Simon Says..........Anything Goes!

Happy Wednesday - welcome to our challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog!

It's Anything Goes week, and the team is featuring Tim Holtz products!  I have 2 cards for you today, both made almost exclusively with dies.  

For this first one, I used some favorite dies, cutting them from patterned papers.

supplies: Tim Holtz Feathered Friends bird die, a Funky Foliage leafy branch die, and various small-scale tone-on-tone Doodlebug patterned papers, Simon's Beautiful Butterflies sentiment, a Doodlebug heart sprinkle

I tried all kinds of combinations of patterned papers for my bird, and finally settled on this one in blues.  You know how I like my ginghams, and his wing and under-body are made of a paper that has tiny music notes on it!  I pieced him together, constructed some leafy branches for him to sit in, and then arranged them all on a background wood-grain panel, adding the sweet sentiment and a little heart to match.

Here's a 2nd card, using Tim's Colorize Bloom dies.  These are so easy to put together!

supplies: white, kraft, yellows, pinks, purple, Lavender, Cotton Candy, Green Apple, and Green Leaf cardstock, Colorize Bloom dies, Simon's (retired) Beautiful Day sentiment, tumbled glass distress ink, a retired script woodblock stamp

I simply constructed the leaves, buds, and flowers, then made an arrangement of them and placed them over a panel with a subtle script in the background.

Now it's your turn!  We have a $25.00 gift certificate
