Mixed Media Card Winter Blues

Meihsia Liu Simply Paper Crafts Mixed Media Card Winter Blues Simon Says Stamp Tim Holtz 1

Hello, my beautiful crafty friends, welcome back for the new challenge! This week at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge, our theme is "WINTER BLUES" - simply add something blue on your creation! 
I was inspired to create a mixed media card using Sakura Koi Watercolors on the background and stamped the trees with Tim Holtz Distress Ink Pad.

To start this project, I trimmed the kraft card stock to make the card base in size 4.25" X 5.5". I pasted a piece of white card stock that is 4" X 5.25 on the card base', then distressed a piece of corrugate paper that was colored using Koi Watercolors and pasted on the white card stock.

On a piece of watercolor paper, I colored it with Koi watercolor using blue color scheme and die cut it with Simon Says Stamp Snowburst Wafer Die, then ripped and layered it on the corrugate paper. 

The top layer is a piece of watercolor paper that was watercolored on the background using Koi Watercolor, and stamped with the tree images using Distress Ink pad and Tim Holtz Great Outdoor stamp.

I pasted some die cut snowflakes and a stamped sentiment using the same stamp set and inked. The hemp cord, tiny bells and blue glitters were added as the final touch. 

It's great fun to create this card with the beautiful blue colors scheme using different medias and I hope this inspired you to create with us for this week's "WINTER BLUES" challenge. I can't wait to see what you make!

I was inspired to create a mixed media tag using the new Simon Says Stamp Picture Book Gorilla Wafer Die and added the sentiment with Tim Holtz Cling Rubber Stamps Life Quotes. 

On the background of the tag, I sprayed various shades of Prima Pigment Spray then stamped some text print after the sprays were dry. I sprayed on another piece of cardstock using the same color scheme and die cut the leaves for the embellishments.

I really love this cute gorilla so I stamped it with black ink and colored it using watercolors and a brush pen. There are many other adorable animal dies from Simon Says Stamp that you should check here.

The sentiment was stamped using Tim Holtz cling rubber stamp Life Quotes and black ink pad. I colored the number 2018 with Distress Paint and pasted it on the tag using Tombow Mono Glue.

I really enjoyed creating this fun tag with this new die of cute gorilla from Simon Says Stamp, and I hope this inspired you to create with us in the beginning of the new year 2018. On this joyous occasion of New Year, cherish our memories and feel the warmth of my wishes. Happy New Year!
