Simon Says Stamp Monthly Card Kit | August 2018

Hello Everyone!

I am here with the Simon Says Stamp August 2018 Card Kit!  I am absolutely in love with the images in this this kit!  ...and when you loose power in your house, the medium of choice becomes color pencils! YAY!

While I had a moment running around the house thinking how I was going to get everything done...  I got to play with my favorite medium! - now I have many, and I mean MANY pencil sets, from Crayola to Prismacolor and everything in between!

My first card shown was very much inspired by Yana Smakula...  Now I was not as ambitious as she with stamping the flower image twice, but when I saw her color this image, I new my sets had to be pulled out!  The above image was colored with my Marco Renoir Fine Art Set.  When I color my images the process is very similar to alcohol markers.  I start with my darkest and work my way to where I want my lightest to be.

My second card was very much clean and simple!  I just used a very pal soft sky colored ink and stamped my image and added a couple banners using the pattern paper from the kit!

For the final card I am showing today, I used the background stamp with a pale ink to just add texture...  I cut my panel using my Penny Black Antique Frame dies for an uneven edge and placed a piece of the pattern paper behind to add a pop of color!  For this image I pulled out my Lyra Rembrant Polycolor pencils.  Added a double bow from the twine included in the kit.
