Welcome to another challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge!
It's our 6th birthday at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog! Our blog began on April 1, 2009. We want to thank you for supporting us these 6 years!
So of course, our theme is birthdays this week. The Design Team are using all Simon Says Stamp products this week, and if you have them we'd love to see you showcasing them, too! Here's my first card for today:
supplies: Simon's Lots of Dots, white pigment ink, Sending & Wishing, Wishing die, Crystal Reflections sequins, picked raspberry, mustard seed, and ripe persimmon distress inks
I wanted to do a bokeh effect and started by sponging on distress inks to my trimmed watercolor panel, then overstamping several sizes of the solid dots with white ink. After drying thorougly, it was affixed to my card base, then I cut and stamped my sentiment and added some of these colorful crystal reflections sequins.
I used cooler colors for my second card:
supplies: Simon's Oh Happy Day die, Audrey Blue, Green Apple, and a yellow cardstock, Love This (stamped sentiment), Stars & Dots stencil, peacock feathers, mustard seed, and shabby shutters distress inks
It's your turn now! Because this is a special occasion, we have not one, but SIX $50.00 gift vouchers to the amazing Simon Says Stamp store for some lucky random winners of our challenge!
Do you use Instagram? If you do, we'd love you to add #ssswchallenge to your challenge entry uploads so we can see them on there, too!
