IT'S TIME TO CELEBRATE

 

Hi everyone, welcome to my last post and project as a spotlighted guest at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenges this month. 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 :

 4 Legged Friends 

I love cats so much, so I made a slimline card about them. I stamped the images using Tim Holtz SNARKY CAT and CRAZY THINGS stamp sets with Archival Ink Jet Black. Then color them with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Marker. Using Simon Says Stamp Crazy Things Wafer Dies to cut out the accessories. 

For the background, I used Distress Ink squeezed lemonade through the stencil with a Blending Brush. Heat embossing with Distress Embossing Glaze Fossilized Amber. Use a blending brush to blend the ink with Distress Ink Uncharted Mariner.

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

Hi everyone, I was invited by lovely Lols to guest this August and share four 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, we'll invite you all to the 15th Birthday Celebration!!

Happy Birthday

Wow! This challenge has been for 15 years! I can’t believe that I have participated in this challenge for 13 years. Learning from the talented designers here is my greatest reward and joy. 

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 AALL & Create. You don't have to use their products to join, but it is always fun if you do. I've created a card this week. Hope you like it.

For the images, I used the AALL & Create COFFEE TIME A7 Clear Stamp Set and Border Stamp Set - Purrfect Gift. I used Zig Clean Color Real Brush Marker for coloring and cut out the images.

For the background,  I apply Distress Texture Paste through the AALL & Create Stencils Circuit and Rota Vitae randomly. When it was dried, I sprayed Distress Spray Stain Weathered Wood, Speckled Egg, and Tumbled Glass all over it. When it was dry, I used the AALL & Create Eclectic Silhouette stamp set to stamp "15" on the right-hand side to celebrate the Monday Challenge's 15th anniversary. 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 "$50" 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.
