Simon Says..........Summer!

Happy Wednesday, and welcome to a new challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge!

This week we want you to feature SUMMER!  The design team are all using Simon Says Stamp exclusives, and we'd love to see your ideas using them, too, but you can use any products you like, as long as your creation follows our summer theme.

I concentrated on summer colors for my cards this week.  For my first card I chose 2 Simon stamp sets, the new Floral Bookmarking and the sentiment from Watt's Up?.  I used Simon's cardstocks Sunshine, Doll Pink, Orange Peel, and Green Apple, along with some matching inks from various companies.

For my second card, I chose 2 Simon stamp sets, Color and Sunshine (the sun) and Sending Happy Thoughts ("hello") and combined them, stamping them in fun citrus shades (Hero Arts Orange Soda, Butter Bar, Fresh Peach, and Simon's Green Apple) then cutting them out.  The original plan was to make them into sunflowers, but I didn't like the results, and switched gears.  This blackboard paper was part of the August Card Kit, from BoBunny's Lemonade Stand collection, (as was the "summer" embellishment from Simple Stories Good Day Sunshine) and it really makes the perfect backdrop for my suns.  I added a few Doodlebug Sprinkles here and there for some extra color.

Okay, it's your turn!  As always we have a $50.00 gift voucher
