Happy Birthday to Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenges (and Happy Birthday is also this week's theme)! We are celebrating 12 years of Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenges and that is a wonderful milestone. These challenges have inspired me and have helped me to push through and keep trying to create even when I haven't felt inspired, so I'm very grateful for them. We are also featuring one of my favorite designers: Dina Wakley. You do not have to ask me twice to whip out my Dina supplies!
While that dried, I smeared some paint onto a piece of white cardstock and used a small circle punch to punch circles out of it-- kind of like colorful Swiss cheese. I tore it into a strip and glued it to the bottom of my card.
Next I tore off some strips of Dina's ledger paper and glued them to the top of my card. I stamped some letters from Dina's Alpha Blocks stamp set that spelled out "you" and glued them onto the background. Then, using another piece of ledger paper, I stamped the sentiment, "Let's celebrate your existence", from Simon Says Stamp's Time to Party stamp set. I cut around it and glued that on as the final piece.
