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 :)

Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge: Colour Love

Good morning! I was so excited to receive my Tim Holtz Distress Paints in the mail yesterday! I LOVE colour as you probably are aware lol! I especially like the colour combo of pink and orange together :) So that was my starting point to begin my paint play on this tag....had no idea where I was going, I guess this is my usual too LOL! I just like to play and HOPE that it turns into something I like :)

So to start the play/process...I picked some pretty colours of Tim Holtz Distress Paints and applied them to my craft mat.

Then I dragged my tag through them a few times, drying with my heat gun slightly in between the swipes.

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.

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.

I have found a new favorite white embossing powder :) It is called WOW! Opaque Bright White and yes it is!! LOVE!!

The THD paint worked wonderfully to cover my metal flourishes :)

I love how the painted ribbon stiffens up a bit with the application of the THD paint...perfect for the top of this tag!
