Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge: A little paper

Good Monday morning! Hopefully the sun is shinning where ever you are!....but if not then I have a little shine for you ;)

Today I am sharing a 6 X 6 star card that I have made for our challenge at Simon Says Stamp and Show: A little paper. 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 :)

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!

I am going to give this to my hubby....the star in my life :)


We would love to see your creations with your papers....and you just might be the lucky winner of a random draw for a $50 dollar store voucher at Simon Says Superstore :) :) :)

Have a great day! If you are in need of any more inspiration....you will definitely find it over at the Simon Says Stamp and Show blog :) Hugs, TRace

Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge: Inspired by

Good Monday morning to you all!!

I am back today with a multi media board for our latest challenge over at Simon Says Stamp and Show: Inspired by. This could be anything from a quote, a song lyric, or your favorite artist.

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 HERE.

 

 Here is the start of my board. I had already applied a few coats of Gesso to the canvas. I planned a little different project, it was to cover the whole board with my Gelatos:)

Here is the whole board covered :) Not too sure about it at this point, thinking it might be too dark...but I love the canvas texture from the brush strokes from applying the Gesso!

To lighten it up, I decided to apply a bit more Gesso :)Ok...so it looks cool, not sure I like it thought, kinda do and want to leave it lol...so what now???

Cover it with a whole lot of different stencil images :)

I am a little sad that the pretty background does not show much anymore, but I got over it LOL! I just wanted to share...something I had not done before... and that is to use my copics through my stencils...works really well and if you are like me, and have a "few"....they give you many colour options, depending on how many you have of course LOL!!!

The stencil easily cleaned up with rubbing alcohol :)

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 cut our my heart as a stencil....that way I can move the open heart around on the homemade paper to find just the look I want :)

Just like every week Heidi from Simon Says Stamp is giving away a $50 dollar voucher to one random participant to spend at the Simon Says Stamp Superstore :)


You just might want to check out the rest of the dt....they have some amazing projects to share with you at the Simon Says Stamp and Show Blog :)
Have a fantastic day! Hugs, TRace

Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge: Passport to fun

Good Monday Morning!

I am back today with our latest challenge at Simon Says Stamp and Show: Passport to Fun. Well...I don't know too many people who don't like to travel :) There are so many places in the world I would love to see, that is why when we travel...which by the way is NOT often enough :( I like to go to different places.....hence I loved this saying!

 



 

I feel this board is a little simple...maybe compared to how many layers I usually put on a board LOL!...but I really did not want to cover the old atlas map pages :) I LOVE maps!!!

The thick paper pages were easily apply down with Rangers Glue N Seal.

 I LOVE the look of this Studio Calico circle mask...totally looks like the globe!! and I can still see my maps underneath :)

A photo of the steps to achieve the wood board look ...of course the Hero Arts Designer Woodgrain stamp is a good place to start LOL!

 I had this pack of wood veener embellishments by Studio Calico sitting around for a wee bit...perfect travel accents!! I just applied ink and a little Glossy Accents to the heart :)



 

 

Oh I so hope you can join us at Simon Says Stamp and Show! You could be the lucky random winner of a Simon Says Stamp Superstore voucher for $50 dollars!!!

Thanks for stopping by to visit and have a fantastic day! Hugs, TRace
