It is time for a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog and this week our theme is Stamp It! It is the first Monday of a new month, which means that the team is showcasing products by a specific company/designer and this week it is Simon Says Stamp Exclusive Products. You can find all the wonderful stamps, dies, stencils, inks, papers, tools and other products here.

We also have a new guest designer and during September namely Carol Gunn. I hope you will visit her blog and look at what she has created for the challenge.

STAMPtember® is filled with inspiration, creativity and surprises. The Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember® release came out today. You can find it this huge release here. 

I made a tag with one of the new stamp sets from the Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember® release, namely the Pumpkin Blessings set. Three different sizes pumpkins were stamped on the background. Both the pumpkins and the background are watercolored.

Start by cutting a tag from watercolor paper. Stamp the pumpkins from Simon Says Stamp Pumpkin Blessings on the tag, with the sentiment a little bit above the middle of the tag. 

Watercolor the pumpkins, leaving a little of the paper showing for highlights. 

Continue with a green/brown shade.

The background was watercolored with a light beige, dropping in a darker brown around the edges before the beige paint was dry.

When dry, splatter with the dark brown paint.

Stamp here and there with Simon Says Stamp Crackle Background, for a little more texture.

I also added Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Dazzling Gold Gems to the tag. 

I dropped a little yellow paint into the green on the green pumpkins.

The Pumpkin Blessings set has great sentiments and also a stamp with a banner perfect for the sentiment. I didn't use that stamp here. 

I added a few marks with a white gel pen.

Don't miss all the inspiration and surprises during STAMPtember®!
