SIMON SAYS STAMP MONDAY CHALLENGE GUEST DESIGNER - TREATS








I'm delighted to be Guest Designer again this week for Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge.  The challenge this week is treats.  I just adore Anita Jeram - my kids read her books when they were young and I now read them to my grandkids.  I even have a mug with some characters on.  So when I saw this set over at Simon Says Stamp and the little treat jar it was a must have! It's called Treat Yourself. 






I wanted to keep the colours fairly close to Anita's own style of soft colours.  I stamped the dogs first on some water colour paper in Versafine Clair Nocturne.  I stamped the treat jar and then restamped it and fussy cut it to add a bit more interest.  I carefully added some clean water around the dogs then used Tim Holtz Distress Oxide in Salty Ocean and Peeled Paint for the background.

For colouring the dogs I used the following Distress Oxides with a very small paint brush -  Black Soot, Brushed Corduroy, Pumice Stone, Walnut Stain, Saltwater Taffy

The little treat jar was coloured in Salty Ocean, Saltwater Taffy and Rusty Hinge. 

I used Versafine  Clair Morning Mist stamped off for the Yummy sentiment and Pinecone for the main sentiment. 

Supplies used:


Inks     

           Versafine Clair -  Nocturne
            Versafine Clair   Pinecone 
            Versafine Clair   Morning Mist

Can't help but smile at these cute dogs Fiona! A beautifully designed card, and yes the style and the soft colours do remind me of Anita Jeram's storybooks.
