Simon Says .......... Anything Goes!

It's the last Wednesday of the month, and that means it's your favorite challenge: Anything Goes! at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge blog.

The design team were generously treated to some Spectrum Noir colored pencils, and we are all showing off some cards that we made using them.  

October is my favorite month of fall, and so I made some autumn-toned cards for you this week.  I stamped on kraft cardstock and then colored in my images with the creamy Spectrum Noir colored pencils.   I wanted a particular purple, so I combined a blue and a lavender to get it, and the pencils performed beautifully.  I'm so pleased to now have these wonderful pencils in my arsenal!

supplies: Paper Smooches Blossoming Buds, Spectrum Noir pencils from their Essentials and Primaries collections, Winnie & Walter's Big, Bold Seasons, various enamel dots

For my second card I pulled out a beautiful Memory Box woodblock stamp called Maple Wreath and added a sentiment from Clearly Besotted's Autumn Flowers, along with a triple twine bow secured with a button.

Now it's your turn!  We have a $50.00 gift voucher

for the random winner of this week's challenge, to be spent at the Simon Says Stamp store!!

AND the generous people at Spectrum Noir have added a prize of 2 sets (winner's choice) of their beautiful colored pencil sets to a second random winner!  

ETA: Both of these cards will work for The Card Concept's current challenge, so I'll be entering them there, I guess in the Clean and Simple category or Clean and Layered.
