Stars and/or Stripes

 

Hi everyone, welcome to my last post and project as a spotlighted guest in this month's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenges. I am honored to be invited to guest with them this month, and I would like to say a huge "thank you for inviting me" and let you know how much fun it was to be part of an amazing design team! I really enjoyed it! This week's challenge theme is :

 Stars and/or Stripes 


For the background, I sprayed the Distress Spray Stain directly onto the watercolor paper. One is red-toned, and the other is blue-toned. Then, put the Tim Holtz Layering Stencil Stripes on the blue one and wipe off some of the ink through the stencil with a damp paper towel. Die-cutting with Sizzix Falling Stars that have been in my stash for a long time. I die-cut the red one using Star dies in my stash and sew randomly with a handheld sewing machine.



Tear off pieces of corrugated cardboard of appropriate size and coat them with gesso at random. Add some decorations from Tim Holtz Idea-ology as the finishing touch. The sentiment is Tim Holtz Tiny Text.


Don't forget, if you would like to see more inspiration from the talented teamies over on the challenge blog, one lucky random participant has the chance to win a $25 gift voucher from Simon Says Stamp every week, and you can join in up to 5 times, which means you could have 5 chances to win. Good Luck to everyone! You have until Monday at 8am Ohio time. 1pm UK time, 2 pm CET to join in.




Thanks so much for stopping by & have a nice day!
Until Next Time,
Hugs & Love,


Ann

At the Beach

 

Hi everyone, welcome to my fourth post and project as a spotlighted guest at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenges this Month. This week the challenge theme is :

 At the Beach 


I stamped the images using the AALL & CREATE Sea Essentials stamp set with Archival Ink Jet Black. Then color them with Distress Ink. Cut the lighthouse and flowers with scissors.

For the background, I sprayed the Distress Oxide Spray and Distress Spray Stain directly onto the watercolor paper. When it dried, I stamped randomly using the AALL & CREATE Sea Essentials stamp set. Distress the edges using Paper Distresser. The two seagulls are die-cutting from Impression Obsession. I've had this die cut in my stash for a long time. The sentiment is Tim Holtz Tiny Text.
