Simon Says Stamp and Show: For the Love of Sparkle

This tag was made from the Autumn Gatherings by Tim Holtz Alterations. fisrt I distressed the background with distress inks, then I cut out the garland several times in different papers and distressed them.

 

I cut out the saying from a Tim Holtz stamp and distressed the edges.

The glitter on the branches was made by Tim Holtz  Distress Stickles (Rock Candy). I dyed a ribbon in distress stain Forest Moss. I would like to enter this tag into Simon Says Stamp and Show: For the Love of Sparkle

Unfortunately, shortly after completion, this tag fell off the easel onto the floor when I shut the living room door,  where it was devoured by my craft loving dogs...

Sunday Stamper - Week 224 - Behind the Mask

I only had my journal with me this weekend so I decided  to do this mask and stencils challenge. I painted the background with yellow, blue, orange and a little bit of turquiose acylic paint. I stenciled on some dots, letters and numbers and then I covered it with diamonds and circles in gesso.

I stamped some chicks rubber stamps from my stash.

This is it for today. I am entering it into Sunday Stamper - Week 224 - Behind the Mask

Simon says Stamp and Show- Tape it Up

For this challenge I re-used a canvas board which was brown with a stamp on it. I layered it with four types of Tim Holtz's tissue paper to partly cover over the previous stamping. I then covered the tissue paper with distress inks.  The next stage consisted of producing three Tim Holtz rosettes of varying sizes. The rosettes were made using Tim Holtz paper.

I stamped the word "AUTUMN" because the project had an autumnal feel.
I made some leaves out of Tim Holtz's packaging (see Compendium of Curiosities II), I dyed them with alcohol ink and heated them up to give them a 3D shape. The leaves and the rosettes were attached using a hot glue gun.

I am entering this project into Simon says Stamp and Show- Tape it Up challenge.

Simon Says Stamp and Show "Read All About It"

Having bought the Tim Holtz's border from a show in May this was my first time I have used it in a project. I coloured the sewing room border with gold and silver dabber and then distressed it with walnut ink and barned door  then wrapped some cord around the cotton reel.

I decided to use Kraft Resist paper and I coloured it in with distress stain, broken china. I cut out the dress former with my Vagabond and then cut another layer out of sticky backed canvas. I distressed the body of the canvas with vintage photo.

I hope you can see the Kraft Resist paper in the above image. There was a saying that I had "Sewing mends the Soul" and I placed it on some Kraft paper and distressed it around the edges with vintage photo.

Hope you like my entry into the Simon Says Stamp and Show "Read All About It" challenge sponsored by the Simon Says shop. All the products used were from Tim Holtz except for the saying.

Sunday Stamper - Week 221 Tulips from Amsterdam

I was away at my caravan where my stash is rather limited so I decided to use my  Card-io stamps, Floral Wreath. I stamped the card with Floral Wreath and in a magazine I found the words  "A Place To Be". I mounted the words on green paper and glued them into the centre of the card. I backed the card with some pink paper and then gold.

The above is a close up of the card stamped with Floral Wreath. I am entering this card into Hels challenge.
