Food and Drink

 

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

This week the challenge is: FOOD AND/OR DRINK

I made two ATC's (artist trading cards) for this week's challenge - a coffee themed one and a tea themed. And...I couldn't resist adding the cats...

I began with some ink smooshing on illustration board... 

I overstampped the background with a coordinating color. 

I stamped my cup images on gel prints from my stash, and the words onto watercolor paper.. Then, I stamped the cat and Meow. 

Meow, Let's get coffee soon! 

I doodled a tea bag onto a gel print, fussy cut it and added a cat. 

You are Brew-tea-ful! 

Even the cats are going for the coffee and tea...as long as there is cream in it!

Things With Wings

 

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

This week the challenge is: THINGS WITH WINGS

Journey and seek curiosity...

 

I began by stamping old lettering on kraft deli paper, and adhering bits of that and ledger paper on the Etcetera tag with collage medium. 

Next, I blended some blues over the tag and wiped back some areas over the papers.

I decided to add another layer of collage with printed tissue. 

I added stenciled marks over th tag with turquoise and ocean blended with some white. I had fun mixing the grid stencil with the abstra squares.  

I used collage medium to adhere the butterfly die cut. 

I added some quote chips...SEEK CUTIOSITY, and below that is JOURNEY. 

Final detail was to add dot marks in groups of threes with a white paint marker.

I am loving the mix of bold and delicate, hues of blues, and lovely patterns.

Now, this decor piece is ready to hang!

Stencil Fun

 

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

This week, we are showcasing the wonderful array of products ts from Brutus Monroe. We would love to see you use his products if you have them!

Please join me in welcoming this month's guest designer, Estelle Palumbo of Autoscrap!  You will be inspired by her wonderful mixed media approach to creating. 

This week the challenge is: STENCIL FUN

My page was inspired by a dog themed card we sent to my brother for his birthday. Let's all give a WOOF for birthdays! 

I began the page with colorful strips of Playful Patterns by Brutus Monroes. 

Next, I smudged on some white acrylic paint, and wiped back some areas. 

A layer of collage with tissue paper...

More white paint smudging and some yellow dots made using a dowel.

Now, for the stencil fun! I added several banners across the page, and once dry, I added a line to each. 

All that is left to do is hand cut a WOOF, stamp my images and mount them on black to stand out.  These adorable pups are also from Brutus Monroe.

WOOF! It's your birthday!!
