Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Distress It










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

This week we are challenging you to
Distress It 
There are many ways to distress and age a project, from inking and sanding to scraping along the edges with a paper distresser or a sharp pair of scissors. We will be looking forward to seeing how you distress your creation.
As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store

Our guest Beulah Bee has made a fabulous tag this week, please pop by her blog to see her gorgeous work up close and personal! ;-)

I started by using a trio of Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks, Spiced Marmalade,  Broken China and Worn Lipstick to create a background. Once this was dry I splattered with Dylusions Caribean Ink Spray


I used a Darkroom Door Arty Circles Cling Stamp and white pigment ink pad and embossing powder to add to the design and then used a Robin Cling Stamp for the focus. 


I used a Darkroom Door Alphabet Medley Stamp Set to make the 'tweets' and distressing the edges using a paper distressed and then swiped some Worn Lipstick along the edges. I finished with some washi tape and twine. 


and of course I finished the inside ;-)



Thanks for looking!

House Mouse 'Party Peeking'

Hi all! It's time for a new theme over on the House Mouse and Friends Challenge and this time the lovely Natascha has chosen the theme 

'Lets Get Some Berries'
although you can always choose the Anything Goes option 

We are welcoming the lovely Bunny onto the Design Team today! Please pop over to Bunny's Blog to  see her super cute adorable debut card!! ;-)

Now I have a confession to make, I intended to make this card for the mid way reminder for the yellow and orange challenge but I ran out of time before I had to leave for my trip to the south of France. I didn't have time to start again and make a different one for today so I have gone with the Anything Goes option ;-) 



aww aren't they adorable;e peeking out from under the party hat, I do love these meeces, they are like part of my family (sad I know ;-))
I coloured with Copic Markers and added some shading with a Polychromo pencil 


and I finished the inside
