We all know and love Simon Says....their Shop, YouTube Channel, Blogs etc.
They carry so many Brands that we all use on a daily base, seems like it would be an awesome Company to 'work for' too!

Papertrey Ink Summer Challenge

 Good Morning! 

Papertrey Ink is having a magnificent Summer Challenge!  

You must incorporate these 3 techniques into your creation:

Ink Blending.
Die Cut Layering.
Stenciling.



Here is what I created:


I used the Papertrey Ink Products;
Day Dreamer stamp and dies.
Ruby Reprise stamp set, sentiment.
Mix and Mat Flourish dies.
Fun Frames dies.
Make It Market Garden Gate Kit, stencil.
Green Tea Leaves Designer Paper.

Stenciled ink blending with Cracked Pistachio and Peeled Paint inks.
Die cut layering with the Mix and Mat Flourish and Fun Frames dies.
Stenciling from one of the stencils included in the Garden Gate Kit.



I love that slotted rectangle die cut from the Mix and Mat Flourish set.
After die cutting I added thin foam strips to the back of the slots that were die cut.
They all are all popped up and add some great interest and texture,
an eclipse technique if you will.




Inside.





A FUN card to create!  

Other supplies:  
Wisteria Wonder and Wild Wasabi inks.
Gold Foil Paper.




Thanks for popping in!
