Simon Says......Make Your Own Background

Welcome to the new challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge blog!

This week we want you to "Make Your Own Background".  The team is featuring Picket Fence Studios products.  You don't have to use this brand to enter, but if you do have any of their products, we'd love to see what you do with them!

I chose a gorgeous Lavender Frame Cover die and made 2 cards with it, since having this die practically makes the card by itself.  I have a dawn version and a dusk one.

supplies: white cardstock, Lavender Frame Cover die, shaded lilac, saltwater taffy, and squeezed lemonade oxide inks and blender brushes, Simon Leafy Frames sentiment, embossed in white

This cover die cuts out a frame that goes outside the left edge, which really appealed to me!  Here's the dusk version, just switching to black cardstock and darker colors.

supplies: black cardstock, Lavender Frame Cover die, wilted violet, salty ocean, and peacock feathers oxide inks, blender brushes, Simon Miss You die

The other thing I really liked about this die set was that it also has 3 separate smaller sprigs of lavender, so for all you get, I think the price point is excellent.

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

to the amazing Simon Says Stamp store for 1 lucky random winner of this week's challenge!  I can't wait to see what you all make this week!

And don't forget our Kids' Summer Vacation Challenge, ongoing all this month, for kids 16 and under.
