Simon Says Stitch It!

The background is sponged with distress inks. The colours are inspired by the current Blush Pink trend among home interior decor and the Pantone 2018 colour of the year Ultra Violet. The distress inks I have used to sponge and blend on the backgrounds are Victorian Velvet, Seedless Preserve, Wilted Violet, Blueprint Sketch and Chipped Sapphire. I absolutely love these colours. So pretty. Not a big fan of violets and purples but together with the blush pink they look gorgeous.

For texture, I spattered clean water and dabbed off the excess.Then I added some white spatter using Copic Opaque white. I embossed the Wonky Stitched Rectangle die and die cut the Snow Drift Breeze die. I saved the tiny snowflakes die cuts.  I also die cut the Snow Drift Breeze die using silver cardstock and saved all the tiny snow flakes die cuts. Using the same silver cardstock, I die cut some larger snow flakes using Simon’s Big Bliss die.

I adhered the sponged panel on a white card base, inlaid the sliver snowflakes dies and adhered the larger sliver snow flakes as well as the sponged negative snow flakes as shown. I also embellished the card using Moonshine Confetti sequins from Simon which I topped it off with Nuvo White Blizzard crystal drops. The sentiment is from Simon’s Give Thanks stamp set. I stamped the banner using Simon’s Deep Purple dye ink and sentiment using Versafine Onyx Black ink.
