Tag It with Tim!

 

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

We are spotlighting the wonderful products from Tim Holtz, aka The Professor of Craft this week. If you have his products, we would love to see them in your makes.  

Please join me in welcoming othis month's guest designer, Fiona Whitehead. Welcome Fiona!

 

This week the challenge is: TAG IT

Are you ready for a little hocus hocus? 

I began with some ink smooshing on the tags. I started off with tow, which let me choose the one I liked best for this make. 

I also took a piece of scrap paper and did more ink smooshing with a focus on orange for my pumpkin. 

I stamped a spider web in one corner, then stamped, colored and added a bottle with an eye.Do you ever get an idea when you are working on something and sleep on it? Tha's when I came up with using the googly eyes. 

I love the critters in an older Tim Stamptember set, and picked out this one. I colored him bright green., and added googly eyes.

Remember that scrap? I stamped the blueprint pumpkin on it, cut it out, and added some gold highlights. 

Details... 

Another touch I added was white splatter.

Simon Says Use More Than One Stencil

 

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

It's been wonderful having Debbie Emmons with us this month as our guest designer. I always love seeing her wonderful creations.   

This week the challenge is: USE MORE THAN ONE STENCIL

Here I am thinking of fall as the days shorten, and there is a chill in the air at night. I decided on autumn colors of browns, orange and blue for the tag, and began with some ink smooshing. 

First stencil layer is In The Round with Terracotta ink at the base of the tag. My idea is to create an underground feel to this part. 

Above, to get in a bit of sky feel, is some blue ink with the Fanfare stencil. 

This is a great little texture stencil, and I added it to my "underground" area of the tag. 

A favorite older stencil went on top - Leaves, with two layers of paint to try to get a shadow effect. 

Of course, I added mushrooms! I just love the variety of this species. And, I stamped a fun bird and heart too. 

I drew in black squiggly lines to imitate both the surface and roots. I stamped fearless and popped that up after I added some white splatter. 

Details... 

Be Fearless and go on a trek in the autumn woods - you never know what treasures you will find!

Make Your Own Background

 

 

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

This week the challenge is: MAKE YOUR OWN BACKGROUND

Grow Your Own Life

...surround yourself with the people and things you love 

I began my background by stamping the Simon Says Stamp Old Letter stamp and Pepita Background stamp onto the tag. 

Next, I did some ink smooshing with Simon's Ocean and Terracotta inks, plus tim Holtz's Ground Espresso ink. I like this mix to create a rusty background. 

Next up, I layered white paint over the tag using the Flourish stencil by Tim Holtz. Below is a rusty, stamped background, and above, an elegant flourish 

I added this lovely grouping of friends... 

,,,and some Stamperia die cuts. I like the idea of growing your life. It makes it feel organic and full of possibility.
