Simon Says Stamp Challenge: Summer Distress Trio

Our challenge this week is to create something using the Tim Holtz summer distress ink colors. Here I am, all set up with my inks and stamps...while hidden in the background are some papers, ribbons, mists, template, that I used.

I inked up a sheet of glossy paper with the three colors-salty ocean, picked raspberry, and mowed lawn...now if that doesn't say summer, what does? Great challenge for the end of summer! Next I stamped my images out and mounted each on cardboard, then created my background with some patterned paper, stamping, and misting a crafters workshop template over the paper. Decided to create a grid with the ribbon, then add some flowers, pearls and words.

Now, I am ready to enter this into the Simon Says challenge here, and I have the perfect gift for a friend.

  5. Maura, this is a very cool little piece! I love your background colors using the summer distress. Yes, you are right...this is a great challenge to ring out the summer season and usher in the fall. Your stamped images are very clever and look so good together on your piece. Thanks for joining us at Simon Says Stamp and Show. <3 Candy
