Time for a NEW Simon Says Stamp Wednesday ChallengeHey, everyone! Welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge! Thank you to everyone who joined us for our challenge last week and we hope you will all join us again this week too.

Before we get onto the challenge I wanted to let you guys know that the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Team is having a design team call! This is YOUR chance to be part of this amazing team!! You can see more details about the call and apply here 

Ok, back to this weeks challenge- It is Happy Birthday! Simon Says Stamp is celebrating their 9th birthday!!

We are featuring Simon Says Stamp Products this week. You don’t have to use them to join in with the challenge, but if you have them we would love to see them used! Because this is a special occasion Simon Says Stamp will be giving away NINE $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store! YAY!

Party Like You Mean It, Simon Says Stamp

Ok, I guess I’m on a little run of rainbow creations – nothing wrong with that right? I started this card off with white embossing Simon Says Stamps Grid Background Cling Stamp. Then I proceeded to watercolor each square in rainbow colors. I started with a layer of regular Distress Ink then on top of that painted a little Distress Oxide.

I used more water when I wanted the color to really move around. Once the background was finished I stamped and embossed “Party” and “Like you mean it” from the Cathy Zielske Birthday Palooza clear stamp set.

I filled in some of the squares with the Lawn Fawn glue tube and added Lawn Fawn Chunky Glitter. I added a few iridescent sequins and then a few black enamel dots.

I seriously LOVE the sparkle that the Chunky Glitter gives- it’s a party all on its own!

Ok- so now it’s time for YOU to enter the challenge. Remember, Happy Birthday! Just by playing along and linking up your project to the SSS Wednesday Challenge post you can qualify to enter a $50 shopping voucher to the Simon Says Stamp store.Instagram Logo Also if you are on instagram tag your photo with #ssswchallenge 🙂 There will be ONE lucky winner that will be chosen at random, it could be you!

    Hi Jenn-I’m not sure if my comment was “saved” so I’m trying once again to be sure lol.

    I love this card – I did not know about this background stamp before seeing your card – you have made it look incredible with the watercolor and bling – what fun to celebrate Simon’s 9 years in business! How awesome that they are offering 9 prizes too.
