Welcome to this week's new Simon Says Stamp Challenge Day. This challenge is so fun and easy. All you have to do is create a card that has a checked, gingham, or plaid pattern on it and link it to the challenge blog. The prize is fantastic and I know you all have some paper that will fit the challenge so why not join us.
Here is my card. I used TreasureTempestwind, one of the new Sweet November mermaid stamps from C.C. Designs, plus a sentiment from their Beach Sentiments. I totally love those mermaids. There are 5 in all. They have the cutest little friends too that you get along with the mermaid stamp.
The paper is from Poppy Seeds by K& Company and the silver flourish embellishment was cut out using Tim Holtz's die Elegant Flourishes from silver glitter paper by Best Creations.
and here is the prize. Heidi at Simon Says Stamp is giving one lucky entrant a shopping spree to her store.
Wow! Now that's a prize!!
Simon Says Stamp is a fantastic online store that carries everything that you need to stamp, punch, cut, and spray beautiful cards and paper crafts!! (Well probably even a lot more than that! Hehe) Each week they sponsor a challenge and give away a $25 gift certificate to one lucky winner.
Other supplies used on my card were Shimmerz (Pixie Dust), Ranger Liquid Pearls (White Opal), and Twinkling H2o's (Navajo Pearl).
Have a great day. I am heading to Florida to visit family on Friday so I will be super busy trying to get everything ready but I have a couple more fun blog posts for you in the next few days before I leave so check back!!
Oh my goodness, Christine!! This is SO gorgeous. I love the pearls you added to accent and the combination of patterns is great! I love this mermaid stamp from C.C.!
When looking for a beautiful inspiration this card really “checks” out!
