Time for Fun 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 "Time Out".


For this card I wanted to keep the background mainly white, so I started with that in my mind. First I applied Opal Magic Blue-Gold paint in the middle of the card. I always apply this paint with a Silicone Brush. Because this paint dries very quickly and is difficult to get out of the bristles of a brush. On top of that I started working with Distress Oxides. Because the paint maked that the Oxide remains on top of the paint, it reacts differently when you apply a new layer. It blends much more with each other. This makes it tricky to build up layers.

  


The next step was to add some stamping to give the background more interest. First the Read to Me stamp, and because the theme is Time Out, I also used the Weathered Clock stamp with two different colors of Distress Oxide. I first applied Washi Tape to the middle part of the card and then added a part of the Weathered Clock die. I've given this a bit more dimension by applying Nuvo Mousse and Brilliance Wax.


  
To top it off I used the Clock stamp that is cut out, together with the Paperdolls, Clipping Stickers, Label Letter Stickers and lastly Nuvo Drops.

Flower Power birthday 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 "Flower Power".



Flowers give me a lot of inspiration, to use them in my projects, but also because of their beautiful colors. For my card I used the Botanical Collage Paper. This is really beautiful on its own, but it's also fun to color it. This time I used Infusions to give the background a color as well as the botanical part. For the coloring I've used Matte Matte with the Infusions and a pencil.

 

Then I used MicroGlaze to apply a resist layer. Although I doubt whether it was necessary, since Matte Medium is also already resistant. Next time I'll try without it ... For the background I used 3 different colors of Infusions and let the colors flow together with water. After repeating this one more time, I also added some color with Infusions and a pencil in a few different places.

 

The card is reasonably dark of all the color which is perfect for adding some highlighting with a white pen. And because I've used MicroGlaze and Matte Medium, the white pen will stay white. I also used the Flickering Butterflies from the new Simon Says Stamp release.
