Happy Wednesday bloggy friends! It's time for another challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog! This time we are celebrating Spring! It's all about either Rain or Flowers! Or you can make a card with both! :) Just have fun and let the creative spark take over!!
This week the Simon Says DT are showcasing products by Hero Arts! I chose this fun stamp set called Layered Flowers. I stamped the medium flower that comes in the set, 3 x's. I then cut all 3 out, colored them in with soft pastel Chalks and some Copics and then I added some Chunky Glitter and a Hero Arts Medium Accent Pearl to the center flower. I then crumpled them up a bit in my hand and then opened them back up a bit to give them a weathered look. I then matched them up and adhered them together.
I also used some papers by Authentique from the 6x6 Grace Paper Pad. The dies are Stately Circles Nestabilities by Spellbinders.
And don't forget, the super sweet and generous Heidi will give the random winner of this challenge a $50 Credit Voucher to the Simon Says Stamp Superstore! Good luck everyone!
Before I go, just want to say that my heart goes out to the family of an adorable 6 year old boy who was shot accidentally by his 4 year old friend on Monday night. My heart goes out to both families actually. This cute little boy passed away yesterday afternoon. This happened right around the corner from my house. The entire neighborhood is just devastated. Things like that don't happen here nor should it happen anywhere! I'm sure that family did not want this to happen but they should be held accountable. No child should have access to a gun! Both families are now changed forever. So very sad! Please say a prayer for both of these families! And give your children a big hug and kiss, no matter what their ages are!!
