Simon Says Stamp Challenge | Movie & Clean and Simple


Hello there, as the title suggests I've been creating a card this week for the challenges at Simon says stamp, which Monday's challenge is At the Movie's and Wednesday's is CAS. So I thought about my favourite film that's been my favourite since I was little, you might of already guess it...yes it was set in New York!! Well if you haven't already guessed it's Home Alone 2 Lost in New York. When this is on TV it makes me think of Christmas and get all warm and cosy. If you're not seen this movie yet, I'd highly recommend  you watch it.     


Made A2 US size card from black card, opened the silhouette software and created stitched rectangle then created a internal offset rectangle to create frame and added an element I purchase from silhouette store called New York Skyline by Studio Calico into the middle of the frame and once I released compound path, I welded them together then cut it out the silhouette.     


Next I rubbed a little cornflour over the panel to remove any static, using my DIY stamping tool I stamped "A Little Note" from Clearly Besotted Mini Messages with perfect medium and poured over WOW bright white embossing powder and heat set with heat tool. Cut a piece of Crelando sky blue card to fit slightly smaller than the panel itself and adhered to the card with double sided tape. Applied double sided foam tape to the back of the panel and adhere to the card, finished off with a few sequins and I adhere them using micro glue dots.  


I always fancied visiting New York since I was child, as I can imagine it's like walking onto a real working film set. Flying is not my thing at all as I have serious fear of flying! I went to Florida many years ago that flight was traumatic enough to have put me right off flying. Sorry if the photos don't look as good as they usually do, but I'm having a few problems with the lighting and my camera at moment even with using my Ikea lamp the photos are coming out with pink tint for some reason, so I will have to look into that for next time, I suppose all the sunshine we had does'nt help.


This will be entered into the following challenges

  1. Love this skyline! I love how simple it is and with just the blue background and the few sequins. I think the photos are fine. I've just bought a daylight bulb (see Michelle's blog for a link) and I'm going to see if that makes photographing any better for me. It works in my Forsa lamp quite well. xx

    1. Aw thank you Ruth, you are so kind. I too have one of those daylight bulbs with my Forsa lamp which has worked well with my camera for months but I've just started to have problems with lighting and my camera, think the bright sunshine does not help lol. Enjoy the rest of your weekend? x

  5. WOW! This is CAS perfection, Missy. You've nailed the New York skyline. It really is like no other place on earth. Hopefully one day you'll be able to fly and visit this amazing city. But I know that flying can be a pain especially long haul. This month has been particularly trying. Usually it isn't so bad. I travel a fair bit for work, still... nothing like being home! :)
