simon says stamp monday challenge: not a card

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Thank you for playing along with us last week in the  challenge and we hope you will join us again this week too :) 

This week our challenge is NOT A CARD...and I have created a trio of ATCs using some of my favorite Tim Holtz products. The design team is using Tim Holtz products for this week's challenge, and we would love if you did too (although it's not mandatory :)).  For these ATCs I stamped them all with the letter stamp from The Inspector. Then I added layers of Distress Paints, some stamping with Distress Archival Inks and lots of splatter. I finished the cards with a butterfly from the Flutter set and added a Thoughts Label Sticker. 

See full supply list at the bottom of this post :)

simon says stamp monday challenge: not a card

Hi there crafty friends! Welcome to another Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Thank you so much for joining us in our Layer It Challenge last week and we hope you will play along with us again this week. This week our challenge is Not A Card, so make anything but - an art journal, a home decor piece, a tag...it really is up to you. You know I love making ATCs so I thought I would make a set with the new Funky Insects dies since I have been waiting to cut the entire set out. 

To create these ATCs, I cut 4 cards out of Tim Holtz Distress White Heavystock. I added different (rainbow) colors of Distress Paint and dried it. I removed some of the paint by using the Dotted stencil and wiping a baby wipe over it. Then I added gesso over some parts to tone the colors down and dried the cards with my heat tool. I stamped images from the Media Marks 1 and Media Marks 2 stamp sets in bright colors of DIstress Archival Inks. I inked the edges of the cards with Black Soot Distress Ink using a Mini Foam Blending Tool. 

To create the Funky Insects, I painted them with Distress Inks that I smooshed onto my Glass Mat. On parts of each insect, I used a Ranger Distress Embossing Pen and Distress Embossing Glaze to create some texture and shine on each one. To finish my cards, I added a Small Talk sticker to each one. 

The lovely folks at Simon Says Stamp are generously giving away a $25 voucher to shop at the Simon Says Stamp Store!
