Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Thank you to all who played along with us in our Transport It challenge last week. This week our challenge is Insects/Birds and I have used one of my favorite Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous stamp sets, Specimen.
I created this card by painting a rainbow of Distress Paints (Kitsch Flamingo, Carved Pumpkin, Fossilized Amber, Bundled Sage, Broken China, Dusty Concord) over a piece of paper from the Idea-ology Backdrops pack. I love the papers with writing on them to help create easy backgrounds. I left a few areas of the paper unpainted so the writing would show through. Once the paint was on, I dried the piece with my heat tool.
I added tons of color to my panel by stamping over it with the Media Marks 1 and Media Marks 2 (my favorites) using Distress Archival Inks from the Mini Kit 1 and Mini Kit 2 sets. Then I added another layer of texture by using some Matte Texture Paste and the Stars stencil from the Mini Stencil Kit 11 and sprinkled some Fossilized Amber Distress Embossing Glaze over the top. Once it was dry, I embossed the paste for some shiny texture. Once it was completely dry, I added some Black Soot and Picket Fence DIstress Paint Spatter and dried it with the heat tool. I stitched around the edge. To finish the card, I added a rainbow colored butterfly from the Specimen stamp set and some small talkstickers.
