Did you know that you can subscribe to Simon Says Stamp’s monthly card kits for just $19.95 plus S&H every month!? The kits are an incredible value! You'll want to be quick if you aren't a subscriber because the card kits have been selling out!
Here's the card I made for today's hop:
I love how perfectly the little nested circles stamp fit inside the white dots of the patterned paper. I thought the happy colors from the inks and watercolor pencils worked well with the sentiment and contrasted the black/white/grey well. I added a little Wink of Stella clear glitter marker to the word 'happy' to really make it pop. It also helped blend the pencil strokes.
GIVEAWAYS!!!
Simon Says Stamp is giving away a goody bag at every stop on the hop! That's ten chances to win!
