Simon Says: Make Your Own Background




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


This week the challenge is 

Make Your Own Background 
We are showcasing Tim Holtz Products this week. You don't have to use them to join in but if you have some we would love to see them used




The lovely folks over at Simon Says Stamp are generously giving away a FABULOUS $50 voucher to shop at the  Simon Says Stamp Store! All you have to do is take out your crafty supplies, make something following this week’s prompt, and add a link in the Inlinkz at the bottom of this post! You can join 5 times so you could have 5 chances to win! How AWESOME is that!! All winners are chosen randomly, so everyone has an equal chance to win! Woo Hoo!! Good Luck to everyone! The Design Team is looking forward to seeing your creative makes and will pop around to visit you ASAP!
Please pop by the challenge blog to see what our lovely guest Jarle and the DT have made :-)

For the background I used Falling Stars Stencil, I sprayed the back with photo adhesive and then fixed to the watercolor paper, I then used Distress Resist Spray to spritz through the stencil. Some did leak through but as this is an 'artsy' kinda project I loved this more 'snowy' look. When it was dry I used Peacock Feathers, Dusty Concord and Stormy Sky Distress Oxide inks to color the sky.




I then used a  Stitches Layering Stencils  and White Embossing Paste to add some 'stars' and texture, I then splattered with inks.


 I used a Tim Holtz Winter Wonderland Deer,  Holiday Words and Atomic Elements Die Sets  for the focal points. I used an older distressed stripes embossing folder (similar to this Tim Holtz one on the snow drift, then gently dabbed it into a FABULOUS Glue Sponge so that only the raised edges were sticky and then sprinkled with Prisma Glitter 




and I finished the inside 





and made an envelope to match 






So now it's YOUR turn!

Do you use Instagram ?  If so please add  #ssswchallenge to your challenge entry uploads so we can see them on there too.





You have until Wed  8am Ohio time. 1pm UK time, 2 pm CET to join in
