The challenge for Simon Says Stamp and Show for this week is handmade backgrounds.
Just getting this in under the wire since the challenge ends at midnight tonight. My background was made with distress inks, flicked with water and stamped with swirls. After stamping the images with archival ink, the white dots were added for more accent.
Love making backgrounds!
This week's challenge for Simon Says Stamp and Show is anything goes. Since the overall theme for this challenge blog is to use Tim Holtz/Wendy Vecchi type designs, all the stamps I used on this tag are from Stampers Anonymous/Tim Holtz.
The tag was distressed with tea dye, aged mahogany and walnut stain Distress inks. The background images were stamped using iced spruce, walnut stain and aged mahogany. I stamped the flowers and butterflies with barn door distress ink on another tag and edged with walnut stain. Then I cut them out and popped them up on the tag, adding some barn door Distress Stickles. A strip of raw silk was tied through the hole of the tag.
Thanks for visiting!
