Simon Says ' A Trio of Something'













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

This week we are challenging you to think in threes.

A Trio Of Something 

As this is the first challenge of the month we are showcasing a particular brand/designer. this week we have all used something designed by the lovely Dyan Reaveley. You don't have to use her products to join in, but if you have something then we would love to see them used

As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away a $50 gift voucher to one randomly selected winner to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store

We are welcoming the lovely and super talented Paula Roomer aka PaNaRoo into the Designer Spotlight. Paula is very new to blogging and I am sure she would love to see some people pop by her blog to leave some love and to become a follower too. Lets all give this talented designer a real big Simon boost!

I made a trio of cards using a trio of birds from a Dyan Reaveley Cat Among The Pigeons Stamp Set


It is ages since I had a play with my Gelli Plate so I thought I would dig it out and used Dylusions Acrylic Paints and a Holes Stencil to create a really funky background. 


I used a Gel Press 4" Brayer so smooth out the paint, then layer the stencil over the top and then a piece of watercolour paper and this was the effect, lovely isn't it! :-)


I inked up a Simon's Good Reading Background Stamp with Smoke Ink to add more interest 


I used a Tim Holtz Dot Fade Stencil and sprinkled with Prisma Glitter. I then added a branch from a Tim Holtz Small Tattered Florals Die Set


I coloured the birds using Dyan Reavely Paints (LOVE THESE)  and popped the wings up using 3D foam adhesive. 


and finished with a handwritten sentiment in a 'Dyan' boxed in style.



Thanks for looking! 

So now it's YOUR turn to get creating!
