Simon Says Stamp Challenge

I can't believe my Designer in the Spotlight month at Simon Says Stamp is over already. I've had fun challenging myself to do different things and use new products. I'm also very grateful to have had this opportunity; sending my thanks to all the wonderful people at Simon Says Stamp, their talented design team members and especially Joy, Lorraine and Heidi. I've had a blast!



Now on to the card.....



I wanted to combine beachy with a subway sign style. I wanted the blue background to look like weathered white-washed beadboard. I purposely left it a bit "undone" to have that rustic beach cottage look. I love this fun stamp set by Studio Calico for Hero Arts. It's so simple and sweet, a bit 60s retro and so charming.

Now don't forget to visit the Simon Says Stamp Challenge blog to see all the Studio Calico wonderful-ness from the design team. Join in the fun for your chance to win.



~ Daniel 2:20-21 ~

 "Praise the name of God forever and ever,
for He has all wisdom and power.
He controls the course of world events;
He removes kings and sets up other kings.
He gives wisdom to the wise
and knowledge to the scholars."

blessings,
