The theme for this week's Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge is "Wendy Vecchi Style". I figured that this was the opportunity for me to get a bit crafty with the sewing machine! :) Just a couple of lines of stitching, but now that I've done it you may see more in the future, lol
Dontcha love the splat effect you get by dabbing a Distress Stain onto card, it looks so dramatic! I used stains in aged mahogany, scattered straw and worn lipstick on this piece. I have to say, the more I use them, the more I love 'em! :) I spritzed the white background card with water and then applied the stains on top of that, it makes them blend together so hazily, I love the effect.
Our ever-generous sponsor Simon Says Stamp is offering a $50 gift voucher as the prize again this week! The winner will be chosen at random from those who enter the challenge, so why not give it a try? At the very least why not head over to the Challenge Blog to see how the other members of the design team have interpreted this weeks theme! :)

Fantastic! have only just invested in distress stains and been doing a bit of ladylike swiping, now I'm off for a splat!x
A great card Dan and my dad used to say those words to us when we were children and it was meaning when the money arrived and not sure what it means to you Northerners you will have to let me know x
Hi Dan, omg I just had to check the video out, love the dialect, and I could understand it lol ... the splatter blob is way cool and your stitches too.
Gorgeous card, and I love stamping on a text background! I really love the way you blended the colors in the crown and the sentiment is perfect!

I absolutely love this - your colours are fabulous (remeber the song too - and now I'm singing about a fishy on a dishy!!!) Well done on grabbing that machine, the world's best dress-makers are tailors...so go for it....you're already on zigzag - so buttonholes are next! A fabulous card...
Fab creation Dan and the splats look so effective. ;-) The stitching looks great too. Funny, I bought the 'Sew Easy' tool with the same stitch yesterday from Hobbycraft. I'm happy they are hanging the floors around, so all Tim's and other craft stuff I use is on the ground floor. :-D TFS. ~Glen~
I love that face stamp,it looks brilliant!Great title too.
Fantastic splatters and beautiful colours, very Wendy ish :)
