Simon Says: Make your Mark

A new challenge on the

Simon Says Monday Blog:

Make your Mark.

Now I received my new Tim Holtz stamps

last week and I just have to play with them,

seeing what I can do.

So here is the result:

For this challenge I used the new

Floral Trims CMS461 cling stamp

Note Quotes CMS 463

and the layering stemcil Brush Hex

different colors of distress oxide ink.

I started with stamping this Floral stamp in versamark

watermark and embossed with gold.

Next I put some colors of distress oxide ink on my

glass plate and wiped it on the card. When dried I

added images with the Brush Hex stencil.

Next I stamped the sentiment on a piece of cardboard

from the box the stamps came in. I also used it on the

background of the card. Stapled the image to the piece

from the box. Gives it a grungy feeling.

Thank you for looking and i hope you have 

a great caffinated creative weekend!

 

Simon Says: Stencil It

 

For this week there is a stencil challenge on the 

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog.

This is what I came up with:

I had seen Tim Holtz Easter/ Spring inspiration You Tube,

but I did not have the raffia (which I thought looked like fn).

I looked through all my stuff and asked around, but nobody

had any. Then today I went shopping and suddenly it was 

there waiting for me, yeah!!

So I had to try to make the carrot:

Borring! So I got out my stencils and new dies

and this is the result:

This is what I used:

Bottlebrush Trees CMS455

Crazy Talk CMS236

Bunny Stitch Thinlits

Thatched stencil THS104

Distress oxide inks

green raffia

Thank you for looking

and I hope you have a wonderful

creative and caffinated day!

Simon Says: Easter/Spring

 

Good Morning fellow crafters!

Hope your day is going fine and Spring is here.

In my place - The Netherlands - it is cloudy and rainy.

Only from the flowers that are popping up in my garden 

I can see that Spring is here.

So my idea for the 

Simon Says Monday Challenge

is to make a fun and colorful card.

Got Tim's Crazy Catz out and some Easter colors

to make this fun card.

Here you can see the colors I used.

The egg stamp is from the set Mini Blueprints 2 CMS146 and

the sentiment is from Craze Talk CMS236.

I colored the images with copic ciao markers.

Thank you for looking

and wishing you a creative

and caffinated day!

Simon Says: Emboss it

Slothy Coffee

Here is my entry for the emboss challenge on
The Simon Says Monday Blog Challenge.
The challenge is:  embossing it.

I used two embossing folders for this card: the beans and the spotches.
The sentiment is printed with the computer, the bowler hat is from the
Tim Holtz set Crazy Things CMS237 and the slothy is a stamp by my
friend Donna (who is working on a digital oinline shop).

For coloring I used ciao copic markers.

Thank you for looking
and have a caffinated fun day!
