Let's start the July with a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge.
This week we're showcasing Paper Artsy products and the theme is
MAKE YOUR OWN BACKGROUND
As always you can be a random winner of $50 voucher
and spend it at Simon Says Stamp Store.
I played with textures and lots of colors for my background
using all the Paper Artsy Infusions I have.
The sentiment in Polish means: it's your day!
I started by applying Nuvo Expanding mousse through the SSS
Triangle stencil and heating it up until it bubbled
(I love the effect the mousse gives!)
To secure the surface I applied Opal Magic paint and then
played with Infusions mixing colors, adding water, heating up
and repeating all the process until I was happy with the base.
When all the layers dried I covered the surface with Picket Fence paint
using a dry brush technique, repeating the ultra thin layers several times.
When I calmed down all the colors I started to stamp randomly
numbers and rulers from Stampers Anonymous sets,
I used Black Jet StazOn just to be sure the ink won't move.
Having the background ready, I highlighted the edges with black
and made up my focal point using a piece of a resin casting
colored with Alcohol Pearl ink and Sizzix Large Stems
colored with Distress Oxide Peeled Paint Spray.
Then I added an orange - red Sizzix Tattered Butterfly
and covered the dies with Crackle Clear Rock Candy.
I added touches of several Art Alchemy waxes.
