Simon Says........Make for the Border!

Happy Wednesday!  Welcome to another challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday blog!

Our theme this week is "Make for the Border"!  You can interpret that any way you'd like - I'll bet we'll have some fun and unique entries this week!  The Design Team are working with Memory Box products.  If you have any of their products, we'd love to see you using them, too!

When I hear "border", I think garden border, so I made you a card full of delphiniums.  They come in the most luscious blues and purples, even some pinks and whites, and because they can get to 6' or so, they put on a real show in a garden!  I used some coordinating stencils to make my border.

supplies: white and purple cardstock, Memory Box Garden Stencils, Delphinium and Stems, Spectrum Aqua markers (wildflower, heather, peacock blue, and moss), Simon's Stitched Rectangle die, happy die, adhesive foam, Hero Arts birthday sentiment

First I cut my stitched rectangle, then used my stencils with markers to make my delphinium border, moving them around to get a good full panel of them.  Then I die-cut the big happy from my panel, and cut it a 2nd time from adhesive foam, and put the stamped one on top.   I stamped my birthday sentiment, and then fit in my die-cut in it's place, framed the whole panel, and affixed it to my card base.

For my 2nd card, I used a flower die and made a border strip this time:

supplies: white, black, and Audrey Blue cardstock, Memory Box Hibiscus Flower die, DieNamics Layered Leaves die, distress inks to sponge, Taylored Expressions Leafy Vine embossing folder, Simon Sunshine die, hello from Winnie & Walter The Big, the Bold, and the Happy, sequins to match flowers.

Now it's your turn - I can't wait to see what you create!  We have another $50.00 gift voucher
