In My Garden card with video tutorial

http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/mondaychallenge/
Hi everyone,

It's Monday and that means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week it's all about "In My Garden".



Botanical themes are always fun to do. Unfortunately, I don't have a garden, just a balcony. But that didn't stop me. I started applying washi tape in different widths and colors. Over that I applied a layer of Opal Magic Violet-Green paint. Then I applied a subtle second layer of color with Mod Podge and Infusions. When that was dry I had some fun getting color on there with Distres Oxides, followed by more Infusions.

 

To add some extra texture, I mixed texture paste with Gunmetal paint and used the Typo stencil. Unfortunately, I had problems with my recording. I film my videos with my phone and sometimes if I want to stop the recording or the maximum is reached, then it freezes and the whole clip is lost. Fortunately it nothing really big was lost, only the coloring of the greens and flowers are missing. Pfewww...

Grunge it up card with video tutorial

http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/mondaychallenge/
Hi everyone,

It's Monday and that means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week it's all about "Grunge it up".


Grunge is actually my favorite style. And then I mean the really "classic" grunge style, as I like to call it. With a lot of brown, and a bit of green with blue. But also with the gears and the rusty elements. It has been a while since I made such a grungy project and I was very happy to completely go wild with this theme and enjoy myself for this card. It's one of my new favorites, perhaps my new favorite in general...

 

I started with Distress Oxide and added in Infusions right away. This gives it just another effect, especially because of the concentration of the pigment and the walnut crystals that dissolve later on and that makes it even more grungy. Seth Apter makes very nice grungy stamps and dies, so I used two of them, the Citrus Slice and Drip Drop. I applied Distress Grit-Paste and painted them black. Next, I gave it a look that resembles decayed metal using Nuvo Mousse and Metallique Wax. The gears of the Gearhead dies set got some Texture Paste applied onto them, which gives a more subtle texture, and then I also edited them with both Nuvo Mousse and Metallique Wax.
