Welcome to the fourth Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge in April! This week’s challenge is Keep It Clean and Simple which means you need to keep layers to a minimum and show some “white space”. The design team is featuring Hero Arts products. You don’t have to use it but we’d love to see some if you have it.

I made a shaped birthday card for my nephew in Colorado. I used the Hero Arts U.S. Map Background and fussy cut around it after heat embossing Colorado State with leaf embossing powder and the rest of the country with wave embossing powder. I used an aqua brush and Neon Chartreuse ink to highlight Colorado State and added a die cut foil star. I masked a cat face from Nine Lives by Paper Smooches for the centre of the star and I created a custom sentiment using Hero Arts Lisa’s Mix & Match Sentiments and It’s Your Day.
