I Believe I Can Fly

Yes, we are flying high with the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge this week! The theme is Things That Fly and the design team is featuring American Crafts products this week. You don't have to use them to play along, but we would love to see what you do with them if you have some on hand!

I pulled out the Shimelle 6x6 paper pad along with the new Tim Holtz birds, with which I may or may not be slightly obsessed, to create a fun encouragement card for today!



I used the Simon Says Stamp curved die to die cut my paper to create a 'wire' of sorts for my bird to stand on. I then pulled the sentiment from the Mama Elephant Up and Away stamp set. I colored the bird using various greens and yellows from Spectrum Noir. I just love how he turned out! I did add a touch of an icy blue to his eyes, as well.



I added a few little Simon Exclusive heart sequins from Pretty Pink Posh for a bit of shine.

Now it's YOUR turn! Create something based on the Things That Fly challenge and link it up over on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge blog for your chance to win a $50 Voucher to the Simon Says Stamp Store! WHAT?! You guys, for REALS! It's pretty awesome!
