Congratulations


Its only right when some new Splash of Color dies arrived from Simon Says Stamp that they need to be used to see how they work and give some ideas to how to use them.
So I got my hands on Wavy scalloped stitches borders and with the Less is More challenge for snippets I raided my scrap bag of matching colours and cut out strips using the lighter one for the smaller scallop and so on.
Of course then it failed to be LIM because I decided to use the leaf stamp from Simon Say Stamp Friendship Butterflies stamp set with Versamark because I wasn't sure if I had all the inkpads to match the cardstock.
To finish I made a Stitched frame with Simon Says Stamp stitched rectangles and finally the new Simon says Stamp Congratulations which I layered three times and all the time I was cutting and fiddlying with double sided tape my brain was saying funky foam, funky foam which I would only have to cut once!

This is wonderful Debby and I love the scalloped stitched curvy borders and beautifully finished with the frame and die cut sentiment. I think the subtle same colour stamping on the snippets is just perfect too. x
