Hello sweet bloggy pals! I overcame a fear/phobia yesterday and decided to try something I've always wanted to try…but was too chicken to do! I made and entered a card into the Gallery Idol 2014 Contest! Yes, me, who is totally afraid to submit her cards to magazines… I did it! Wish me luck!
Today I'm sharing the card I entered for Gallery Idol, which also was made with the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge in mind. Two birds. One stone. (One card)
I am possibly a little obsessed with cute cloud stamps and dies right now. That's okay, right? LOL. Here is my HAPPY HAPPY card!
The Gallery Idol Round One challenge is washi tape! And, the Simon Says Stamp Challenge this week is "Die Crazy." So I used a pretty Simon Says Stamp exclusive die (Heart Rainfall) and some fun washis…
Here is how I made my card…. First I cut out my die from wood grain paper and set that aside. Then I used rows of washi tape (the polka dots are from Doodlebug and I don't know where the red one is from) to line up with my die cut.
It took me a while to decide which washi to use….cuz I have about a BAZILLION rolls of it!! I decided to go with the rainbow look….
After I mounted my lower layer to the top piece I stamped a sentiment onto some vellum. The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink and I used Stayzon ink on the vellum for a nice crisp image. Then I added a couple of small strips of tape to finish it off.
Wish me luck with Gallery Idol! There are soooo many amaaaaazing entries! The first round winners get announced on the 23rd of this month. Doing this put me out of my comfort zone and I'm proud of myself for even giving it a try. Have a marvelous day my friends!! XOXO

Good luck with Gallery Idol. You’re always a winner in my book. I love your card with its happy washi tape. I’m not sure this computer is up to the task of posting comments.
YEAH!! CONGRATS to YOU Wanda!! =) I LOVE this SWEET Card!! I too decided at the LAST Minute to enter a Card!! =)I ALWAYS FEEL not worthy, if you know what I mean!!?? So I have a Hard time putting myself out there!! It’s pretty intimidating too when you see all of the Designers that get Published ALL the time entering the same contest thinking that something I’ve made is REALLY gonna get picked over something that they have made!!?? Oh Well if you NEVER try you’ll NEVER KNOW (right)!!?? So GOOD LUCK to you too and have a FABULOUS WEEK!! =)
This is so cute! It totally popped out of the SSS feed. Great job.
OMGoodness! Uh-dorable, Wanda! Absolutely uhdorable!!!
Delightful card, Wanda! Love your use of washi. And I’m the same with the submission phobia (I did submit one card too – first time!).
