simon says stamp monday challenge: not your regular paper

This week we are using anything but regular paper over at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog. I am playing with my current obsesssion – the Tim Holtz Metallic Kraft Core Paper. This paper is so fun to die cut, emboss or sand with. I have even painted on it. 

I die cut a mini shield and some spring greenery out of the gold paper to make the focal point for my tag:

To make the focal point more cohesive, I added one of the Heirloom Roses that was inked with gold alcohol ink: 

And here's a close up of that neutral texture paste that seems to blend in in the photo, but is definitely there: 

Simon Says Stamp is giving away a $50 gift voucher that will go to one random challenge entry. So please join us for this week's challenge at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. You might also be on our Friday Designer Spotlight. Good luck, I can't wait to see what you make!
