Simon Says … Happy Birthday featuring Simon Says Stamp

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge. Thank you for joining us for the Anything Goes Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too

This week the challenge is

Happy Birthday

We’re showcasing our very own Simon Says Stamp Products this week. You don’t have to use them to join in but if you have some we would love to see them used.

As this is such a special occasion the lovely folks over at Simon Says Stamp are generously giving away a fabulous $50 voucher to shop at the  Simon Says Stamp Store! All you have to do is take out your crafty supplies, make something following this week’s prompt, and add a link in the Inlinkz at the bottom of this post! You can join 5 times so you could have 5 chances to win! How AWESOME is that!! All winners are chosen randomly, so everyone has an equal chance to win! Woo Hoo!! Good Luck to everyone!

One of my favourite recent Simon Says Stamp goodies that I couldn’t wait to snap up is the Pocket Mushrooms Die set from the Festive Fun release. I have a thing for toadstools and mushrooms so this set went right into my basket! I created a card mat using the Scalloped Frame dies from Honey Bee Stamps and adhered it to my card. I stamped a floral background stamp (retired but similar to THIS one) and embossed in white then lightly coloured it using a water colour technique and distress inks. It has a shimmer spray over the top for a bit more sparkle!

The oval scalloped frames are a retired Avery Elle set but Simon has lots of other options HERE to recreate it! Finally I die cut and coloured the mushrooms and used a white gel pen to add dots. The “greenery” is from the Tim Holtz Vault Festive Wreath die set

Don’t forget for this week only there is a $50 gift voucher up for grabs to spend over at the  Simon Says Stamp Store

So now it’s YOUR turn, Happy Crafting
