Emboss Resist Ink Blended Floral Card Using Spring Flowers
Hi readers! Happy Tuesday! Please welcome back the talented and fun Laura Bassen to our blog! In case you missed it, we had a NEW Simon Says Stamp Exclusive collection released last week called, Reason to Smile! It’s full of FRESH spring designs including these Spring Flowers and Friendship Blooms stamp sets that Laura used to make this fabulous card! She used our clear embossing powder and then blended on some beautiful spring ink colors. To add a little sparkle she finished the card off with some clear Moonshine sequins!

Be Inspired By A Song
We are happy to welcome our new Monday Challenge Design Team members to the Simon Says Stamp family! We had a fabulous response to the Design Team Call and choosing from such a talented group of artists was VERY difficult but decisions had to be made and we would like you all to join us in welcoming the lucky 4!
Cathie Cowles, Kath Stewart, Marzena Ziuziakowska aka Macarena, and Zoey Emanuela Scarpelli!
We are thrilled that they have agreed to join us and we are all looking forward to seeing what they create in the coming months
The theme this week on the Monday Challenge is ‘Inspired By A Song’. This is one of my favorite challenges as it gives us the opportunity to choose our personal favorite and create something with the song in mind. I created my tag while singing along to the song, all I can say is it was good that no-one was here to hear me *wink*. Just crank up the volume and have fun!
Once you have made your creation just go ahead and upload it into the linky on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge blog! We can’t wait to see what you make!
As always, we’re offering a chance to win a $50 Gift Voucher to Simon Says Stamp! All YOU need to do is join in with the challenge!
Below are four projects created by our new designers that showcase this weeks theme! You can visit the challenge blog to get all the details and see the amazing cards and projects that the design team has created this week. If you click on each designers name, you’ll be taken directly to their blog where you’ll get more details about their project! Be sure to give these talented ladies some comments!
