Simon Says.........Thanks/Thanksgiving

wed-newchallenge-header

Hello!  It's time again for another challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog!

Simon Wednesday Challenge Blog

This week our theme is Thanks or Thanksgiving and the design team are using Simon's exclusive products. 


I stamped the wreath from a Simon/Clearly Besotted set called Autumn Blessings 3 times in 3 different inks, then fussy-cut it out and trimmed it with a twine bow and a wood veneer heart dipped in red ink, then popped it above the surface of my card.  The sentiment is also from the same set, and I added some of Simon's new Fall sequins.

And another really CAS card, using the 2nd wreath in the same set, stamping it several times in 2 green inks:


I used another of the sentiments and some darling dangling hearts from Simon's Like Your Style set, both stamped in Simon's Lipstick Red ink.

Now it's your turn!

We have a $50.00 gift voucher for the random winner of our challenge.

I'd like to enter my first card into AAA Cards current challenge, which is also a Thanksgiving theme.

There's something so amazingly sweet about that first one. I love the colors and I think it's the darling little blue sequin that does it!
