Vintage Lady card with video tutorial

Hi everyone,

It's Monday and that means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week it's all about "Vintage/Past Times".

I wanted to use the technique I used last time once again, but instead of cutting it twice with the Mixed Media set, I wanted to emboss it. And luckily I had the Latticework stencil that matches the die. When the Texture Paste was dry, I random stamped with the Read to Me stamp. Then I applied a layer of Clear Gesso on the whole card.

Hi everyone,

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

Touch of Red card with video tutorial

Hi everyone,

It's Monday and that means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week it's all about "Add Some Red". And we're showcasing Inky Antics products which our teammie Andrea designed stamps for!

Although the theme is "Add Some Red", I decided to use only red, with a little pink. I started with the stamp set Queen's Quips that teammate Andrea has designed!! And stamped it on Heavystock with SSS Intense Black Ink and then again on Post-it Tape to mask it off. Then I started working with Distress Oxides in the different shades of red. I've made the edges more intense with Distress Oxides and an Ink Blending Tool.
