Man, I am BAD at this. It's not that I have not done any other submissions to the Simon Says Stamp Blog (or any other, but that is the one I am most likely to submit to), but a lot of them have just been on Instagram. I'm going to try to post these to Instagram as well, but I am trying to be more descriptive, and these were part of a project at church.
For the last three years, our church has made Easter and Christmas cards for the people at the care facility, Weiser Cascadia Care Home. This year 6 people from St. Luke's Episcopal church made 48 cards in one morning. We wanted to make certain that whether or not they had family, every resident knew that someone was thinking of them on Easter. These are a few of the cards I made. The prompt for Simon Says Stamps Monday Challenge this week was "sweet treats". Though carrots are a vegetable, anyone who has ever had carrot cake knows that carrots are sweet, and it gives me a chance to show off these cards. I also happen to remember beinng absolutely addicted to Cadbury Eggs as a child, though I can't abide them at this point in my life. Somehow they're just too sweet and have no flavor other than sweet, but I remember the yellow and white parts of the fondant interior had distinct flavors.
I am in love with the "Big Pickup" stamps from Honeybee Stamps. The truck is lovely whether you pick the front or back view, and they sell a variety of stamps to help accessorize the truck. The carrots and eggs and bunny are all from the "loads of spring" add-on set. They were all colored with alcohol markers, but I use everything from Copic, Ohuhu and Olo, so I can't really tell you what colors I used.
The bottom wood grain is actually a stamp from Taylored Expressions. It is called "Shiplap background stamp, and that's one of my favorite basic backgrounds as red rubber stamps. The Happy Easter is from Simon Says Stamps Hoppy Easter.
