I'm back with one last card for my month of guest designing for the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog.
This week, the challenge is Anything Goes, and the design team are all using products from Martha Stewart. I love her new, Holly Craft Punch and her Brights Glitter, so I decided to combine the two on my card.
I punched out the holly three times from some double sided, adhesive sheets, then sprinkled on some green glitter and burnished each one. I thought it would be fun to adhere the holly in the shape of a flower, placing them inside the negative space from a die-cut, Spellbinders circle. It's difficult to see, but I also used Martha's Scoring Board. There are five scored lines running down the entire card from top to bottom. The sentiment is from a Hero Arts clear set called, Holiday Sayings.
I hope you'll play along this week! As always, the prize is a generous $50.00 gift voucher to the Simon Says Stamp Store!
You have until Wednesday, December 5th, 8am Ohio time, 1pm UK time, 2 pm CET to join in!

Hello Barb
Over the past month I have had the pleasure of witnessing your pure Joy at being part of Simon Says as their Guest Designer, they should be very pleased with how you have delivered to them such lovely inspirational cards each week; not only for their followers, but yours as well. You have delighted me with a cornucopia of designs and colour palettes that have been so pleasing on the eyes, I have not commented every week, as I wanted to congratulate you and save up my one master comment for you here; your last post for them as their Guest Designer, we say it is a last post but who knows Barb what doors will be opening for you in 2013!!!!!
I hope to continue my following of you and your gorgeous creations and also observe your growth, throughout the following year.
I also want to take this opportunity to thank you for your wonderful support of me and my work since the very beginning.
As my craft/art continues to take me in directions I never dreamed of, it is through wonderful virtual friendships such as yours Barb, that I have been able to obtain the confidence to explore my creativity, to reach my potential and then some, but still able to retain my desire and ebullience to strive for improvement in my design and originality of my work, and like yourself share the work in the event that it may inspire someone.
I thank you for all of this.
Smiles:)
