Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Watercolor

We're having another fun challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog. This week, we'd like to see you use watercolors in your project.


For this challenge, I made a set of Watercolor Christmas tags. The Holidays will be here soon and I like to use handmade tags on my gifts. The long, pointy hats were a challenge to work with, so I chose to use a bookmark die for the tags instead of the traditional tag die.

The watercolor wash background was a simple and easy technique. At our house, the tags must be easy because Santa has a pretty long list!


What will you do with watercolors? Link your project to the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge and you could receive a $50 gift voucher to Simon Says Stamp. We draw a new winner each week. Your project could be chosen for our designer spotlight!

    Oh Michelle! I just have to smile because I am always envious of the supplies you use and the clever ways you think of to bring them to life. I have pondered buying these stamps at least 100 times, but I couldn't think of just the right way to use them. And then I see these tags and think, "Yep! That's how it's done!" Kudos to another inspiring piece. Love the colors, too, and especially the clouds!
