Up in the Clouds

This week, we are featuring clouds for the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Are your feeling the gloom from gray, cloudy days, or feeling positive with your head in the clouds?

I've had a rough start to the year, but I'm still feeling positive. This week, my card was created with some of my favorite supplies. I created my own papers with watercolors!
The clouds were die cut from a sheet of striped watercolor blues.
My background was created with a splashy watercolor wash which I then stamped over.

So simple to do, and so much fun!

What will you create for your cloudy project? Link your work to the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog and your project could win a $50 gift voucher to Simon Says Stamp.  We draw a new winner each week. Your project could also be chosen to be featured in our weekly designer spotlight.

    So many beautiful projects... I didn't know where to start, but I simply adore this watercolor stunner! It reminds me so much of the style of one of my favorite children's book illustrators. And that sentiment is perfection.

    Love, love, love this, Michelle! You always have such clever details and every time I see one of your projects, I want to steal both your ideas and copycat your product lists! You truly are inspiring! I really love how you arranged the watercolors and I thought the gems on the clouds were nothing short of brilliant!
