Time for a new challenge at Time Out. The theme for Challenge 117 is "Toes in the sand, wine in our hands. Life is good today. Let us be grateful for what makes us happy.".
You have until September 12th at 5:00 PM BST to enter.

Challenge winner gets an in-stock stamp set of their choice.
For my card, I did a watercolor wash that resembles sand, sea and sky as my background. I applied white spatters that put me in mind of sea foam. The sentiment is all about gratitude as you awake each day and you are challenged to appreciate what you have, and to make the best of what lies ahead. I just LOVE this sentiment and to me, it fits perfectly with our challenge words.

ReplyDeleteWe have to stop calling each other before we make our cards lol! Seriously, I can't believe we both made sand and sea cards this week - even though they are quite different. I love your soft background - so perfect with that wonderful sentiment! Great card :)
ReplyDeleteI love the background you created for your clean and simple card! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteI'd love for you to link this up to the Cropstop blog where it's always "Anything Goes" as long as you use a product or two from one of the companies they carry in the store. (You did!)

Ah-ha!! I have this exact same stamp, so I absolutely loved seeing how beautifully you displayed it! We must be Stamp Soul Sisters (ha, ha). I really do adore the soft ombre blending that you did and how it pairs with that wonky stitched border. It is elegant and hopeful and happy and I'm so glad you shared it with us for this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!
