<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Good Monday Morning to you!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am here today to share a card for our latest challenge at <a href="http://simonsaysstampandshow.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #7f6000;">Simon Says Stamp and Show: A Krafty Challenge</span></b></a>. Oh how I love the look of kraft paired with white, so that was my starting inspiration :) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On a side note....I am so sad to say that this will be my last post as part of the Simon Says Stamp and Show DT. My new full-time job is totally robbing me of any time to craft...I am so grateful to Simon Says Stamp and all the wonderful team mates I have had the privilege of crafting with.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Just a little close-up to show some details and dimension. Sorry there is no tutorial this week, but this card really is just a simple stamp and layering type of card...no tutorial needed for that! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Good Morning to you all!</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I am back with our latest challenge for <a href="http://simonsaysstampandshow.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><strong>Simon Says Stamp and Show </strong></span></a>. It is to use buttons :) Who doesn't love buttons !?! I am once again a "collector" of these pretties....I keep them all sorted by colour in separate jars, the funny thing is that I don't use them very often!....but they sure are pretty to look at! </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">So this challenge was perfect for me to "let go" of some of them :)</span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp3YcDcekIccuLfH3xQgQ62uJPPGGZVhsI7xD-C0wUFVFOvbvzltJ0FSkJKXPsO3xxSPjo29dxf_Fu2HGreXJ_LrxPzfbKUFLb64tzk0e8XNiYLoPmgPPDAuTu1_ZLDE635KJNwvXAeQY/s1600/buttonsmy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="626" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp3YcDcekIccuLfH3xQgQ62uJPPGGZVhsI7xD-C0wUFVFOvbvzltJ0FSkJKXPsO3xxSPjo29dxf_Fu2HGreXJ_LrxPzfbKUFLb64tzk0e8XNiYLoPmgPPDAuTu1_ZLDE635KJNwvXAeQY/s640/buttonsmy.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I knew I wanted to have a flower on my project to house my pretty buttons. So I began by making a coordinating coloured sheet of acetate with my alcohol inks, all you do is drop down the ink...easy peasy!</span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWvaciCEj1KQMg8v6xlgtwcFo3Ao14eUDKVBxtd8QyfblrQWBhW8wDdOHPjp6pxW8zvGCExwHHlg9mNy8Ka0HkOrqw2dMpiOY3JgnRFifzxbyUZCztGUyNMHI8iEyjNoac7W8pl0YbGC0/s1600/buttons1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWvaciCEj1KQMg8v6xlgtwcFo3Ao14eUDKVBxtd8QyfblrQWBhW8wDdOHPjp6pxW8zvGCExwHHlg9mNy8Ka0HkOrqw2dMpiOY3JgnRFifzxbyUZCztGUyNMHI8iEyjNoac7W8pl0YbGC0/s640/buttons1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then I cut out flowers with my pretty Plentiful Petal die.</span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPkhveCRXHQaWq9bSJqgj6VoUvyxFwvdu572K-ZghcwSsE55SFm2U0iYoF7D2RciymNf0Plos1j96M2mChuafvYSHCsZOs3NVGyQkPmeHudkkmvWhC8uGzadONpXirrr0iFX0e1_1Xw1w/s1600/buttons3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPkhveCRXHQaWq9bSJqgj6VoUvyxFwvdu572K-ZghcwSsE55SFm2U0iYoF7D2RciymNf0Plos1j96M2mChuafvYSHCsZOs3NVGyQkPmeHudkkmvWhC8uGzadONpXirrr0iFX0e1_1Xw1w/s640/buttons3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I also cut out the same image in white to back the acetate to show off the pretty colours better.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Next I inked up a #10 Manila tag with my Distress Inks and then gave it a subtle image look with a stencil and spray ink.</span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Using a tag for this projects automatically finished the back of the card too...lol something I never do!!</span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The inside gets a little inky from the process, so it got a inking too; and also becomes finished ...I think it will look really pretty with white writing :)</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />Good Monday morning!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am here to today to share a card I have made for our latest challenge at <a href="http://www.simonsaysstampandshow.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #783f04;">Simon Says Stamp and Show: Into the woods</span></b></a>. Once again this challenge offer so many possibilities...just check out the awesome Dt inspiration!!!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Immediately I thought of my Hero Arts Designer Woodgrain stamp, but I wanted to challenge myself to make a "girly" card. Here it is:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I did a type of reverse inking with this stamp. First you generously apply ink to your paper....I just put the ink pad directly down and swept it over the paper a good few times. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Then you spritz your stamp with water and stamp it down on your inked paper, let it sit for a minute or so while applying pressure. When you lift up your stamp, you will have also "lifted" up some of the ink...so to speak, but not really...it is just the water reacting with the ink :)</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Lots of Hearts clear stamp set by Simon Says was the perfect match with the cute wood grain hearts :) To pump up the girly aspect I added a Die-namics flourish covered with Glossy Accents. It was cut from my stash of handmade papers using the "Resolve" method....you can find <a href="http://trace44.blogspot.ca/2012/08/sea-salt-vs-resolve-take-2-and-new.html" target="_blank"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138;">HERE</span></b></a>.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I want to share some "must have" tools to accompany your Versamark ink. As you can see in the photo I actually have three pads: clear, red, and black...I will talk about that later. You will definitely want a re-inker, for you want your pad to be "juicy" to get the best image. You must have an Embossing Buddy or similar tool. It helps cut down the static on your paper, so embossing powders just stick to the ink...where you want it :) A fine paint brush will get a few stray bits off. Of course if you are using the ink for embossing you need embossing powder and a heat tool.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Good Monday morning! Hopefully the sun is shinning where ever you are!....but if not then I have a little shine for you ;)</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Today I am sharing a 6 X 6 star card that I have made for our challenge at <a href="http://www.simonsaysstampandshow.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">Simon Says Stamp and Show: A little paper</span></b></a>. I used only one 6X6 paper pack....I love how a designer has already done all the work for me, and all the papers are so matchy poo...definitely good for those days when thinking is a chore :)</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The small scale of the pattern in the packs is another reason why I love and collect 6 X6 paper packs, regular 12 X 12 papers and their patterns would definitely have been too large for this card! 6x6 paper packs are PERFECT for card-making, mixed media, and scrapbooking too!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Good Monday morning to you all!!</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I am back today with a multi media board for our latest challenge over at <a href="http://www.simonsaysstampandshow.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6;">Simon Says Stamp and Show: Inspired by</span></b></a>. This could be anything from a quote, a song lyric, or your favorite artist.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My daughter requested a turquoise board for her wall, so that got my mind thinking to a very cool technique I had seen on the Faber-Castell blog <a href="http://designmemorycraft.typepad.com/design-memory-craft/2013/01/gelatos-on-canvas.html" target="_blank"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f1c232;">HERE</span></b></a>.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I still had some leftover salt technique paper lying around, so I decided to use it for my heart...I wanted to share a tip.

I just like to play and HOPE that it turns into something I like :)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then my OCD kicked in and I NEEDED to see where the paint was going :) SO I pulled out my Ranger craft scraper tool and applied more layers of the THD paint with it.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In the photo below I have added a few more layers with the paint...the orange circles are a stamp dipped in the paint and then stamped on the tag, and as you can see I used a stencil and foam applicator to apply the purple THD paint to the tag.</span></div>

I must admit....background stamps do make up the majority of my stamp stash...I could not craft without them!!! I LOVE them!!!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is called CC027 Flourishes, and it is an Impression-Obsession 5.75 X 5.75 inch rubber cling stamp.....love it...definitely very versatile and perfect for so many different projects!! You can find it <a href="http://www.simonsaysstamp.com/servlet/the-25655/IO-Cling-Stamp-FLOURISHES/Detail" target="_blank"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">HERE</span></b></a>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">At first I thought my inked background paper would maybe too busy...but I really think this background stamp is the star of the show :) If you are interested in how I created the background paper, you can see this post <a href="http://trace44.blogspot.ca/2012/03/playing-with-alcohol-inks-take-2.html" target="_blank"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6;">HERE</span></b></a>. Basically you just squirt drops of alcohol ink into water and dip your watercolour paper in it....easy peasy!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />Good morning! I am back today with the latest challenge for <b><a href="http://www.simonsaysstampandshow.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6;">Simon Says Stamp and Show: Fly</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">.</span></b> Upon thinking of ideas for this challenge, many came to mind such as birds, airplanes, clouds, feathers, and of course my favorite butterflies....so I just had to go that route :) This tags message comes at a fitting time actually...for I have recently resigned from my job....cross your fingers for the magic for me would you? LOL!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This tag did started as a mop of tag, to which I then applied my Mini Peony stencil and embossing paste...love how this gives dimension!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Next I applied a coat of Distress crackle paint in rock candy...I was pleasantly surprised to see that this made some of the ink colour move around, and it also facilitated the embossing paste picking up some of the colours too!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After the crackle paint had dried over night, I applied a layer of Distress Stain in picket fence. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I just love how the Tim Holtz white picket fence paint pools in concave areas of the crackle and just gives it a bit more subdued look :) Almost like clouds for the butterflies....ok I know that is a bit of a stretch lol!</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ok....one last photo to show the dimension of the butterflies, I use Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots adhesive...it is so cool, because you can built it up to what ever height you need and they don't flatten down...love that!!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Of course IRL it is even more sparkling :) I was able to cover the whole tag with sparkle product, and then layer more and more sparkle = happy girl! I really don't think one can have too much :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The tag began it's life as a mop-up tag...you can see some of the inks were even shiny :) </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I created this butterfly by embossing it in silver powder, and then once again applying the clear crackle paint. Then I applied a layer of Inka-Gold metal paint in silver topped with walnut stain ink applied into the cracks to give it some punch!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Good Monday morning!! I'm back with our latest <a href="http://www.simonsaysstampandshow.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6;">Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge- Quotable.</span></b></a> There are so many wonderful quotes floating around our social media world today....pinterest and facebook, just to name a few I find inspiration from :) The quote I have chosen is by Abraham Lincoln, I have loved it for quite some time! We actually have it on a art board in our basement, but I also wanted it in my art journal :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To start the two page spread, I lay down quite a bit of Dylusions ink :)</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Next, I sprayed water through a circle stencil.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwKHE_OPysdoDZBfNrdzcvhEl05rK3hyVLJTJJbWrEXDTaE0jebP-_D_V0baQx-95AMGEYDUpKSJ2YTCKCOv_KCW-qNzh5TpjTX0-DkzaM5DtfiBXYcCWYg-rWR0bCcGKVwsZQHLcDWnE/s1600/Quote+beg2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="539" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwKHE_OPysdoDZBfNrdzcvhEl05rK3hyVLJTJJbWrEXDTaE0jebP-_D_V0baQx-95AMGEYDUpKSJ2YTCKCOv_KCW-qNzh5TpjTX0-DkzaM5DtfiBXYcCWYg-rWR0bCcGKVwsZQHLcDWnE/s640/Quote+beg2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You end up with this cool water mark effect :) I did do a little mistake in the bottom right corner...I don't like how it shows the edge of the stencil...I forgot to slightly lift the stencil up....that would of avoided this, OR you can mask off the edge like I have shown in the above photo.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Good Monday morning!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Our challenge this week at <a href="http://simonsaysstampandshow.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6;">Simon Says Stamp and Show</span></b></a> is Water. WOW...so many ways you could interpret this! I choose to share a tag with you where I used THREE different water techniques. To me these water techniques are like magic LOL! So fun, and most of the time have an element of unpredictability....which is good for the evolving to be no longer perfection striving me....I really think I am achieving success AND happy with the results too :) Here is my tag....this is a photo heavy post....I really wanted to show you all the THREE water techniques :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To be able to use the first technique...I needed to have a tag that had plenty of ink on it, so I applied Tim Holtz Distress Stains in colours: Wild Honey, and Tumbled Glass. I know...kinda ugly :)...just wait...I have heard most projects have this "ugly" stage and not to give up!!!!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So for the first water technique...I sprayed the stencil with water and applied it down on the tag, let it sit for a minute or two to absorb the water, then remove the stencil....you can do the opposite and spray water once the dry stencil is down...it will give the reverse image.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ok...so on to water technique #2. I white embossed a flower image on Neenah paper...you could also use watercolour paper. Next I messily coloured in the image with my Tim Holtz Distress Markers. Another "ugly" stage lol!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then I spritzed the image with a mixture of water and perfect pearls. Doing this blends the ink and gives a pretty shimmery flower. As you can see by the completed tag....I redid the embossed images to a black colour :)</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">All you do is stamp your Tim Holtz Distress Ink pad down on your Ranger craft mat, it dosen't look like much...but give it a few sprays of the water and PP mixture you used earlier and magic!! Then swirl your ribbon in the ink....I put my hand in a baggie so I don't get inky...I just reuse it over and over again :)</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My goal for this project was to be "free" in my creating....so I decided I wanted to finger paint as much of the project as possible :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I pulled out my Dylusions art journal and covered the pages with my Tim Holtz Tissue Wrap. This provided a perfect background to guide my colouring. I played with my Faber-Castell Gelatos....love how they blend and move so easily with just your fingers. You can also do so with water if you choose :)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I added a few more layers of finger painting with Gesso and Pan Pastels.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">More "free" finger painting to make the circles....this would not have been me a couple of months ago LOL!! For the title letters, I did not have a stamp that was the right size, so I traced around chip board letters....I just couldn't do that free hand LOL! baby steps remember :)</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">....and because I always seem to need a little bit of "pretty" messy in my work, I added a scallop edge around the circles :)</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Good Monday Morning to you all!! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am here today to share a project for the latest challenge at <a href="http://www.simonsaysstampandshow.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c;">Simon Says Stamp and Show: The stamp I love but don't use</span></b></a>. I know you all have them....that stamp you JUST had to have, but it sits there unused and maybe even not inked... GASP :) I am guilty too :) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The stamp I am going to use today is one of those...I just had to get it, I really love it, but have only inked it up once, about a year ago!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I started the card by making a background with a technique I had yet to try from the Tim Holtz Compendium of Curiosities Vol 1...using drops of Ranger Alcohol Ink on Glossy Paper, and then blowing the drop with a straw to spread out the ink. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Definitely a fun technique where you are not totally in control of the outcome :) Unexpected directions the ink takes and unexpected new colours develop with layering. Very fun indeed...I will do this again. Just a word of caution....you might want to have a few straws...its like playing a wind instrument, you might add some of your DNA to the piece ;)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />Good Monday morning to you all!! I know....just trying to be positive :)</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">This week, our challenge at <a href="http://simonsaysstampandshow.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank"><strong><span style="color: #666666;">Simon Says Stamp and Show</span></strong></a> is to incorporate some form of metal into your project. I immediately thought this would make a perfect manly card for my hubby :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I started by laying down chipboard letters on some scrap paper. I cut-out random rectangle shapes from Rangers Foil Tape Sheets, and smoothed them over the letters. I ran out of foil tape, so you can see two of the corners I just coloured black....This is a HUGE step for me in my quest for less "perfection striving" me lol!!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Good morning!! I am here to share my project for the latest challenge at <a href="http://simonsaysstampandshow.blogspot.ca/"><strong><span style="color: #741b47;">Simon</span></strong> <strong><span style="color: #741b47;">Says Stamp and Show- And now for something messy</span></strong>.</a> This is the start of a new journey I am on...a little less "perfection striving me", be a bit more "messy" :) This is the first page of my new Dylusions Creative Art Journal. I must admit, I took me a long time to even start...the journal is soo pretty on its own lol. I know....oh dear. This process may not be short, or easy :) It's about the journey...right?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After inking the journal with my Dylusion ink sprays, I sprayed water over my TCW stencil. I let the water sit for a minute or so, then rolled a paper towel roll over the area to achieve the water effect below.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Good morning to you all! I'm back today with a project for our latest challenge at <a href="http://simonsaysstampandshow.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #b45f06;">Simon Says Stamp and Show: Ever After</span></b></a>. I was inspired by childhood memories of dressing up as a princess. I recall being a princess for Halloween at least a couple of times :) I came across a picture of myself from a girls scrap getaway where I always feel like a spoiled princess :) so I thought this would be fun to use in my art journal.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To start the blank page, I pulled inspiration from the photo....my red hair, the brown barn board in the background, and of course the tiara :)</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Next I blended in Faber-Castell gold pastel crayon with my finger to give it a more monotone look...even though I love the initial inked page...I thought it was too busy looking.</span></div>

Living in the country, we have some spectacular night skies, so full of stars...my family often makes fun of me for always saying "Oh look at all the beautiful stars!"...they don't love them like I do ;)</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Good Monday Morning! We have a great challenge going on at <b><a href="http://simonsaysstampandshow.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">Simon Says Stamp and Show</span></a></b>!! It is called "what I'm known for" I do think that for most of us this probably changes somewhat as time moves along. I know at least lately, I have been making a lot of inked background papers; so I am going to say that most people would give that answer if you asked them about me lol! So here is my project:</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I began by embossing the stamp image with <a href="http://www.heroarts.com/products/productInfo.cfm?ItemNo=PW110&subCat=L03" target="_blank"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;">Hero Arts White Embossing Powder</span></b></a> onto watercolour paper. Then I applied various colours of Tim Holtz Distress Ink re-inkers one at time, spritzed them with a mixture of Perfect Pearls and water mixture. I tilted the paper around and let the ink travel. Then I choose another ink colour and repeated the process till I had the whole paper covered. Let me tell (warn) you...this is very addicting and fun!!! I could of done this all day long, so I do have another one to share :)</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Good morning!! I have a dt card to share with you for our latest challenge at <a href="http://simonsaysstampandshow.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #7f6000;">Simon Says Stamp and Show - Lace love</span></b></a>. I know I love lace...I think I use it in some way on almost every card....it might be actual lace, a lace doily, or a lace border strip of paper...so many options for you to try out in this challenge :) I was inspired to weave my lace after seeing a lot of that on Pinterest lately. Here is my lace card: </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As you can see I used a whole bunch of different laces from my stash :) and wove them together to make this puffy raised lace panel. I just wrapped the edges around to the back of my cardstock, and used double sided tape to secure them down.</span></div>
