Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Thank you for joining us for the Back To School Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.

This week we would like you to join us in celebrating our 12th Birthday!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 

Can you believe that this challenge has been going for 12 years!! The time has flown by hasn’t it! We would like to say a huge thank you to all of our fellow crafters who have joined us over the years and we hope you will continue to join us!

As it’s the first Monday of the month we are showcasing a brand/company. This week we are all using some fabulous products from the fabulous Dina Wakley. You don’t have to use them to join in with the challenge but if you have them we would love to see them used.

For my card this week, I created a monoprint stenciled background using Dina’s Connected Dots stencil and Gloss Sprays over a piece of Typed Media Ledgers.  Once the background was dry, I stenciled over it with the Pieces stencil and some white paint to add more texture. I added a focal image of the girl from the Make Things Happen set and colored her with Scribble Sticks and water. To complete the card, I gave her a hat sprayed with Ancient gloss spray onto a paper bag and added a pom pom and finally finished the card with a sentiment from the Be Bold set. 
 

As it’s our birthday he lovely folks over at Simon Says Stamp have generously increased the prize this week to a FABULOUS $50 voucher to shop at the  Simon Says Stamp Store! All you have to do is take out your crafty supplies, make something following this week’s prompt, and add a link in the Inlinkz at the bottom of this post!
