Stitch It

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

It's been wonderful having   Rox with us this month sharing her beautiful creations! 

This week the challenge is: STITCH IT

Headed to the dressmakers

 

I began by split stamping the tag for the background. 

Next, some ink smooshing with ground espresso ink. 

Then, I decided a bit of color was in order, and blue and brown make a great combination. I also used the ink to color the woman's dress. 

Add a bit of Distress Spritz to the tag... 

Time to add some stitching along the side. Since I don't see well enough to stick myself, these faux stick stamps from Tim Holtz are the perfect solututionl 

 

Buttons go along with stitching and sewing, right? 

Details... 

 

 

 Let's head off to the dressmaker for some new frocks!

Simon Says Add Some Text

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

This week the challenge is: ADD SOME TEXT

So, what would you think if you were a cat and a giant bird swooped down to take the butterfly off your head? 

I’ve kept things a little simpler this week because I’ve had another loss in my vision. I’m kind of feeling like that cat facing the giant bird and calling out holy shiitake!

I layered the ATC with some Dina Waklye paper, stamped my bird onto more of the sheet, and stamped the worlds on a bit more.

Can you imagine the cat's reaction to seeing the big bird arriving? I think I might say these exact words myself!

 

So, yes, Holy Shiitake it is!

Fun With Paint

 

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

This week the challenge is: FUN WITH PAINT

Let's mix watercolor and acrylic paints with these ATC's. 

I began with a blend of warm watercolors.

Next, I laid a sheet of bubblewrap over it and let it dry. 

I love the circle circular design it leavercular

On the second ATC, I added cool watercolors. 

I scrunched up a plastic bag and laid it over this one. I think I was too impatient in lifting it, and didn't get much of a design. 

So...I decided to stamp the crinkled bag and stamp it over the paper. 

...adding some white splatter... 

Meanwhile, I stamped my birds onto painted text papers (acrylic paints), then added some metallic flakes. I also added some highlights with a white pen.

And here we have...
