Simon Says - Thanks/Thanksgiving

 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...

THANKS/THANKSGIVING

I've been making Thank You cards with a Christmas/Winter colour palette with Cosmos Duo and Fancy Thank You, two of my favourite Simon Says Stamp Wafer Dies, Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Pinwheel Mini Layering Stencil from Set 63 and added a touch of magic winter sparkle using Tim Holtz Picket Fence Distress Spritz, Special Edition Distress Mica Flakes and Distress Collage Glue.

I die-cut Simon Says Stamp Fancy Thank You from masking paper and fixed to an A2 panel of Distress Watercolor card. I smooshed Tumbled Glass and Evergreen Bough Distress Oxide ink pads on to my craft media mat, spritzed with water, dragged the panel through the ink, dried and tapped back in until I was happy with the background. I applied Candied Apple Distress Oxide ink through the Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Pinwheel Mini Layering Stencil from Set 63. I die-cut Fancy Thank You shadow and words 3 times from Distress Watercolor card, coloured one of the word die-cuts with Evergreen Bough Distress Oxide and layered to create dimension.

I die-cut Simon Says Stamp Cosmo Duo flowers from Distress Watercolor card and the stem from Simon Says Stamp Sage cardstock, placed on my Black Stamp and Stencil Mat and added shading with Candied Apple and Pine Needles Distress Oxide inks using Detail Round Blending Brushes

I fixed the flowers and sentiment in place popped up on Simon Says Stamp Thin 3D Foam Squares and added splatters of Picket Fence Distress Spritz.

To finish I matted the panel on to an A2 white card blank, scribbled Distress Collage Glue randomly on the background and sprinkled with Distress Mica Flakes.
