Meihsia Liu Simply Paper Crafts Mixed Media Sewing Edges Dream Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Tim Holtz 1

Hi, my lovely blog friends, welcome back of the new challenge this week! Our challenge theme at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge is "YOU'VE GOT THE EDGE". Please focus on the edges of your creation and add some interest to them, There are so many ways to create on the edges- use die cut borders, distressing, embossing, inking, stitching or any other way to draw your eye to the edges of your project. I can't wait to see what you create.

I made a mixed media card this week with distressed and sewed edges. I colored and stamped the card with Tim Holtz Oxide Reinkers and Oxide Ink Pads.

This card was cut from the white card stock and made 5.5" X4.25" card base. On a piece of slightly smaller watercolor paper, I colored the background with Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Reinker and water mixture. I also stamped the text print on the colored watercolor paper to create some patterns. Then I sewed the colored watercolor paper on the card base.

I layered and added some embellishments on the card using Tombow Mono Glue and Tab Adhesive.

The sentiment was added with Tim Holtz Big Chat Stickers. On another piece of watercolor paper, I stamped my main sentiment using Tim Holtz Cling Rubber Stamp and Simon Says Stamp black ink pad.

The next step was distressing the edges of the card! I also had some Oxide Reinker and water mixture randomly dropped on the card as the final touch.

Mixed Media Shape M

Hello, my crafty friends, this week at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge, we are creating something shapely. You could create something 3D, a box or folder for example, or you could create a card with 3D elements or a fitness theme.

I was inspired to created a wall decor using Tim Holtz Flip Top Distress Paint Set and embellished it with Prima Marketing St. Tropez Metal Pack.

This wood letter was bought from my local craft store. I first pasted the metal embellishments using Tombow Mono Glue then colored it with Distress Paints.

I sprayed some different colors using Distress Sprays randomly on the wood background and metal embellishments. The distress effect on the edges of the wood letter and metal keys, gears and all the metal embellishments was created with Art Dauber and dark Distress Paint.
