It's the last Wednesday of the month, and that means Anything Goes at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge!
This week the design team are using American Crafts products; they make a great variety of items, so you'll see lots of fun ideas this week by my teamies!
I chose their Amy Tangerine Plus One 6" papers, and challenged myself to make 2 cards using only that pad with minimal embellishments.
My favorite paper in this pad is this black and white floral one with the smudges of color here and there. So I framed it up with some of the solids in the pad, gave it a wonky trim, and added it to the polka dot from the pad that I used as my background. There are also a few pages in the pad with sentiments like this one, so I just framed it with black and added it, along with a scattering of enamel dots to match the colors.
And for this card, I started with a black and white chevron paper, then cut some of the others into strips and paper-pieced them to it on 1 side only, alternating colors and black and white patterns. That finished panel was then trimmed as you see it and attached to a white card base. I used another of the sentiments from the pad, this time framed in pink, and added some Hero Arts Diamond Gemstones to its left - they give off all kinds of kaleidoscopic colors, perfect for this card!
Okay, now it's your turn!
There's another $50.00 gift voucher for the random winner, to spend as you like at our fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store!
I'll see you there!
