My Cards and Tags: Inspired by a Song

http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/mondaychallenge/
Music is a constant part of my life, so I was ecstatic about this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge theme, which is "Inspired by a Song."  I made some cards using lyrics from some of my favorite singers, The Avett Brothers and Ben Harper.


I found these fun paper kid images in my stash which I decided to use for my characters. I made the background of this card with C'est La Vie paper that I cut out with a project Life 4"x6" die.  I added some oomph with a Darkroom Door polka dot stamp and some die-cut Circle Loops from Simon Says Stamp.  The sentiment is spelled out with Hero Arts Alphabet stamps and I threw on some Doodlebug Sprinkle dots to represent bubbles.


On this card, I used Simon's One With Nature stamp set to create the trees and made the scallop at the top with Simon's Tiny Alphabet stamp and Stencil Girl's Scalloped Edges stencil.  The lemon is from Bo Bunny's Calendar Girl paper and the card base itself is a Project Life card from the Odds and Ends set.


Here are the supplies I used on these cards that you can find at Simon Says Stamp:




With such a fantastically inspiring theme, I'm excited to see what YOU come up with!  Be sure to upload your masterpieces to the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog for your chance to win a $50 voucher to the Simon Says Stamp store!
