Happy Birthday to us!! We are celebrating the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge, and I bet you can guess how many years! Yes, 7!!
Please join me in welcoming Simona Rebecchi, aka Ginny and the Sheep as our Guest Designer this month! I know you are going to enjoy her creativity!! We are so happy to have you with us, Simona!
If you have kids, grands, nieces, nephews, neighbors between the ages of 2 and 16, we have a special summer challenge just for them this month!
Can you believe it?! 7 years - I think that is exciting!! I decided to make a celebration card.
I started off by stamping the Kaleidoscope Background stamp from Simon's new release - Encouraging Words. Next, I added Distress Oxides and spritzed it with water. I let that dry and then went back in and blended a bit more. I also used the oxide inks on the ruler ribbon. As you can see, I did a bit of stitching too!
And here is why you should ALWAYS check what your word looks like before you add ink and stamp!! LOL!
I dug through my stash and found as many sevens as I could and arranged them in a cluster along with my words. I added some Rainbow Unicorn bling from 28 Lilac Lane to finish it off. Aren't these colors luscious?
I stamped the MONDAY to the bottom in pink, and then added a secondary stamping of blue to make a shadow. I'm not sure if it looks like a shadow, or double vision!
So please come join us in celebrating our 7 years!! Think Happy Birthday, and show us your Simon Says Stamp products if you have them. I'm looking forward to seeing what you make!

ReplyDeleteSuch a fun collection of sevens!! (I have run out of that number after having used it on projects for Anton this year). Love the patch of embellishments and the pretty colors.
ReplyDeleteSuch a fabulous card! I especially like the way you double-stamped the Monday and made that cluster of shiny goodies right in the center. You are always a visionary and I'm so glad to be able to be along for the ride!
