card blank. I trimmed the second paper to 4" x 5.1/4", inked the edges with Scorched Timber Distress Ink and a Tiny Blending Tool, spritzed with water to create the water droplet effect, distressed the edges and fixed in place with Distress Collage Medium.

I stamped the Big Ben and postmark images from Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous London Sights on to the card, inked with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink.

I die-cut the Tim Holtz/Sizzix Modern Floristry Thinlits from Distress Watercolor card coloured with Distress Oxide inks (linked below) and Distress Black Heavystock, curled with my fingers, assembled and fixed in place with Simon Says Stamp Thin Foam Squares to create dimension. I added Tim Holtz/Idea-ology Photobooth.

I added Gina K Gold Mini Pearl embellishments to each poppy.

To finish I added a Tim Holtz/Idea-ology Thoughts Label Sticker popped up on Simon Says Stamp Thin Foam Squares to add dimension.
