Hi everyone,
It's Monday and that means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week it's all about Summer Garden. We are also showcasing Paper Artsy Products. So if you have them we'd love to see them in your project.
Summer is the best time to enjoy your garden, the spring flowers are beautiful and a joy to see after the long winter months, but Summer is for sitting out in the sun, having picnics on the grass and enjoying barbecues with family and friends. We can't wait to see what creations you make for this challenge!
For my project, I went for an art journal spread. I'm so happy with the Opal Magic Paint Alchemy, that I got the Rose Gold color too. I've applied it as the first layer with the Mixed Media Silicone Brush. Then I stamped over it with the Paper Artsy JM16 and EM17 stamps. I so love those funky style stamps.
With the Distress Crayons set 1, I've colored stamps. I actually didn't do much other than just applying the color. No fancy technique, just coloring with them. It's amazing how the Crayons look on top of the Opal Magic Paint. So nice and bright. With the Simon Says Stamp Scribble Flowers stamp set I made the JM16 look more like flowers for the Summer Garden.
The flamingo is part of the garden party(thanks Marzena!). It's a die from Simon Says Stamp in collaboration with Kelly Purkey from a while back. Unfortunately, this die is no longer available, but there are plenty of other amazing flamingo dies available at Simon Says Stamp!
