Simon Says ,,,,,,, Get In Shape !! :-)


HAPPY HALLOWEEN !!  are you going out trick or treating tonight ,,, or getting dressed up ready to party ?? ,,,  no ,,, me neither :-) 

This week the theme over on the Simon Says Stamp Challenge  is ,,,,,,,,

GET IN SHAPE

Don't panic ,,, nothing too energetic ,,, just no square cards this week :-)

As always Heidi will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store!
 

A few weeks ago Sarah made THIS hexagon card for the ‘Trendy’ challenge which I LOVED so I thought I would CASE her idea :-)

I made an easel card using Spellbinders Hexagon dies and products from the Simon Says Stamp November Card Kit. I loved the little birds on this paper and used that as the starting point. 


I used a Simon Says Stamp Exclusives Small Forest Tree die to cut out some shimmery card, I had mopped up the excess Lindy’s Stamp Gang Tawny Turquoise spray from a previous project and used it :-) I popped a cute little Studio Calico Wood Veneer Bird, adding a little eye with black Enamel Accents.

For my card I used this gorgeous Starry Night image from the Wild Rose Studio :-)




Is it cheating to use an Xmas Bella printed panel ? :-)  I love these,, when you’re pushed for time you can make a quick and easy card in minutes ! The papers are from an  Xmas Bella pack too. I added a couple of Memory Box stars and a few hearts die cut using a Holiday Shapes die, and some ribbons and a LOTV sentiment to finish :-)


Thanks for looking :-) the DT have made some gorgeous cards so hop on over to the ABC Xmas Challenge to see them :-)
