Barb and Nancy, two wonderful ladies in the blogging community, teamed up to present a Flickr Challenge that combines both Simon Says Stamp products, and Lawn Fawn products. The challenge is called: Get Crafty with Kraft:
I used SSS Sending Happy Thoughts stamp set to create a pile of envelopes, masking as I went along. I gave them a bit of shadow using a Copic C1 marker. I used Lawn Fawn's Cole's ABCs to spell out the word, "hello" by die cutting it out of the pile of envelopes. I know I saw a video of someone else masking and piling these envelopes, but for the life of me, I can't find that video in order to give her credit. If you know the video I'm talking about, please let me know and I will edit this post. The ribbon is left over from a Lindt chocolate reindeer from Christmas. The kraft cardstock is from a Recollections card base, and the black note card is PTI True Black cardstock. The little red heart, also from Sending Happy Thoughts, was stamped with Festive Berries DI.
Edited to add: Yes, Jenny, that's it! It was Sandy Allnock's "Bruce is Back" video from 1/14/15.
Here are the details about this fantastic challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Flickr Group and at the Lawn Fawn Flickr Group.
Thanks for coming over to visit, I hope you are having a wonderful day!
