Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge : Bling It On

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

This week the challenge is to add some bling ie, glitter, gems etc to your creations!

Bling It On

We are showcasing Studio Katia Products this week. You don’t have to use them to join in but if you have some we would love to see them used

The lovely folks over at Simon Says Stamp are generously giving away a FABULOUS $50 voucher to shop at the  Simon Says Stamp Store to a lucky winner. 

Here are my cards for the challenge inspiration :). I used Darling Ribbon and Dotted Frames Dies from Studio Katia. 

To bein the first card, I cut a piece of Bristol Paper with 4.25×5.5inch, ink blended it with Distress Oxide Inks : Abandoned Coral, Worn Lipstick, Squeezed Lemonade, Fossilized Amber and Ripe Persimmon. Next I diecut the panel with Dotted Frames Dies .

I pulled out a piece of A2 size white cardstock, and placed previous diecut frames on it to make sure that they are in right position, then I adhered the center panel as it is.

In turn, I stamped a sentiment from Birthday Borders using Versafine Onyx Black Ink, then I placed sequins, jewels and Seed beads on the center panel. To assemble a shaker, I adhered an acetate film on the back of outer frame, then I foam mounted it over the center panel carefully.

Shaker elements I used are Sparkling Clear Sequins Mix, Ballerina Pink, Strawberry Burst, Raspberry, Marigold, Ivory Jewel, and Seed Beads (Sparkling Clear, Gold Shimmer, Blush, Cotton Candy, Rose Pink) .

I stamped a bundle of candles from Birthday Borders on 80lb Neenah White, colored it using copic markers and cut it using Birthday Borders Dies.

Finally, I foam mounted candles diecut onto the shaker window and adhered a silver ribbon diecut made of Simon Silver Glitter Card Stock.

My second card was made in Clean and Simple design. I cut Neenah Texture White paper using the same Darling Ribbon and Dotted Frames Dies, then I adhered the two diecuts with dimension. I love the elegant  texture surface of Neenah Texture paper set, which I can't capture 100% on my photo.

I added the same image and sentiment from Birthday Borders set, and the ribbon diecut was made of Simon Gold Glitter Card Stock. To keep our challenge theme Bling It On, I added some Metallic Gold Jewels here and there.

Which one is your favorite? :)
