Hello and welcome to this weeks simon says stamp wednesday challenge it is an anything goes challenge. The design team is using products from hero arts. Don't forgot every week at Simon Says Stamp we give away a $50 voucher...wooohooo....now that is worth playing for!




I have used a gorgoeus daniel smith watercolor ink for the background...I adore her vibrant inks. This color is not in the simon says stamp store, but there are some stunning colors to see here. I have used the super fun hero arts criss cross stencil to spread some wendy vechhi embossing paste. The thank you is die cut with black card stock and then I added a bit of stickles for some shine. A super CAS card, but I luv the outcome. I can't wait to see what you create this week.

sunday stamps - sending happy thoughts


A sweet little card for you to today using the sunday stamps sketch, the flower was in my little extra box as were the leaves. I watercolored the left portion and added some ink splatter and then stamped the sentiment several times using my mini misit. There is also some paste embossing on the right side and I sponged it with a bit of tim holtz distressed inks. I adore the polka dotted designer paper and the fun flower....just a happy card! hope you have a wonderful day and week!
