Shabby Chic is the challenge this week on Simon Says stamps Challenge, now I'm sure this is a posh name for Distressing. So out come the Tim Holtz distressing tool and used it on the Daisy Bucket paper, not sure if I was too rough but it torn the paper, I was hyperventilating at this point as I tried to tell myself it would enhance my shabby chic!
The cool dude is from Whiff of Joy which I think is available at Simon Says Stamps. Not sure about the gap between the sentiment and the age button but being a chaps card doesn't give you many options for embellishments.
Do fancy being on Design Team well Simon Says Stamps are looking for two, check out this post.
Oh and don't forget you could win a fab Simon Says Stamps voucher for entering this weeks challenge.
Just as life was returning to normal what happens it SNOWS, sitting here writing this post I'm listening to the local radio to find out whether DD is going to attempt going to work but seeing as cars are being abandoned on the road she goes on I guess she won't be going. Hubby just didn't bother with the car just put on his wellies and walked.
Wow, this card is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThe blue with black and white, it's very sensationnal.
