Warm Watercolored Background, Thanks

07/5/2017

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. This week the challenge is Summer Sunshine!

We are featuring Simon Says Stamp Exclusive 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! As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store! YAY!

Warm Watercolored Background, Thanks

I love summer and create a lot of cards around that theme, so I decided to switch it up a bit this week and go for “sunshiny” colors. I just got some new Daniel Smith Watercolors and I was itching to play with those. I embossed the beautiful Cora Background Stamp on Distress Watercolor Cardstock. Then I did a wash of a few different watercolor colors.

Painted Thanks, Simon Says Stamp

I framed the background on some Lawn Fawn Sunflower Cardstock. For the sentiment I used one of SSS hand-painted dies. I LOVE these and use them so much. I die-cut the word “thanks” 5 times and stacked them for some dimension. To finish off the card I added some Neat & Tangled gold sequins.

Ok- so now it’s time for YOU to enter the challenge. Remember, Summer Sunshine! 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.
