simon says stamp monday challenge: light up the new year

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Thank you for playing along with us last week in the Party Time challenge and we hope you will join us again this week too :) 

This week our challenge is Light Up the New Year…and what better way as a card maker than to make a card to mail to a friend to light up their day! There is nothing like getting a handmade card in the mail. The design team in using products from Studio Light, and we would love you to use some to if you have them :) 

For this card I used Dina Wakley paints on my Gel Press Plate, then stenciled the flower from the Studio Light Floral Quartet over the background I created. Once the paint was dry, I added some linework around all the petals using a micron pen. Then I added black and white splatter and finished my card with a sentiment from the Tim Holtz Sizzix Bold Text 2 dies.
