Guess what. I'm the guest designer for the Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge all this month! I'm SO excited!!
The first challenge of the month is to Make Your Own Background. They are also showcasing Darkroom Door products too. I made this card:
I started by blending blue, yellow and green Distress Crayons on white cardstock. Then I placed the Tim Holtz Rays stencil on top and rubbed a baby wipe thru the design removing the crayon so the rays showed. To give it a bit more definition, I outlined the rays with a gray distress crayon and blended it. Then I stamped the Darkroom Door Happy stamp with Stazon ink and inked the edges with Vintage Photo distress ink. For an embellishment, I strung small black beads on black twine and stapled it on with my tiny attacher. Then my panel was mounted on SSS cardstock.

Simon Says Stamp!
What an honor to have you be a Guest Designer here! And WOW- what a stunner of a piece! I am loving, loving, TRIPLE LOVING how you did the rays and made them blend into such interesting colors. It reminds me of the perfect sky and it's a fabulous sentiment. And those staples!! I have a negative staple memory from junior high when I had a hole in my sock and tried to staple it shut, but your stapling made me HAPPY! What great inspiring ideas here and I can't wait to see what else you come up with!
