Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge
This week the challenge is
SUMMER GARDEN
Summer is a wonderful season to enjoy your garden, the weather is warm enough to sit outside and relax, invite friends over for barbecues and enjoy picnics on the grass. We can't wait to see what creations you make for this challenge!
This week we are showcasing products from Paper Artsy, if you have them we would love to see them used but you don't have to use them to join in with the challenge.
As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store
The lovely and super talented Alison Bomber aka Words And Pictures is joining us in the Designer Spotlight this month. If you haven't seen her blog you are in for a real treat! Please pop by to say 'Hi' and leave her a lovely comment
I used a lovely Eclectica 3 Stamp Set designed by Kim Dellow
Summer is my favorite month, even though it can get unbearably hot there is always the cool pool or mediterranean sea to jump into. I used the rubble wall die from a Mixed Media 3 set to create a rocky area and then popped the cute little hedgehogs in the shade of the trees to protect them from the blazing sun. I inked the background with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink and then stamped the little circles with Aquamarine Archival Ink before using a Dot Fade Stencil and White Embossing Paste over the top.
This does look a lot like my garden, I have a stone wall, a turquoise pool and some lemon and orange trees! I think I recreated it quite well haha :-)

Fab card Lols... great sentiment too!
This is so cute, Lols! I love those stamps and the sentiment is perfect. I love the combination of blue and yellow together too, it's one of my favorites.

I love your stone crazy paving (don't know if you call it that in the States but you're in the UK right now, so you'll have to deal with it!), and the hedgehogs are just adorable - I hadn't even noticed them before in the set. Very cool funky summer garden. I'm so happy and honoured to be guesting alongside the fabulous SSS team - thank you for having me!
