Simon Says Challenge # 1 - Green and Yellow

So here I am going nude again so to speak, lol! What I mean is I've made another card leaving quite a bit of white showing and I'm pleased with how it turned out! The weirdest things inspire you sometimes, don't they? Every afternoon, when I've picked up the kids from school, I stop at some lights and stare into the window of a lovely little delicatessan shop. As well as a range of food and drinks, they also sell things for the home and in the window I've seen a beautiful metal heart with leaves wound around it. So my mind's been wondering as it does and the idea for the leafy heart on my card was born yesterday! I think you could do something similar with lots of other shapes too, so I might rework this idea in the future.



I made my card for the brand new Simon Says Challenge run by Simon Says Stamp - an online company in The States which I think many of you will be familiar with. The brief this week is to make a card using green and yellow, which is a winning combination for Spring in my book. I hope you can visit the challenge and you're sure to see some wonderful creations by the Design Team. All they ask is that you use a stamp from one of the ranges they sell. Now I know they sell Magnolias but I realised after I made my card that they probably don't stock this Tilda because she's from the Stampclub set. Oh well, I'm sure it'll be okay as she still belongs to Magnolia! I must add that I pinched an idea from the lovely Judy after seeing her card for Colour Create this week - adding the liquid pearl dots to Tilda's dress!
