Simon Says Add Metal

 

 Hello Monday, my friends! And welcome to another weeek on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Thank you for joining us for the  Inspired By Music Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.

See the STAMPtember collection HERE!

This week the challenge is: ADD METAL

Just add some metal to your make this week, a charm, a metallic sheen, foil, whatever you like!  

Summer is winding down, but the insects have still been singing at night, which inspired my insect themed ATCs. 

I stamped a sheet of images from the Field Notes stamp and cut out to fit my ATC. I also stamped some toadstools and fussy cut then to add.

I spritzed Vintage Rust over them.

Next, I added white splatter. I do tend to get carried away with this step, lol!

I layered on my Funky Insects, sentiments, and my metal bugs. I rubbed gold gouache over the metal to coordinate with the gold on the die cut. 

EMBRACE THE JOURNEY

BE YOU, BRAVELY

Inspired by Music

 

 Hello Monday, my friends! And welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Thank you for joining us for the Stamp It/STAMPtember  Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.

This week the challenge is: INSPIRED BY MUSIC

I was thinking of certain songs I like for this, but then thought I would just go general and add the idea of the magic of music. I mean, music is really magical, right? It transports us when we hear it, it can invoke a forgotten memory, and it can just make our hearts soar.

I began by brushing watercolor onto my pages.

Next, I blended ink into the Flourish stencil around the edges...

Next step, collage layers...

I thought the dancing ballerina was perfect to enjoy the music. I added a bit of watercolor to her outfit. 

I hand lettered Music is Magic....

Somewhere along the line, I added white splatter.

If you love to read like I do, this card might just express your kind of magical day - a big stack of books and uninterrupted time to read them, LOL!

 

 I stamped my words and used the grid stencil and Aegean ink on the card background.

 

I stamped and colored my images, then fussy cut them out.
