Simon Says Stamp And Show - Distressed/Sanded

Morning ! And HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my little brother Kern!
This is the card I am entering for SSSS challenge and it has more distress than you will know, mainly because I snipped my finger with my micro serated scissors instead of the ribbon... OUCH! That really hurts! (notice how I didn't go back to even the ribbon up).
My image is another homemade stamp using my stampmaker and another copyright free image. I used lots of distress inks to grubby up around the edges as well as THOSE scissors to roughen the edges too. I used K&Co brads cut in half for the corners of the topper and inked around the card with chalk ink.
Lol, I forgot to mention the distressed balloon, made in error, peel off balloon outline stuck to glitter vinyl and heat gunned.

Well that's it! Thanks for looking.

Take care

'Stamp' tember blog hop

What a great challenge this is... Simon Says stamp and Show have teamed up with Simon Says Stamp Challenge blog for a blog hop. The theme is holiday fun, you choose which holiday.
Mine is halloween i loved making this card, because the stamp i made myself with Teresa Collins stampmaker and a copyright free image. Cobwebs, I haven't drawn them since i was at high school. Also it involved slooshing lots of paint, ink and perfect pearls.
I'm off to blog hop now...

Thanks for looking

Simon Says Stamp and Show - Use Your layers Challenge

What a rush! My entry for the above challenge is not what I intended at all! BUT I didn't want to miss the challege altogether so here it is... Sadly the only layers I could manage were the butterflies and the flower. Can you see them? I hope so. Monochrome probably wasn't the best way to go with this.

Apologies to the terrific design team, your pieces were all fantastic.

Thanks for looking
