simon says stamp monday challenge: flora and fauna

This week the theme for the challenge over at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog is Flora and Fauna.  Definition: Flora is plant life; fauna refers to animals. The handiest way to remember flora and fauna is that "flora" sounds like flowers, which are part of the plant world, and fauna sounds like "fawn," and fawns are part of the animal kingdom.

This week to create my canvas I used some Mixed Media Board, painted with Twisted Citron and Mermaid Lagoon Paints. I added some texture paste using the Mini Layering 8 stencils, and removed some of the Mermaid Lagoon paint using the Mini Layering 4 stencils. Some stamping in black soot Distress paint with the Halftone and Rings stamps. Then I layered on the Wildflowers and Butterfly Frenzy dies and added some more layers using Distress Crayons. See links to all supplies below.

simon says stamp monday challenge: tic tac toe bingo

 
Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge

Thank you for joining us for the Use Patterned Papers Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.

This week the challenge is TIC TAC TOE and lovely Maura Hibbitts has made this fabulous grid for us to use! Choose a line and use the 3 items in that line, you can also choose a full house option if you're feeling adventurous!

As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store.

I decided to break out Tim's Crazy Cats this week to create a fun tag. I created the base of my page with Distress Spray Stains in Tumbled Glass and Peacock Feathers. I "stamped" onto my tag using a stencil from the Mini Stencil Set 7 using Blueprint Sketch Distress Spray Stain. I added some Crazy Things (tie and sunnies) and a Numbers remnant rub and a quote band colored in with a picket fence Distress Crayon then tied on with linen ribbon.

simon says stamp monday challenge: emboss it

This week the theme for the challenge over at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog is Emboss It! Use embossing powder, embossing folders or even embossing paste :)

For my project this week, I used the Ornate Frame 2 Sizzix Die to highlight my stamped image from the Tim Holtz Evolution set. I stamped my image and placed the frame where I wanted it to be then, traced a pencil line inside the framed area and painted over the area outside the line with Distress Collage Crazing medium. I then colored over the crazing with Distress Crayons and rubbed them in with my fingers. I embossed the frame with Ranger Black Embossing Powder and also went over the frame with Distress Crayons for some colorful texture.

simon says stamp monday challenge: home decor

This week the theme for the challenge over at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog is Home Decor and the design team is using Prima products. This week I created a burlap panel with embellishments. I am working on setting up a new craft room and wanted to make a piece using the Tim Holtz Mosaic die. I cut out a bunch of mosaics and painted them, and added different collage papers, a curio knob, a salvaged doll, and a philosophy tag. I used some Prima Licorice Art Ingredients to give my project a little added texture.

simon says stamp monday challenge: butterfly beauty

This week the theme for the challenge over at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog is BUTTERFLY BEAUTY. I used this challenge to have some playtime with one of my favorite stamp sets from Dina Wakley, Scribbly Insects.  I made the tag backgrounds by smooshing some watered down Dina Wakley Media paints and added some texture with the Mini Favorites and Bendy Pinwheels stencils. I painted my butterflies loosely and cut them out and added some coordinating sentiments from the Handwritten Quotes stamp set. I hope you will pull out some butterflies from your stash and play along with us!

simon says stamp monday challenge: we can see clearly

This week the theme for the challenge over at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog is We Can See Clearly. This week, take a look into your stash and use acetate, vellum, or anything you can think of that is a little transparent or simply can use your imagination to fit the theme :) 

I have been wanting to play with the Tim Holtz Paper Mosaic kit for a while now. I decided to make my grout black with the help of some Black Soot Distress Paint and add painted tag pieces that I painted with Distress Paints and cut out. I added a some clear Mirrored Stars (colored with alcohol ink), a shield charm, a mini plaquette, salvaged doll and a charm from the Souvenir adornments. I just love how shiny the "tiles" look.
