Hello Monday, my friends! And welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Thank you for joining us for the Explore Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.
This week the challenge is: TEXT IT!
The words say it all!
I began by ink smooshing two tags, one in warm colors and one in cool. Simon's Pawsitively Saturated inks work beautifully.
Warm
Cool
Next, I stamped the images from Seth Apter in Mocha on the tags, and also distressed the edges.
I smeared some Sparkle Texture Paste over the tags just using my fingers.
Let dry completely.
The numbers didn't stand out as much as I wanted, so I stamped and cut out the one and four to indicate 14 for an upcoming birthday. I popped them up with foam tape.
This is transforming into a birthday tag to send instead of a card.
I stamped the Happy Birthday in blue, just so they would know, lol.
I tied the two tags together with hand dyed ribbon, and voila! It is done.
s I'm focusing on the text of this great array of words for my traveling sister. The number shaped remind me of old typewriter keys too. As you can see, I went for the old fashioned texting style.
