Happy 16th Birthday to Simon Says Stamp! To honor that impressive milestone, "Happy Birthday" is this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge theme. We're also featuring products from Paper Artsy. Seth Apter and Kate Crane, both of whom I really like, have designed stamp sets for Paper Artsy. I've used some of their stamps on my birthday tag.
I added paint and patterned paper to the circles and did some additional stamping (the small dots are from Seth's EM124 set). Before long, my tag looked like this:
I chose one of Kate Crane's stamps (KCM 023) for the focal point and colored the image with Distress Watercolor Pencils.
I added her to the front of the tag and then did some more scribbling, stamping, and painting around. I stamped the sentiment, cut it out, and glued it to the bottom. Since we are celebrating Simon's 16th year, I stamped a "16" on a piece of paper, cut it, and added it to my girl. Happy Birthday, Simon!
