Picket Fence Studios Cats Are Family

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 Picket Fence Studios 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.

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!

I used a Picket Fence Studios Cats Are Family Clear Stamp Set and made a couple of bookmarks using a Newton's Nook Bookmark Die set.

I help at a local SPCA and will be selling these at a book sale to raise some much needed funds ;-)

I stamped the images, colored with Copic Markers and then masked before adding the background. For this first one I blended Tumbled Glass and Faded Jeans Distress Oxide Inks and then splattered with White Gesso

For this next one I simply splattered with inks

So now it's YOUR turn!

Tim Holtz Wildflowers

Hi all!Welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!

This week the theme is

FABULOUS FLORALS

The lovely folks over at Simon Says Stamp are generously giving away a FABULOUS $25 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 on the challenge blog post!

I made a card using a gorgeous Tim Holtz Wildflowers Die Set and Cling Stamp Set.

For the background I used a Halftone Cling Stamp and Simon Says Stamp Morning Pawsitively Saturated Ink along with some ink splatters and then stamped the wildflowers background using Intense Black Ink. She added a Paper Rose Slimline Texture 2 border and popped the die cut flowers on top, finishing with a Tim Holtz Sentiment Sticker.

Please pop by the challenge blog to see what our lovely guest, and the DT have made :-)

Thanks for looking :-)
