Lorraine's Loft: 02/27/17

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge

This week we are challenging you to create something

Based On A Book

You can interpret this challenge in many ways, you can use pages of a book as part of your project or use the theme of a book as your inspiration. We will be looking forward to seeing where this challenge takes you!

As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store

This is Nicola's last week with us in the Designer Spotlight and we would like to say a huge thank you for all of your creations over the past few weeks. It has been a great pleasure to have you along with us :-)

Please pop by to leave her some love :-)

One of my all time favorite books is The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy and I decided to use 'my precious' as the inspiration for my bookmark ;-)

I used a Ringer Stencil and Bubble Stencil along with a Simon's exclusive Ring Frame Die embossed in gold.

I started by covering a plain pice of Kraft cardstock with Hickory Smoke,Rusty Hinge and Picket Fence distress crayons and then used Hickory Smoke distress ink and the Ringer Stencil over the top to create a lovely design. I then used Gold Pigment ink and the circle stamps from a Paper Artsy Eclectica 3 stamp set to create more interest.

I then used a Bubble Stencil and Nuvo Mother Of Pearl Mousse over the top, while it was still wet I sprinkled with Nuvo Gold Shine Sparkle Dust .

I added a Ring Frame Die to cut out a pice of thick card and gold heat embossed twice to give it a lovely thick coating. I finished with some Big Chat stickers!

If you have never ready the books then I suggest that you do. The films are fantastic, but they are never as good as the book where your imagination helps to create the story ;-)

I was hoping to make another bookmark using 'To Kill A Mocking Bird' as my theme, using a Crazy Bird with his legs in the air but I ran out of time, I hope to be back later with that version ;-)

So now it's YOUR turn to get creating!
