Wooo Hooo ! How exciting is this ?!

As you may have gathered by now, today is the day that we are holding the SIMON SAYS STAMP BLOG HOP ! We are celebrating the first Birthday of Simon Says Stamp Blog and the Design Team Members are all participating in a blog hop to inspire you with so many of the stamps that Simon Says Stamp sells. Have you seen how many stamps Simon Says Stamp sells ? Some of us will be showcasing the Exclusive Simon Says Stamp brand of stamps - there are over 45 fabulous sets to choose from !!

I have used one of these stamps on my card below :

The DP is Daisy Bucket "Magical Moments - Debbie's Dragonflies".

The Magnolia image is Tilda with Flowers from the Chasing Butterflies collection which is available to purchase from Simon Says Stamp. Did you know that Simon Says Stamp now stocks a huge range of Magnolia Stamps and they are being added to day by day ?

The mini flowers are Hero Arts Art flowers which are also available to buy from Simon Says Stamp. I have filled the centres with liquid pearls and guess what ? Yes, you can also buy this from SSS !

I have used a piece of Whitewash Cord'inations which I ran through my Cuttlebug with the swiss dot folder and then sanded.

The ribbon, pearls and ribbon are from my stash.
