Okay I said I wasn't going to do this challenge. I told my husband that I was setting this one out. He laughed at me and told me I would have a card by morning. I love my husband! LOL He knows me so well. So here is my entry for Simon Says Monday Challenge: The Artsy Stamp. Let me be absolutely honest and let you know up front that I'm not artsy. This was hard for me. I started to think about Stained Glass Windows and mosaics. Then I got this idea to paper piece this card. It started out a horrible mess. I had paper everywhere. I had paper in my hair, stuck to the cat, and covering the floor. I think I glued my fingers together twice before the night was over. I almost gave up and threw the card away but I kept at it. I love the little artsy bunny and plant stamp. I don't remember what paper pads I used. I gave up trying to keep track on this card. Also no die cuts here, I hand cut this card. It was just me and a pair of scissors.
Here are the stamps I used:
1. Prima Marketing Inc Item #544959
2. Prima Marketing Inc Item #545086
3. Dylusions: Clearly Doodle Parts
Good Morning! I'm going to bed now that my card is done :-)

I am so glad that you decided to enter the challenge! If not, I would've missed seeing this stunning card and reading your highly entertaining write-up! I always admire people who can create beautiful things AND write up a great post! I had to laugh when I pictured your cat with paper stuck to it! :) And I must disagree with your comment about you not being artsy. This card is bursting with artsy goodness! I really love how you were inspired by stained glass and I love the paper piecing you did. The rabbit repeated and flower images that were repeated three times really make great focal points and I like how you made the blue upper part of the sky with the butterflies--as it they are freely flying! The sentiment is the perfect touch and I love how this is a combo of sophistication and whimsy. Thanks for not giving up and for sharing your ARTSY talents with us here at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog!
