Here is a card for two challenges:
Simon Says Stamp is three years old!!
And, Hero Arts has birthdays as one of its themes for the month.
The Hero Arts classic tea flower is so pretty no matter how it is used. Here I decided to just stamp it with Versafine onyx black ink on patterned paper. The sentiment is from the Hero Arts Find Joy clear set. I used Ranger black enamel accents for the center of the flower and the dots on the Martha Stewart butterfly punch. The paper strip at the bottom is accented with tiny black gems from Bo Bunny.
Enjoy your day!
Simon Says Stamp has two challenge blogs - one challenge is more mainstream and one is vintage. This week on SIMON SAYS STAMP AND SHOW the challenge is "anything goes". As you probably know, when either challenge blog has this theme, there are SCADS of entries.
But, it is always worth a try and I wanted to use some new BoBunny decaf vintage double dot paper that my friend, Lin, picked up for me while she was in Florida. Here is my card:
The sentiment was stamped with walnut stain distress ink on a reverse section of this paper and then diecut. The doily die cut that is peeking out from behind the labels shape was given to me by another friend, Carol. The hydrangea was stamped on the dotted side of the paper and a white Prismacolor pencil was used to add some white touches here and there. A Martha Stewart punched border and some Hero Arts lace were adhered and then I sparkled it all up with some Platinum Stickles (my favorite). The champagne colored gems are from BoBunny, too.
Thanks, Lin and Carol, for enabling and inspiring me to make this card!

Anita Rex is hostessing a fall card exchange on the Hero Arts Flickr group. Here is the card I am sending out:
The flower is Hero Arts Classic Bloom. I colored it with distress inks and added some Stickles to the center. (cinnamon - love this color of glitter!!) The sentiment is from A Muse. The border punch is Martha Stewart and the patterned paper is from BoBunny.
Sorry for the poor scan of this card! I won't post this on Flickr until I know my recipient got it. Hope she likes it.
Happy Wednesday to you!
