Spring Trees

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

Thank you for joining us last week and we hope you will all join us again this week too.

This week the challenge is Spring Mood Board

 

We are showcasing Hello Bluebird this week, which just so happens to be Simon says Stamp Brand of the Month. You don’t have to use them to join in but if you have some we would love to see them used.

As you may know, the  Simon Says Stamp Store is accepting new orders, but have longer shipping times for the moment due to the coronavirus. With this in mind we have made the difficult decision to suspend the $50 voucher for this challenge.

We know that many people are staying safe at home and we would love it if you would continue to enter the challenges and have fun! We are all in this together! 

I had fun making this card, first off I made the cloud background using a bit of acetate that I had drawn round some cloud diecuts trust me its a lot easier if you have a cloud stencil which to my horror I don't have!

My trees are Hello Bluebird Birch Trees which the tiny leaves came with it. The flowers are Simon says Stamp Mini Flowers and Leaves dies, so I made the trees look like the blossom on our trees her in the UK.

To finish I used the Simon says Stamp Grassy Edges die and their Bold Thanks die which I cut twice to help it stand out a bit better from the trees.

I decided to use the Hello Bluebird Otter Friends because I didn't have any otter stamps and it reminded me of the film Ring of Bright Water.

First I made my watery background with oxides and remembered I have some seaweed stalk dies from Memory Box that I coloured again with oxides. Along with the stamped bulrushes from the stamp set background done.

It was  just places the otters, two of them look like they were applauding so I stamped a birthday sentiment from Simon says Stamp It's no Secret.

At this point I noticed I had left a sort of white and blue border at the top so I added some Memory Box Puffy Clouds.

One of things I discovered was my Birch Trees dies have all retired and since this is my DT card for Simon says Stamp I couldn't use them. I decided I would buy the Hello Blue Bird Birch Trees dies and blow me you've all brought them at the moment out of stock, if you want them I would definitely do the notify me when back in stock, this allows Simon to know how many are interested as well as letting you know.

For some reason I decided to make a circle sky and using the Simon says Stamp Falling Snow Stencil and using a white uni-ball pen I used the stencil for my snow dots. Why I've never done this before because it was soooooo easy.

I used the Simon says Stamp Wonky Rectangles mainly because it gives a finished look and for my little critter I used their Retro Deer. Coloured his antlers with a brown pen and Nuvo Drops Autumn Red for is nose.

Not sure what I was thinking but I cut the top of the Birch trees with Simon says Stamp Stitched Circles which gave me the curved space at the top for my sentiment.

Now to work out the sentiment, from our Family part is from Simon says Stamp Ornate Ornaments. Oops can't seem to work it out and I've tidy my craft room since making the card, seriously need to get my act together and write things on a post it note. I've sneaky feeling that 3 stamp sets were involved and the wishing one could be from a birthday set rather than Christmas and found loads of Merry Christmas I could've used, the only thing I can guarantee that they were definitely were Simon Says Stamp. Will have to work it out cos I reckon I may need it again.
