Anything Goes - Simon Says Stamp DT

Good afternoon lovely peeps!
I hope you all had a lovely Christmas & got to spend time relaxing with your loved ones.
I am still full of this horrible cold that is doing the rounds & had a lovely Christmas Day but was also very happy to see everyone leave by 7 pm as I was desperate for a hot bath & snuggle in my pj's.


It's Wednesday which means -
 at
& this week our challenge is
Anything Goes
Don't forget you can enter our challenge 5 times and there is no limit to how many challenges you combine your entry with.
Do you use Instagram?  If so, please add #ssswchallenge to your challenge entry uploads so we can see them on there too. 

My fabulous teamies & I are featuring
Lindy's Stamp Gang logo

 goodies on our cards this week. You don't have to use them for the challenge but if you have them we'd love to see them.


This week I have chosen to feature the Lindy's Scintillating Silver Glitz Spritz which I have spritzed over the whole card for that lovely silver shimmer.
I started creating this card a couple of weeks ago but what with Christmas & being ill never got around to finishing it so I changed my plan & created it really simply as the last thing I wanted to do was force my aching body to sit at my desk & finish making this card, but I managed it, eventually!

After having the pretty Tim Holtz Tattered Poinsettia die for a few years & not using it I am getting my money's worth this year & have used it again :) 
 I coloured the Poinsettia using a selection of pink distress inks & then die cut it a second time and inked some additional large Poinsettia leaves with pinks & grey inks to build it up more.
I die cut SSS's Believe & glittered it, & also die cut a few of the pretty Maryanne snowflakes. I used Simon's Falling Stars stencil over the whole background before adding the embellishments & then added a few pearls to finish.

As always our lovely Heidi is sponsoring our challenge with a $50 voucher for the fabulous
