The Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge is celebrating it's sweet 16th birthday this week! So I hope you love the festive project I have made for this special occasion.  
I will list all the steps I did to create this card. First, I began with an A2 size card base made from smooth white cardstock. I then added a quarter sheet of white cardstock to a craft tacky mat to hold in in place white I used the Argyle Builder stencil set to create the background. 
I used a blender brush and Distress inks for each layer. The last layer I used texture paste to create the white dotted line pattern. I set that aside to dry while I die cut the flowers and the stems from more white cardstock. I added them to the craft tacky mat again to hold them in place white I colored them with more distress ink and with a blender brush and a finger dauber.
The last element I created for this card was the sentiment. I die cut the sentiment and shadow from white cardstock. I ink blended the shadow in a coordinating ink from the background. I then die cut the sentiment 3 times and glued them together for thickness. I took the background and trimmed it down to leave a bit of a white border and added it to the cardbase along with the flowers, stems and sentiment. I finished off this card with a few clear sequins.

I'm so happy to be sharing inspiration for the STAMPtember blog party! Happy 15th anniversary!! Check out this exclusive promotion for stopping by today!!👇👇 I have created a couple of projects to share using some of the amazing goodies from the new Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember release. I created this card with an A2 card base made from smooth white cardstock. I then trimmed down a panel of Yupo paper to create an autumnal background using alcohol inks. When it was dry I trimmed it down to fit the card base leaving a bit of a white border. I then die cut a frame from white cardstock and added to the card with liquid glue. I then die cut the new Fancy Just Because die from more white cardstock. The butterflies were cut from matte gold cardstock using the new Ooh La La Butterflies die and adhered with a glue dot in the middle so their wings could pop up.

I'm so happy to be sharing inspiration for the Simon Says Stamp DieCember blog party! Be sure to take advantage of the  exclusive promotion for this blog party👇👇  I'm one of those rare people that begins to decorate for Christmas until after Thanksgiving. Using the new Ornate Star die I created ornaments for my little flocked Christmas tree. I feel like I could make a dozen of these easily! I die cut the Ornate Star die once from gold cardstock and once from silver cardstock. I then glued the die cut stars on to silver and gold glitter paper. I weighted it with a large acrylic block to help the stars adhered firmly to the glitter cardstock. When the adhesive was dry I used a craft knife to cut out the stars from the glitter cardstock. I then die cut the Merry Christmas sentiment from red metallic cardstock and white cardstock and adhered together for thickness and glued them carefully to the stars as to not have a glob of glue mess up the shine of the metallic cardstock. I...
