Wednesday Simon Says Stamp Challenge

The Wednesday Challenge at Simon Says Stamp this week was Emboss It. I love embossing when I am doing water colouring as it helps to keep everything in the lines!! I used the Avery Elle Floral Bouquet stamp and die set for this card with gold embossing powder.


Monday Simon Says Stamp challenge

I was able to get some cards done this weekend which means I was able to get to a couple challenges. The Monday challenge at Simon Says Stamp was Touchy Feely. I was able to use the June card kit from Simon Says Stamp for this challenge. This card has some sequins, enamel dots and some Nuvo Crystal drops so has lots of texture.
