This weeks challenge at Simon Says Stamp and Show is; use the stamp you love, but don't use.  One of my stamps that I love and is also one of my oldest is, Dragonfly, by Stampers Anonymous.   I use distress stains and perfect pearls on the background, along with some stencils.  The dragonfly was embossed.  I added a layer of wings using the clear plastic sheet from a sheet of stamps.  Just a little bit of heat curls it.

This week Simon Says Stamp is offering the lucky winner $50.00 voucher to their on line store.

Over at Simon Says Stamp and Show the challenge is  Metal -ology.  I have not used metal much.  I tried to make a sign, but it just did not work.  I will have to try that technique again when I have time.  I used the distressed paint on the tattered flowers.  The background was made by embossing the tag.  Then using distress ink and clear embossing powder on the raised letters, to create a resists.

I also posting this at the Tim Holtz Tattered Floral Challenge.  Five lucky winners will receive $100.00 bags full of goodies.

Over at Inspiration Emporium it's "Love is in the air".  I am taking Stephanie Ackerman class "52 card pickup.  I have had a chance to start on this, so I am entering the first of my cards in the challenge.
