Super Simple Card for W&W's Share the Love Week Challenges

I'm back to share another simple card in my marathon of Winnie & Walter Share the Love Week featuring Simon Says Stamp Challenges.  This is the second one from my "slump" period that I talked about in the previous post.  I created this super simple one layer card in just over 6 minutes.  Not a lot going on here and the sentiment may look strange, but it is something I would did say, and since I'm sending it as a thank you for some gifts we recently received, it works for me.   I'm linking this one up to Winnie &Walter's One Layer Challenge,  10 Minute Dash Challenge, and their Just One Stamp Set Challenge (the little dots are from Simon Says Stamp's Petal Pieces and the sentiment is from Winnie & Walter's The Big, the Bold, and the Happy).
Supplies
Stamps: Simon Says Stamp (Petal Pieces), Winnie & Walter (The Big, the Bold, and the Happy)
Ink: PTI (Berry Sorbet, Pure Poppy, True Black), SSS (Fog)

W&W + SSS Watercolor Rainbow

These next couple cards were a little bit in my "slump" period.  They are fine...there are things I like, but you know when a card just seems incomplete?  That's how I feel about these.  I finished this one super quick in 5 minutes, but honestly it took much less time to create, but at 5 minutes I realized I didn't know what else to do to it, so I just let it go.  My happiest moment was that when I watercolored it, I just free handed a circle with water first, so when I added the color it only bled to fill in the circle and basically nothing else.  I could see that coming in handy later.  I think this same concept would be fun for a moon on a Halloween card.  Maybe I'll try that later.  I'm linking this card up to Winnie &Walter's Rainbow Color Palate ChallengeJust One Stamp Set Challenge (I used one stamp from each company), and their 10 Minute Dash Challenge.

Winnie & Walter + Simon Says Stamp....the marathon continues

Hello, again!  I'm about half way through sharing my cards now.  I'm linking this one up to Winnie & Walter's Share the Love Just One Stamp Set Challenge. I used one stamp set from each company.  W&W's The Big, the Bold, and the Happy and Simon Says Stamp's Petal Pieces.  I also made this for Simon Says...STAMPtember Stamp-It Challenge, Winnie & Walter's One Layer Challenge, and Winnie & Walter's 10 Minute Dash Challenge.  I finished in 9 minutes 58 seconds.  I would have liked to have done a tad more stamping, but that would have taken me over the time limit.  I think my friend will still enjoy it as is, though.
Supplies
Stamps: SSS (Petal Pieces), W&W(The Big, the Bold, and the Happy)

Winnie & Walter + Simon Says Continues...

Back again...as promised.  Remember the teeny tiny hexagons I used in the last card?  Well, after I punched them out I couldn't bring myself to through away this strip, so I used it to make a super simple card that I kind of love.  I'm linking this one up to the following challenges:

Winnie & Walter + Simon Says Stamp....let the posts begin

 
Hello!  I love when back to school supplies are in the stores.  I love them even more when they start to go on clearance.  We've been needing to replace my son's watercolors and have been watching for a super good deal.  We saw one this last week.  Yay!  After he and I played around a bit, I wished I'd bought some for myself. :) I used one of my watercolor "doodles" for this card.  I'm linking it up to Winnie & Walter's Share the Love Week featuring: Simon Says Stamp Rainbow Color Palate Challenge and their Just One Stamp Set Challenge.  I used W&W's The Big, the Bold, Bold, and the Happy stamp set and Simon Says Stamp's Hexagon Border Die.  See those teeny tiny hexagons?  Those were the negatives from the die.  I'm also linking this up to the Simon Says...STAMPtember Stamp-It Challenge.
I have a whole slew of cards I've been working on the last few days for these two companies' challenges, and I'm finally getting the chance to share.  Hold on...there are going to be a lot of posts today.
