The theme over on the Simon Says Stamps and Show Challenge blog this week is "Polka Dots". Armed to the hilt with a new Hero Arts dots stamp and a Wendy Vecchi dots stamp, I sallied forth into battle! :)When I finished this, it seemed to me like I must be subconsciously yearning for spring, but I wasn't thinking that while I made it!
All the pieces were cut on the Cricut and then inked and stamped with Distress inks (walnut stain, shabby shutters, wild honey and weathered wood). Actually that's not quite true! I meant to cut the clouds on the Cricut, but I forgot about that, so when I sat down to start the piece, I realised they were missing! Necessity is the mother of invention, so I just drew them freehand on some card and cut them out with scissors. :)
Our ever-generous sponsor Simon Says Stamp is offering a $25 gift voucher as the prize again this week! The winner will be chosen at random from those who enter the challenge, so why not give it a try? At the very least why not head over to the Challenge Blog to see how the other members of the design team have interpreted this weeks theme! :)

Hey Dan,
How are you?
Love the artwork.
This is one of my favorite cards I've seen lately - beautiful!
Truly lovely!
I love the project, the colours are so fresh and clean and the concept is thought provoking. I also love 'Litle Dan' popping round the corner to say hello, you are so clever!
Oh my goodness Dan. I didn't know what to comment on first! LOL. That 'Dan the Man' character caught my eye and at first I thought you had the measles! *Ü* Hahaha. He is soo cool. I love it. Your creation is also cool ...with a springlike freshness. Great work as always. TFS. ~Glen~
Dan this is awesome! I love how crisp and modern it looks and the idea of the bird breaking free from that cage is fun.
Awesome piece this week, Dan. I really like the light airy feel to it and the freed bird is brilliant! You knocked the challenge out of the park!
Love it, Dan. The broken cage is so creative. It's little things like that that make a layout so creative. Tami
Great work, Dan! I love your 'bird out of the cage' concept!
*mwah*
