Sentimental Focus

 


I have been invited to be in the Designer Spotlight on the  Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge.   I am so glad it was this month too - STAMPtember - as I love stamping.

This week the challenge is Sentiment as the Focus!  We'll show you ours so you can show us yours.

As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $25 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store

The sentiment is the focus and this is a bold one - Simon Says Stamp "XL Stacked Greetings", stamped on a bold orange colour with inked edges.  The background is Simon Says Stamp "Fresh Fruit" stamped in light green DIstress Ink on lemon coloured textured card. One fruit is coloured with blended Distress Ink, doodled and tied to the sentiment banner with a bow die from Tim Holtz "Funky Floral Wreath".  The border is Tim Holtz "Vault Edges".  Splatter is Distress Oxide Spray Uncharted Mariner.
