This week we are challenging you to add stars to your project.
It's Written In The Stars
We are so excited about the new STAMPtember® Stamp and Stencil set that has been designed by the fabulous Tim Holtz! This set is only available while stocks last so you had better be quick to order it, once its gone its gone!! I don't want you to miss out and be all upset when you can't get yourself one!! ;-)
As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store
Please pop by to see what our fabulous guest Carol and the design team made!!
I decorated a page in my Dyan Reaveley Small Creative Journal. I started by covering the pages with Gesso, closing the page then opening it while it was still wet to create a textured surface, this is a technique the lovely Macarena used quite often and I copied ;-)
Once the gesso was dry I blended a combination of Broken China, Faded Jeans and Seedless Preserves Oxide Inks over the top. I did cut some stashed stars our of vintage text paper and used Spiced Marmalade and Wild Honey to colour those.
I then used a Simon's Exclusive Mosaic Stars Stencil and some Embossing Paste to add Texture, before this was dry I sprinkled some Prisma Glitter over the top and then used a selection of Spray Inks over the whole page to create a distant galaxy.
I used a Seth Apter Die for the circles, I heat embossed with silver powder and while it was still hot I stamped a design into the molten powder. I spritzed the stars with black ink and the text almost disappeared do I stamped some text in white and then embossed with clear powder.
I added a couple of planets, some more little stars and made the sentiment using Darkroom Door Alphabet Stamps
Thanks for looking!
So now it's YOUR turn to write in the stars!!
