Day12. Blog Hop & Giveaway

coloring-challenge-e1467756060209

Hello Friends! I’m back today with a project created using a few stamp sets included in the new Masterpiece Box from Simon Says Stamp so welcome to the Masterpiece Box blog hop! It’s certainly something to be excited about and I feel blessed to be able to share with you today. (If you are new to The 30 Day Coloring Challenge or want to know more about it click here…you can join at any time)

Masterpieces_927_gallery

To start at the beginning of the hop or if you encounter a broken link go to the Simon Says Stamp blog here.

This box … The Materpieces Box … is full of amazing new product from many different companies. You can receive these products before the brand’s release!! Woo Hoo!! You will find lots of more info on the Simon Blog. I love how so many different companies came together with Simon to curate this box of beautiful goodies but, a little more on that below in my post.

I used a stamp set from Simon Says Stamp (see it in the photo next to the yellow ink) and Tim Holtz/Stamper’s Anonymous to create two of my cards. For day’s when I was laying in bed my last thoughts were the dang Crazy Dog stamps! LOVE them!

Distress inks were to used to watercolor all my cards today. I also did a lot of masking but, I love to see the masking images transform into a little scene ! 🙂

Today’s video is alittle long but, I didn’t want to cut anything out during my watercoloring.(Usually mine are a lot shorter)  If you want to  subscribe  to my channel that would be so lovely.

I cut the middle out of the sentiment except for the word “OH” and masked the rest off. Two of the flowers were painted and popped on my card for added dimension.

Love combining stamp companies. This is with the Tim Holtz crazy dogs again and Altenew’s flower stamp set.

IMG_4335

Here is another card I painted on the fly and finished adding some details at the airport and the rest early this am…like paper and sequins. These flowers are from the Altenew stamp set in the box plus I added one flower from Simon’s stamp set.

I think it’s so fun to receive so many wonderful stamp sets from different companies in one box! This box is a limited time offer…once it’s gone, it’s gone. It’s a pretty cool idea getting all of these awesome stamps in one bundle before they are released. In the box as you can see is a wide variety of stamps and some dies. If there is one that you aren’t keen on … think holiday gift or Birthday gift.

GIVEAWAY!!! Each stop in the hop will be giving away a $25 gift certificate!! Wow!! All you need to do to quality to win is comment….the more blogs you comment on the more chances you have to win!! Lots of chances for sure…. like TWENTY TWO … Winners will be announced Monday on the Simon blog. Good Luck 🙂

Make sure to keep hopping…Click HERE for the next stop on the hop. It’s the amazing Wanda Guess! Thank you for your visit today it’s always so appreciated. See you tomorrow for the 13th day of the coloring challenge. Hugs, Kathy

    Your watercolour is so pretty, Kathy! I’ve got distress inks but I haven’t tried watercolouring with them. Something else for me to try! I’m getting lots of ideas! The Simon box collection looks fabulous! Lots of variety and options! I’m still going strong with my colouring: 12/12! Yay! Thanks for the daily inspiration – it helps keep me going! I keep hearing you say, “just 5 minutes,” and that gets me started – and of course I’m always at it longer than that because I enjoy myself! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

    Great idea to combine the two stamps sets from different companies…isn’t that part of what the Box is about? The fact that they can all work and play together! Great coloring…is there anything that you can’t color with? You make all the mediums look great!

    All four cards are stunning, Kathy! So clever masking off the “happy” so it looks like the crazy dog is saying, “Oh.”

    I’m guessing I didn’t comment on this post and I thought I did. I think I am spacing out and I am so excited to win something, anything! Your cards are so cute! I like the dogs and I like how you used stamps from other sets for the set you used. I don’t always do that and maybe I should. Everything is so colorful and I love the flowers! Thanks for showing us what you did.
    Right now I am not in a good mood because I have to have surgery on my foot! I will be laid up for 6 weeks! I don’t want to be laid up for 6 weeks! Please pray for me! I sure need it! I hope I win something!
