Hello, hello! I'm popping in to share a card that I made for a few challenges: Freshly Made Sketches (two weeks in a row... yay me, lol!), Just Us Girls (stencil week) and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge (anything goes). Let's look at what I made.
I hadn't bought a Simon Says Stamp card kit in several years and decided to purchase the one for May, 2026. I was intrigued by the stamp set Long Stem Florals and the stencil that went with the stamp set so decided to save up my money and get the kit. I was disappointed that by the time I got the kit it didn't include the Simple Stories Simple Vintage Junk Drawer papers, but some very unattractive Tim Holtz papers. One of the patterns actually looks like a cross section of a lung dyed blue! Yuck! Anyway, I have lots of Simple Stories papers that will works so all is well. Anyway, as you can see, I used the stamp set and stencils, but no patterned paper. I also used the smallest tag from the die set included in the kit. I had intended on participating in the most recent Color Hues challenge, but knew I wouldn't have it done by the time the challenge closed. But I liked the color combo so much (violet and lime green) that I decided to use it anyway. I thought the stamped and stenciled floral image, as well as the little tag were perfect for Cecile's super cool FMS sketch. I went with vellum for the tag so you can still see some of the stem underneath. The sentiment was heat embossed. I finished with the white twine and some iridescent sequins.
Well, that's it for me. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
