Simon Says........ a BIT o' GREEN !!!!

The Simon Says Stamp challenge this week are celebrating  in honour of St. Patrick's Day on Saturday!!!

The Design Team are showcasing Hero Arts products this week, and when you see the DT creations, you will see the HUGE variety of products that Hero Arts has!

I use the Hero Arts Scroll Tree, stamped the twice and  added them a mixture of  Hero Arts  Pearls and Gems .  I mused Hero Arts  Kraft stack and Basic Grey - the sentiment is one of the many wonderful Hero Arts.   Spellbinders   Nestabilities Label 4 and  Labels 11 are both used withthis card and finished of with some ribbon from my stock.

This is one of my very old wooden Butterfly - I can't even read the label on the stamp but what I  found this one from Hero Arts - it is the same butterfly  but with extra - I think that may have to fall into my basket.
I used  Copics with the butterfly and the Basic Grey Out of Print and a button fished with Hemp twine

                 

               

As usual Heidi will be giving one lucky entrant a $50 voucher to her FANTASTIC Simon Says Stamp Superstore !! For fabulous tutorials, inspiration and candy you should keep an eye on the Simon Says Stamp Blog too

I told you - what a mess!!!

! told you!!!

Being being a shambles - I sat  -  colouring away like a pig in muck,  plenty  of images all done but none one card finish!!!!

In anyone can cure me of doing this I would be very grateful.

I am now drying and finish some card. On this batch before I have now got papers chosen - an odd card actually  finish - hearly!!!

Her the next batch I am just starting to think about papers.

The next batch I didn't even have the courage to even show you, they are j usual in a  half done state

Perhaps I needed an electric shock every time I need to start again.

Please all bully me to keep going and finished me thinks I've started.

Not amputated the Saturated Canary this time ????

This would have been for an Everybony Art Challenge which asked for week is monochrome  - well this was not meant to be!!!!  Before I finished and posted this card I was asked if I would be a DT for EAC.

I cannot tell you now excited and honored  to be joining this amusingly tallented  girls!!!!

Now I decided to post this card and shall now bot hunting to find someone to suit it!!

My image is, of course, the extremely talented Krista of the Saturated  Canary. 

I have used Colic colours in all shakes I have available.. from C00 to C09 and with some flesh and eyes to add some relief.  

The paper is Pink Petticoat, Embossed by Cuttlebug D'vine Swirl  and Wild Orchid Crafts lace.

I am going away in a  couple of weeks and need some decoration done  so I am trying to have my self organised - HAAAA !!!

You wouldn't see the number of images just coloured and sat waiting for treatment - I will photograph and shoe them yesterday.  I really need to sort myself  and stop doing this - I have promised myself some more storage but only if I sort out my current mess.

I have managed to fin a couple of challenges but will search for a few more.

It's time for our new challenge here on Basic Grey Challenge   and this week we have some Spring Photo Inspiration for you. Design a project using the Spring theme, or simply use the colour inspiration

Just look at this!!! I haven't done this for my card (or back to front) for ages. Of course it would because I'm really stock for time and had to but it back together.  I  rectify it by the quickest  possibly by to easel

.

The Basic Grey  is used one of my old time favourite is Lilykate and used Lili Of  the Valley beautiful image  Summer Garden Angel.

I have how converted it into easel card - my little angel is colour with Copics and used inked the porders with tumbled distress glass. t The flowers are Crealies and the fence, butterfly and leaves are all Magnolia.

The photographed is some what rushed and could have been better.
