A Cameo Appearance

Just for your information…my desk is a scrap-disaster!  (But I will promptly clean it up as soon as I finish this post.)  All is not in vain, I have produced something elegant and pretty.  I even put flowers on my card.  (I rarely use flowers anymore, but I do love them.)  Today's card inspiration came while I was looking at my friend's blog (YT:  scrapology) and came across a Simon Says Wednesday challenge.  I didn't even know they had challenges at Simon Says!  And big ones - you can win a $50 gift certificate!  How cool is that?  Anyways, I discovered they also had Monday challenges, in addition  to the Wednesday one, so that is what this one is for.

The theme this week was A Cameo Appearance and was totally open for interpretation.  So I am not thinking outside of the box, but I am using my scrap supplies…because what better excuse to use my PTI Simply Jane die collection and stamp set?  I *simply* love this and it has a lot of different ways you can use it.  The frame die is a beautiful shape and I love adding pearls to the the lady. 

My flowers are from Wild Orchid for a bit of complimentary colour.  

On the outside, I choose not to stamp a message (putting it on the inside instead).  I stamped a simple flower on a Tiny Tag and tied it with some Pink Paislee twine (not my fav because of the thinness, but the colour works).  

 I really liked this sentiment, which I have chosen to include inside my card.  

And one more look from the front:  

I also made this card with the Color Throwdown #280 in mind.  The colour's this week were light blue, vanilla, olive, and navy.  :)  

There's still time to check out the Wednesday challenge and enter to win a $50 gift certificate.  Thanks for the opportunity to get creative and use my stuff!
