Last week I received my first ever Simon Says Stamp Card Kit, which I was very lucky to have won (Thanks Sarah!!). It has the most gorgeous papers in it from Pinkfresh Studio and a lot of them have beautiful geometric patterns. So I had to find a way to show them off:
I realised that I hadn't used this 'hi' die from Winnie and Walter for ages, so it was time to dust it off and take it for a spin!
I cut a panel of white CS the same size at the card front and die-cut the word from the middle. The patterned paper was adhered to the card front and I stamped the sentiment (also Winnie and Walter 'The Big, the Bold and Friends') under the die-cut. Lots of foam tape was added to the back of the panel and after it was pressed into place, I sprinkled on some sequins (the peach and gold from Neat and Tangled, and pink from Pretty Pink Posh). I think the die shows off the paper just nicely!!
I have three other challenges to enter:
Simon Says Stamp - Monday Challenge (Love the Technique - Die cutting)
Simon Says Stamp - Wednesday Challenge (Die Crazy)
Winnie and Walter - Join in to win
I'm off to pack up the car with my gardening tools and drive off into the sun. So exciting to see all the plants coming up, especially the peonies. I don't have any in my garden, so hopefully I will be able to enjoy these ones before the house sells (goes up for Auction next month). I will really miss this garden, have put so much time into it, its like my baby. I hope whoever buys it loves it as much as I do!!
Take care
Shona

ReplyDeleteIt's fun to use some of your older supplies, isn't it? I always feel like I'm visiting an old friend. :)
ReplyDeleteYou've created a beautiful card. Thank you for sharing it with us for the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. ~Michelle
Awesome! So very very creative :)
ReplyDeleteOh my...you have showcased this lovely paper in a most stunning fashion! Gorgeous! And I'm wildly applauding that you won this kit; I've not bought a Simon Says kit...yet. After seeing your paper here, that alone might convince me to take the plunge (penny-saving for now, though!). I'd love to see photos of the garden. *hint, hint*
