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!

Love the simplicity of this tag Cheiron. It is just plain perfect. The inspiration that I needed today. Thank you!

I can’t tell, but did you sand the edges of the gold paper leaves? I’m wondering if it’s like the craft-core where the center of the paper is different. The antique linen color adds a great vintage vibe and the golden rose works (even for a guy). I like tags on the simple-side and really admire this one. It’s just right!

This is stunning and has so many great little details! I love the metallic touches and how you added a rose to the greenery. The sentiment is perfect and I adore how you stapled it to look like stitched X’s. So much inspiration in such a tiny little tag!
