Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes

07/30/2014

Time for a NEW Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

I am back with a Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge card! This week’s challenge is Anything Goes – Whatever your creative imagination comes up with! The design team is sharing creations using stamps from CAS-ual Friday and Technique Tuesday.

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes | shurkus.com

Jennifer let me borrow a few of her CAS-ual Fridays stamp sets since I didn’t have any in my collection and didn’t have the time to get some. So sweet of her ๐Ÿ˜‰ I used the Sunbeam set. I stamped the sun and sentiment on the new Distress Specialty Stamping Paper with Hero Arts Chalk Ink in Poppy. I really like how vibrant the colors look on this paper, and it has a nice smooth surface.

I used some pattern papers from Doodle Bugs Kraft in Color 6×6 paper pad. I also embellished the card a bit with a paper straw. You can see how I used paper straws on some of my other cards here and here. To finish it off I covered the sunbeam with glossy accents for some added dimension and shine.

Ok- so now it’s time for YOU to enter the challenge.

Just by playing along (creating something, anything!) 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.

One lucky winner will be chosen at random, it could be you!

Simon Says Stamp Prize

I really hope to see some of my blog readers join in on all the fun and play along with the challenge. I can’t wait to stop by some of your blogs and take a peek at what you have made. Have a wicked fun time creating!

Make sure to check back each Wednesday for another fun challenge over at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog!

    Hi Jenn, thanks for the good wishes of being without the internet – boo-hoo!!! The fuzzy bee outfit – pale grey with darker squiggles and dots – why it looked shiny – a miracle !!!
    Your card is fabulous – I love the design and beautiful colour scheme. Gorgeous stripe and dots with a great image and sentiment!!!

    hugs
    Heather xx
