Are you ready to go dancin'? Can you do the 2-step? Today's Stamp Simply challenge is to go Dancin' with Dee and do the 2-step (or 3-step, 4-step, 5-step....) Pull out your 2-step stamp sets (or in the case of some sets from Kitchen Sink Stamps, you can even 5-step!) There are some other specifics to this challenge, as well as some alternate options if you don't have any multi-step stamps, so check out all the details on Sharon's blog, along with her beautiful sample!
For my card this week, I chose to again use those beautiful Kitchen Sink 3-Step Butterfly stamps! Are you getting tired of seeing them? I hope not! And I actually found this piece of Daisy D's paper in my scrap stash, already stitched to the red cardstock, so I decided to take advantage and used it. Talk about simple! This card is actually already in the mail this morning and on it's way to my Mom!
The Stamp Simply Team members were hard at work this week creating cards inspired by Dee's beautiful work, and you can see all their samples by clicking the links to their blogs below.
