Yeah, today is Simon Says Stamp Challenge blog day. The challenge is to use blue, white and silver on your card. The design team also used a Penny Black stamp so if you have one then please join us with that as well.
If you enter your card for the challenge here, you could win a gift certificate to the Simon Says Stamp Online store.
For the month of the December the gift certificate prize has been raised to $50.
Wow, that is a lot of product. They will also pay the shipping charges. So get your card making supplies out and get creating!
The Penny Black stamp that I used is called FROSTY. Simple and sweet, I love it!! It was actually really easy to color too. I just swiped my Copic markers B000, B00, B01 on the sides of the snowman and under the snow and it looks great. I cut out the image with my circle Spellbinders die and mounted it on a scalloped circle Spellbinders die that matched my circle cut out of silver paper. I also used my sewing machine to add some stitching around the edges of the circle die cut and base of the card.
For the background snow, I adhered pieces of white grosgrain ribbon onto white cardstock and the cut it into a snowdrift before attached it to the base card. Then I put some Stickles silver glitter glue along the edge.
The sentiment tag was first cut with my EK Success large slim line tag punch and then was stamped in VersaMark Dazzle and embossed with Ranger Silver Embossing Powder. Then I used my Sakura Quickie Glue Pen, ****LOVE THIS ADHESIVE/TOOL!!!****, and drew a line around the edge of the and sprinkled Martha Stewart silver glitter on it.
The last embellishment that I created was the snowflake. I used my EK Success Large Snowflake punch on white cardstock and then glued Martha Steward silver glitter to the piece using the Essential Glue Pad by Tsukineko. Then I topped it with another snowflake punched with a smaller Martha Stewart snowflake punch and attached a gem to the center.

Love all your detail on the sentiment panel & that snowflake is a beauty. I've recently discovered that I'm lacking when it comes to snowmen - shall have to remedy that so of course I notice all the snowman images now!!!! Love this one with the snowdrift you made for him.
