Mixed Media Tag AALL & Create Birthday Celebration

Hello, my talented crafty friends, welcome back to the new challenge. This week at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge we are challenging you to join us for our 11th BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION!  Can you believe that this challenge has been going for 11 years!! As it’s the first Monday of the month we are showcasing a brand/company - AALL & Create. You don’t have to use them to join in with the challenge but if you have them we would love to see them used. 

As it is a special celebration the lovely folks over at Simon Says Stamp are generously increased the prize to a FABULOUS $50 voucher to shop at the  Simon Says Stamp Store. This week we are welcoming the back the lovely Anne Redfern aka Redanne into the Designer Spotlight. Please make sure to visit her blog for all her awesome creations!

I was inspired to create a mixed media tag using AALL & Veggies A4 Clear Stamp on the tag, and decorated the image with Ranger Mini Glossy Accents Glue Adhesive and added sentiments with Tim Holtz Idea-Ology Sentiment Label Stickers.

To start this project, I trimmed the paper from Tim Holtz Backdrop Paper and pasted it on the size 8 tag. The tag was distressed with a distress tool then using a blending tool and Distress Ink Pads I also used a black pen to outline the edges of the tag. 

I stamped the image on the tag using the clear stamp from AALL & Create Veggies Clear Stamps and the black ink pad. The image was colored using watercolors and a brush. I added a layer of Glossy Accents on the image to create the glossy effect on the veggie. I attached the metal clip and a token that were colored with Distress Paints on the tag. To finish off this project, I adhered two birthday label stickers on the tag. 

Hope you like my creation and join us to celebrate our 11th birthday. Happy crafting!

Watercolor Postcard Create a Scene

Hello, my dear blog friends, welcome back for another new challenge! This week at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge, our theme is "CREATE A SCENE". Please join us and play along!

As you may know, the  Simon Says Stamp Store is accepting new orders, but have longer shipping times for the moment due to the coronavirus. With this in mind we have made the difficult decision to suspend the $50 voucher for this challenge.

We know that many people are staying safe at home and we would love it if you would continue to enter the challenges and have fun! We are all in this together!

I was inspired to create a postcard using Simon Says Clear Stamps Your Light and colored it with Daniel Smith Blues Hand Poured Watercolor and Royal Langnickel ZEN Watercolor Brush Set. 

I really enjoyed coloring the stormy weather with the watercolors and loved the cute light house. The sentiments were added from the same stamp collection and some were from Tim Holtz Quotations Stickers. 

Hope you like my postcard and got inspired to create a scene on your project. Join us and happy crafting!
