Halloween Doodle 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 "Oodles of Doodles".


This was a real challenge for me, because I really can't draw and that also applies of doodling. But I've made the superlative of oodles or doodles for my doing. I started with Collage Paper Typeset, which I applied with Soft Matte Gel. I've also used Washi Tape and old book paper to build up layers. I applied a coat of White Gesso and Clear Gesso and I heat both coats with a heat tool to get those bubbles, these give great texture.

 

After the gesso was dry and bubbly, I started applying color with Liquid Acrylics Ink Black and Tiger Orange. In between I used the Spider Web die set. And for the orange part, I also added Cosmic Shimmer Pixie Powder Burnt Orange and Infusions Orange County. That texture of the heated bubbly gesso is really amazing, especially with translucent mediums.

 

For the oodles or doodles (for me it's oodles and oodles of doodles) I used the White Gelly Roll on the Spider Web and I used a black Zig pen for the Halloween Paper Doll. I first colored this with Distress Crayon Rusty Hinge. Here you can clearly see that I have no experience with doodling and that I still have lots to learn, hahaha.

Beautiful Spooky Botanical 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 "Beautiful Botanicals".


Yes, the Halloween season has definitely started, and you will see a lot of Halloween cards passing by the next few weeks. Although I also like to make botanical style cards, I also really enjoyed doing it with a Halloween twist. I started with Distress Ink in Barn Door, Fired Brick and Black Soot. Then I added some interest with the Undertaker stamp set. And the Latticework stencil with Distress Ink Black Soot.

Grunged Up Bat Cave 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 "Grunge it Up".


As far as I'm concerned, Halloween season has started! It's my favorite holiday of the year. I started with Distress Ink Rusty Hinge, Vintage Photo, Ground Espresso and Black Soot. Through those I also used a bit of Metallique Paint Rustic Brown. After I finished building up the colors, I used Grit-Paste for extra texture. I made this black with Distress Paint Black Soot. I diluted this a little with water.

Summer Memories 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 "Summer Memories".


It's been a real unsual summer, the summer of 2020. Don't think that we will forget this one soon. Unfortunately I didn't go on vacation this year, but that doesn't  really matter. Instead, I made face masks all my vacation long. Although I didn't let that inspire me for this card. But the summery weahter and the beautiful summer days did. Athough it is a bit too hot at the moment, and my apartment is like an oven, LOL!
