Simon Says Stamp is celebrating their 5th year of challenges, so the challenge was to do a Birthday card. I only discovered SSS last summer, but I am a fan of their products, so I thought I use some things I bought from there and some of their signature stamps.
I was in an orange mood when I made this. ( Don't worry Cheryl, I'll not send it to you!) I used the SSS Best Mom Ever stamp set for the roses and leaves, and the sentiment is from the SSS Sketchy Banner Greetings. The kraft card stock is Neenah Desert Storm and I used a Prima stencil with molding paste. I coloured the roses with TH Distress inks in Ripe Persimmon and Picked Raspberry mixed with Shimmer spritz. The leaves I coloured with TH Mowed Lawn and Dylusions Dirty Martini. This is a simple card that shouldn't cost me extra to mail. :D

I was wondering how you did the cool pattern on the background! That is so neat!
ReplyDeleteThis would be perfect to mail...and receive. :)
I love the molding paste. You did a great job with this card. Very pretty! And thank you so much for the sweet comment you left on the Simon blog about my tutorial. It made my day! You do lovely work! I'm now your latest follower:)
ReplyDeleteAs if the fact that I hate orange would stop you from sending this card to me. I remember all the things you sent when I said I din't like cows!
ReplyDeleteHowever, me not liking orange doesn't change the fact that this is a lovely card.
OMGosh, I am in love with what you did with the molding paste, Shona! The card is beautiful! Want to remember to invite you to the blog hop Monday to inspire people to send cards to a little girl who is receiving chemo for Leukemia. Lots of prizes and blog candy along the way. Hope you can come! Hugs,
ReplyDeleteOhhhh.... That paste Looks Awesome!!!!!! and although I am a fan of orange but you made it look amazing. It seems that a lot of people don't like it. :) The design for the card is just perfect. Not too much not too little ... just perfect. You do such an awesome work
