Simon Says Stamp challenge - Children's Easter Challenge

If you're looking for something to occupy the children with over the Easter Holidays we are running a special Children's Easter Challenge on the Simon Says Stamp challenge blog!! It is for under 16's and will run for two weeks so they have plenty of time, and it is an open theme, so they can create whatever they like!

We have put together a special little design team for the challenge, all under 16 of course and my little boy, Connor is thrilled to be on the design team "just like Mummy" LOL! So, without further ado, here is Connor's card for your children's inspiration.


Connor decided to make an Easter card showing how many Easter eggs he would like to receive LOL! He used my Fiskars Ovals template to draw his eggs (whilst informing me he didn't need me to show him how to use it as they use templates at school LOL) and he's coloured the eggs in with his Crayola pencils. Bless him, the card is linen effect and he thought it was brilliant that when he coloured it created little squares in his colouring!

He has added some spring flowers using bits from my stash. A sugar coated brad for the yellow flower and the plastic flower he put together with a brad and three of my photo holders which he decided would make great leaves (and I have to say, I'm quite impressed with this idea - might case it LOL!) Safety conscious Mummy wouldn't let him push the brads through on his own though so he told me where he wanted them and I put them through for him.

For his other flower he chose an eyelet because he wanted to have a go with my Cropodile LOL so I let him squeeze the handles together to punch the hole and set the eyelet.



Connor wanted his card to be sparkly so he has added dots of stickles and lots of diecut dots from a Forever Friends kit that have little silver dots on them.




Connor hopes you like his colouring and his card which he is very proud of and even took it to show his teacher! Hope your children will have fun joining in with the challenge!
