Simon Says: Summertime Blues!



Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge


This week the challenge is: 

SUMMERTIME BLUES

You might be inspired by shades of blue, Eddie Cochran's famous song, or maybe there is something else you can think of! 

We're showcasing some gorgeous Pinkfresh Studio Products this week. You don't have to use them to join in but if you have some we would love to see them used.

You can join 5 times so you could have 5 chances to win! How AWESOME is that!! All winners are chosen randomly, so everyone has an equal chance to win! Woo Hoo!! Good Luck to everyone! 

I used Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Saturated Inks for the stencilling and added Clear Wink Of Stella onto the blooms to make them shimmer. For the background I used a Tim Holtz Dot Fade Layering Stencil and a script text stamp. I finished with some Cottontail Embellishment Mix Sequins.




So now it's YOUR turn!

Do you use Instagram ?  If so please add  #ssswchallenge so we can see your entries.





You have until Wed  8am Ohio time. 1pm UK time, 2 pm CET to join in
