Back to School

Hello everyone who was waiting a whole week to join our new 

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Here we are then with 

BACK TO SCHOOL theme!

As always you can win a $50 voucher and spend it

at Simon Says Stamp store!

My card is a special one cause dedicated to my lovely son 

who is starting the last grade at the Technology College. 

This will be a tough year with the matura exam at the end 

and a hard decicion of which high school to go. 

Anyway, he's studying cooling technology at an electric college 

so the Inventor 2 stamp set is just designed for him, don't you think? 

The word in the center means: discover...

I started with die cutting my lately favorite Mixed Media 6 die set 

in a watercolor paper with previously stitched the edges. 

Since I do not have enough space to store my sewing machine on hand

I take it out sometimes and make lots of stitched card bases for future.

This was the case as well. 

Then I just played with touching the base to my craft mate 

where distress oxide inks and water were applied.

After that I placed my base onto one of a TH Crowded Attic paper 

to have some interesting background beneath 

and started to stamp and emboss. 

I stamped the bulbs with Distress Oxide Black Soot ink and applied 

SSS clear embossing powder, heated it up and played again 

with oxides to color the background. 

Stamped another pair of bulbs, filled the inside with 

TH Distress Wild Honey spray and fussy cut them 

placing one on another with a 3D foam dots.

Sprinkles

Hello there and welcome to join our new 

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. 

This week we want you to show us a lot of 

Sprinkles and Splatters

Remember you can become a lucky winner of $50

and spend it in the Simon Says Stamp Store!

I really love sprinkles and splatters and use them a lot in my projects. 

This challenge was for me so easy, I guess you love to get messy, too. 

I totally forgot to make pictures of the process making of my main panel

but it's really easy part: just stamp and emboss the Inventor 3 (thanks, Beata!)

in black on the kraft tag and then just play with some Distress Oxide Inks 

until you're happy with the result. Finally just splatter it all 

with gold and white paint and color the upper part of the dummies. 

The layer behind the kraft is the one I made a pic of before hide it beneath.

I cut a tag slightly bigger than my kraft one and glued 

the Botanical Collage Paper with gel medium. 

I also applied a thin layer of it on top.

Then I made a messy coloring of the flowers and leaves 

with Distress Sprays. Splashed with white paint and covered 

with white gesso by the dry brush.
