great discount and a card

photo

Hello…hello Friends, I hope this post finds you happy and enjoying some beautiful spring weather in your neck of the woods.

Simon Says Stamp recently hosted an amazing sold out event called “Simon Says Create” If you missed the event you can take advantage of this 20% off discount code! Use Code “Twenty” to get the discount on your order for a limited time. 

I was incredibly lucky to be invited to share my love of coloring through demonstrations in the Simon store at the event. So much fun to meet so many happy crafters… such beautiful people.  After coloring the “Summer Garden” flower with only 2 Copic markers I gave it a wash of color with an orange distress marker & this. I promise to do a quick video showing you the technique next week. Now is a good time to get the essentials like a dove blender, wink of stella and a white gel pen with the discount. Here is another card using the same stamp set. Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by. Hugs, Kathy
