I've really had a good time playing with the SSS DT! Thank you very much for such a wonderful opportunity! I hope to play with y'all again!
It's Wednesday...and that means...
This week's theme is
"ANYTHING GOES"
featuring products by Art Impressions
I, personally, love Art Impressions stamps. Their "Golden Oldies" and "Girlfriends" lines are HILARIOUS. They also have some seriously artistic stamps too!
As always, enter the challenge for your chance to win a
You can't beat that with a stick!!
I actually did 2 projects as my "Simon Says Swan Song".
Yeah, 2!!! (One is really a "thank you" to SSS for having me).
My first project is a CAS card (well, for me it is). I don't usually do CAS (clean and simple). So, it was a challenge...believe it or not.
It's pretty straight-forward...stamped image, colored with Prismacolor pencils, Copic-dotted background, stamped foreground, bow, sentiment and 9 sequins. You can't tell, but their bathing suits and hats are coated in Glossy Accents to give it that embossed effect. Ok, so maybe it wasn't so CAS.
My final card is also a CASish card.
This card is my little way of saying "THANK YOU" to Heidi, Lols, and all the lovely and talented ladies on the SSS design teams.
It's a "Dutch Door" style card...where the card front is actually only half a card front. I just made up the name of the card style. It sounds good though.

Here is the outside
and, the fence "Dutch door" swings open to reveal the inside
I used one of Art Impressions super-ingenious "Front 'n' Backs" stamp sets--Becky. For those of you not familiar with the "Front 'n' Backs" and "Spinners" stamps, they're 2-piece sets of stamps designed to have their images glued back to back...to produce a perfectly matched 2-sided image. I colored her with my Prismacolor pencils.
I created the fence using the same stamp I used on the other card...I just cut apart the image and rearranged it a bit to look like a fence. Although the wood stamp I used is not a SSS stamp, they do carry one that is virtually identical...like REALLY REALLY CLOSE (Wood Plank stamp by My Favorite Things). It's so close to the stamp I used, you probably wouldn't have known if I had said that this wood stamp was that wood stamp (did that make sense???) I really love this card. It's just too stinkin' cute!
