Animal Magic - Thinking of You Card

Hey, my talented crafty friends, this week at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge our theme is "Animal Magic". I was inspired to create a card using Tim Holtz Mini Distress Ink Set and Distress Resist Spray for the background, and embellished it with Tim Holtz Cling Rubber Stamp Crazy Dogs.

I started this project with cutting the texture card stock and the white heavy card stock, then layered and pasted them together as the card base. On another piece of white heavy card stock, I dropped some Distress Resist Spray using a brush. After the Distress Resist Spray was dry, I blended the different colors of Distress Ink pad over the card stock using blending tools. I stamped some handwriting pattern on the background, and pasted the background card stock on the card base. 

On a piece of white heavy card stock, I stamped the crazy dog image and colored it using watercolors. It was cut and pasted on the card using foam tabs. 

As the final step, I stamped the sentiment, layered it with different color card stock, an pasted it on the card with foam tabs. 

I really enjoyed the beautiful result of Distress Resist Spray after blending the colors on the background of the card. Hope you like my project and got inspired. Happy crafting!

Mixed Media Art Journal Life on the Ocean Waves

Hello, my friends, welcome back for the new challenge. This week at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge, our theme is "LIFE ON THE OCEAN WAVES". I was inspired to create a mixed media art journal page using Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Ink Pad Salty Ocean on the background, and embellished with Tim Holtz Cling Rubber Stamps Mariner Blueprint and Idea-Ology Photo Booth Vintage Photo.

To start this project, I sprayed Tim Holtz Distress Spray Stain on the background of the art journal page. The background was stamped with Tim Holtz Cling Rubber Stamp Artful Voyage and the black ink pad, then heat embossed using the clear embossing powder.

On a piece of heavy white card stock, I stamped the anchor, rope and ship wheel with Tim Holtz Mariner Blueprint and colored them using watercolors. These images were cut and pasted on the journal page with foam tabs. To finish off this project, I randomly added some sentiments on the page using Tim Holtz Remnant Rubs. 

I hope you like my creation of "Life on the Ocean Waves" this week and got inspired to create your project. Join us and happy crafting!
