Simon Says Stamp Challenge Day- Martine's Sketch

We've got another fantastic challenge for you this week on Simon Says Stamp Challenge blog.  Martine has created a wonderful sketch for you to work with.  You can see the sketch here.  

For my card I used this gorgeous stamp by Sarah Kay.  Her little face is so sweet and the detail in her hair, clothing and garden are just priceless.  There are so many different ways you can color her.  On this card I went for a subtle look to match the beautiful Basic Grey Cappella paper.  I used Copic markers to color her in and the Copic airbrush system to apply a light blue halo around her.

Don't forget there is a weekly winner of a $25 dollar gift certificate to the Simon Says Stamp online store that is picked randomly from all those that participate in the challenge.  Wow!

 

I hope that you will visit Simon Says Stamp's online store to see all of the other wonderful products that they carry.  Check back each Wednesday to hear all the details about that week's challenge and have another chance to win a $25 gift certificate to the Simon Says Stamp Store.  I would also like to tell you about a special new Design Team that Simon Says Stamp is taking applications for.  Check out the details below written by Heidi, owner of Simon Says Stamp Online store.  If you like to stamp in a vintage style than this design team is for you!

We have a New Vintage styled Challenge Blog going live in August!  It is called Simon Says Stamp and Show. The new challenge is devoted to All Things Vintage! The Style is inspired by the likes of Tim Holtz, Wendy Vecchi, 7 Gypsies and Graphic 45 - among many other Vintage enthusiasts.

The Design Team Call is from now until this Friday, and we would love to hear from you! Please goHERE for the details! The new challenge is Directed by the infamous, worldly, and OOOOBER talented Linda Elbourne! We are so pleased and honored to have her join us! Thank you Linda! I have been eying Linda's work for almost a year and had the luckiest opportunity in the world to meet her in person and sit across from her for Ranger U! It was a thrill and delight. Please join us in welcoming Linda to our Team!

We are soooo excited for the new challenge! The prizes are FANTASTIC! We have loads of variety packs of Tim Holtz, 7 Gypsies, Jenni Bowlin, Ranger, Wendy Vecchi goodies...and SO MUCH MORE!

Hope to see you over at Simon Says Stamp and Show!

Luv,

Heidi 

I hope you all good luck if you decide to enter this call.

I also want to thank all those who left me sweet comments about getting better.  It was totally unexpected and very much appreciated. I can't tell you how much they all meant to me.  Unfortunately I still am not feeling 100% quite yet but trying to rest as much as possible to get there.

I'm so excited about all of the sneak peeks that I have been seeing of the new product being released at Summer CHA.  I would love to hear some of your favorites.
