Simon Says.........Aything Goes with the AnniversaryBlog Hop





Welcome to the Simon Says Stamp Challenge 2nd Anniversary Celebrations.. If you have just arrived here by chance and would like to join in the hop you will need to start at the begining on the challenge blog.
If you have arrived here from JANE'S you are going in the right direction :-)




This week we have an ANYTHING GOES theme and a BLOG HOP :-)


There are 3 fabulous prizes from our lovely Heidi at Simon Says Stamp that 3 lucky entrants, drawn at random, will win !! You can see the piccy's of whats on offer on the Simon Says Stamp Challengeblog.


ALSO we have a $10 Voucher to spend in the Simon Says Stamp Store to give away at every blog along the way !!


To be in with a chance of any of the prizes you MUST join in the challenge and complete the hop, leaving a comment on EVERY blog along the way.


********************************************************




As it is anything goes this week I decided I would make one of the tea-light holder cards from the fantastic tutorial on the Stamparctic blog but adapt it to hold some small toiletries  as I wanted a small birthday gift for a friend.  I got two small bottles of Dior bath and body lotions knowing they were the right length and width (head to toe) - but guess what - they are too fat so that is one I'm going to have to re-think!!! 





I used the lovely Tilda with many Hearts and coloured her with the usual Copics then cut her out using the Nestabilities Labels 4.  I used the Tim Holtz  Vintage Shabby papers, the flowers are Prima Athena flowers which I coloured with Copics and the swirls and leaves cut with the Magnolia Doohickey Die. The butterfly is cut with at Martha Stewart Butterfly punch
 The pearls I used are Hero Arts. I inked all my edges with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink and also died the voile ribbon with this. I have miles of this (well slight exaggeration!!) and    the Tim Holtz range of inks colour it beautifully!





*****************************************************


From here you need to hop along to CHRISTINE'S blog


Thanks for joining us for our very special celebrations and don't forget to add your name to the linky if you're taking part in the hop and leave me a comment before you hop along.

  3. Oh this is a perfect gift. When you said it was too fat i thought perhaps some flat sampler type ones may be better......but you showed the inside and it looks great. I love the blues and the tag on the inside is WonderBAR! TFS.
