simon says stamp monday challenge: beautiful blooms

Happy Monday crafty friends and welcome to a brand new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge.  Thank you to all that played along with us last week in our Mixed Media Challenge and I we hope you will join us again this week too. This week our challenge is Beautiful Blooms...and I took out some of my favorite Tim Holtz stamps and created a fun background for my focal image. I used Flower Shop, Documented, Faded Type, Ornate Trims (to create a pattern on my purple panel) and Tiny Text. 

I started by inking a panel of Mixed Media Heavystock with Milled Lavender and Antique Linen Distress Inks and drying it with my Ranger Heat Tool. I added background stamping from the Flower Shop, Documented and Faded Type sets. I stamped the main flower from the Flower Shop set in Seedless Preserves Distress Oxide and then embossed it with Tattered Rose Distress Embossing Glaze. I added a sentiment from the Tiny Text stamp set. For the purple background, I stamped an image from Ornate Trims in a repeat pattern to create a lacy background. 

The lovely folks at Simon Says Stamp are generously giving away a $25 voucher to shop at the Simon Says Stamp Store!

This is stunning - such a peaceful feeling it conveys. I hadn't thought of using one color of Distress Oxide and using a different, but similar color, of Distress Embossing Glaze...will have to play around with that. You continue to inspire and love how your creations are so varied and wonderful.
