Monday has a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge in store, one without rules! It's anything goes this week!
One of my colleague has had a serious operation and I made a card for him to wish him a speedy recovery. I like to make a masculine card but with a few feminine touches. The background I made with the Simon Says Stamp Bubbles Stencil and Peacock Feathers Distress Ink. The stencil I used as a stamp. I used the stencil as a masks to make the background slightly darker.
The number stamp from Kaisercraft I stamped with Archival Jet Black Ink and realized I wanted to have it stand out more and have therefore used Clear Embossing Powder on top of it. As the ink was drying it didn't stick everywhere. That gives it a more textured effect. Love that!
As usual I needed some washi tape! And this time I remembered to use my Zigzag Punch with in this case Vellum! I love this punch, and I need to remind myself to use it more often. And the jute bow was essential too. I glued it with a tiny drop of Tacky Glue. This ensures that it remains in place.
The letters are from Cork Adhesive and colored the edges with Black Soot Distress Marker. Then I also have this them a glitter coat with the Wink of Stella Glitter Brush. You don't see it very well in the picture.
Since I have a lot of colleagues (over 30) and everyone also wanted to wish him a speedy recovery, I've made sheets out of kraft wrapping paper. A simple solution and also very convenient. If I had to make more sheets that wouldn't been a problem. But 8 sheets were sufficient in this case.
To join in all you need to do is make a project that fits this weeks challenge and you can be the winner of the $50 gift voucher that our amazing sponsor Simon Says Stamp offers. This prize will go to a random entry. So go over to the Stamp and Show Monday Challenge blog, let the DT members inspire you and join in the fun!
