Add A Rainbow of Color

  

Hi everyone, I was invited by lovely Lols to guest this June and share five projects throughout the month linked to their Monday Challenges. It's so honored to be a Spotlight Guest Designer at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. This week, the challenge theme is :

Add A Rainbow of Color. 

Since it is the first Monday of a new month, the team is featuring products by a specific designer/company, and this week it is Dylusions. You don't have to use their products to join, but it is always fun if you do. 

I created this project using Dyan Reaveley Small Creative Journal, Dylusions Ink Spray, and Dyan Stencil. For the background, I used the Dylusions Ink Spray. Then I applied Distress Texture Paste through the Dylusions Stars Small stencil randomly. When it was dry, I created a silhouette of models against a vibrant rainbow background using Dylusions Stencils - Annie and black acrylic paint. I hope you like it.

Don't forget, if you would like to see more inspiration from the talented teamies over on the challenge blog and every week, one lucky random participant has the chance to win a "$25" gift voucher from Simon Says Stamp 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

express yourself with ART

Hi everyone， 

This is the new challenge at More Than Words. We have one main theme to inspire you and this month it's about Art Supplies.  I'm looking forward to seeing what you all come up with...have fun everyone & happy creating!

I used Palette Collage Paper by Tim and Brushes and Carte Postale stamp sets by AALL & CREATE to make this Art Journal page. I always think there is no right or wrong in art, just "Express yourself with art".

HOME

Hi everyone， This is the new challenge at More Than Words. We have simplified the challenges this year and the challenge no longer has two parts. Instead, we have one main theme to inspire you and this month it's about Home.  I'm looking forward to seeing what you all come up with...have fun everyone & happy creating!

I like the quote that I saw in the stamp sets. "There's no place like home, home is where the love is." and "A home is built with love and dreams." I show home love with the Handwritten Heart stamp by Dina Wakley.

I cut a few house shapes from wrinkle-free distress papers in my stash, then used a black pen to draw the outline, and stamped randomly. The small houses look so cute.

I place the stencil over the art journal and blend Distress Ink through the stencil. 

I doodle on the edge of the art journal. Draw some trees and stamp some flowers on the bottom.

Love Letters

Hi everyone， This is the new challenge at More Than Words. We have simplified the challenges this year and the challenge no longer has two parts. Instead, we have one main theme to inspire you and this month it's all about Love Letters.  I'm looking forward to seeing what you all come up with...have fun everyone & happy creating!

When I saw this theme, I imagined the mood of writing a love letter. For the background, I used Collage Paper Typography to cover the entire page and then used stamps to stamp many envelopes and postcard images on blank old book pages, then cut them out and collaged them. I used a feather and a pen nib to make a quill because I think the quill is a romantic element of this theme.

time

Hi everyone， Happy. New Year! 

This is the first challenge at More Than Words. We have simplified the challenges this year and the challenge no longer has two parts. Instead we have one main theme to inspire you and this month it's all about TIME. When I saw the theme, my school days came to my mind immediately. During that period of youth, there are many happy memories. I'm looking forward to seeing what you all come up with...have fun everyone & happy creating!
