Simon Says.........Animal Magic!

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


wed-newchallenge-header




We are excited to share that we have SIX new sisters debuting this week!  Please welcome Ankita, Karen, Kim, Marge, Mindy, and Misty!

This week our theme is Animal Magic, and the team is playing with Gina K products.

First up, a wreath of rainbow butterflies.


supplies: white card, dp from Lawn Fawn Really Rainbow striped dp, Gina K Wreath Builder stencil, and hearts from Wreath Builder stamp set, butterfly from Simon's Beautiful Day, picked raspberry, candied apple, carved pumpkin, mustard seed, lucky clover, mermaid lagoon, blueprint sketch, and wilted violet mini distress inks, sentiment from Simon's Watt's Up?, Sparkling Clear sequins, Tim Holtz Stamp Platform

I used the wreath builder stencil to stamp my butterflies and hearts in rainbow order into a wreath, adding some tiny dots as fillers. This wreath builder stencil, in conjunction with a stamp platform, makes it so easy to form a perfect wreath using all our smaller stamps - it is a must-have!

Next, another colorful design using the Bella Elephant stamp set.


supplies: white cardstock, various Doodlebug dps, Gina K Bella Elephant stamps, My Favorite Things Stitched Mini Scallop Square die

I wasn't in the mood to color, so I stamped Bella on a dotty grey paper, then found a sketch that I had saved on Pinterest and surrounded her with lots of bright papers.

Now it's your turn!  We have a $50.00 gift certificate

  10. I love them both, Lin. The beautiful rainbow goes perfectly with that sentiment. And that elephant is adorable. What a great layout. I always forget about sketches... I have tons of them pinned on Pinterest. I've admired your work for awhile now. Your cards always seem to pop up when I'm looking for inspiration. :) I'm really looking forward to being on the Simon Says design team with you. I can't wait to jump in with both feet!! I'm pretty bummed I couldn't join this week. I'm itching to craft!!
