Simon Says - Oodles of Doodles

Hi Everyone...welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog. Thank you for joining us for last week's challenge and we hope you can join us this week too because

and the theme for this week is...

OODLES OF DOODLES

I created an Art Journal page using Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Doodle Layering Stencil to decorate the background and featuring the Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Snarky Cats Halloween who have enrolled for a lesson at the Sketched Manor Flying School but it doesn't seem to be going too well.

I began by trimming Distress Mixed Media HeavyStock to measure 6" x 8" and spritzed Carved Pumpkin Distress Oxide Spray through Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Doodle Layering Stencil.

I flipped the stencil over, sprayed with Black Soot Spray Stain, wiped the stain from the edges, placed on to the panel and used kitchen towel to press the ink into the card and also to soak up any excess.

I stamped the moon and manor house from Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Sketched Manor on to the panel inked with Black Soot Distress Archival and inked around the edge of the panel with Black Soot Distress Ink using a mini round blending tool.

I stamped the word "flight" using Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Word Text, an old favourite, inked with Black Soot Distress Archival ink/

I stamped the Halloween Snarky Cats, broomstick and witches hat on to scraps of Distress Mixed Media HeavyStock with Black Soot Distress Archival ink, coloured with Distress ink Re-inkers using a Distress Detailer Brush and fussy cut.

I stamped the images directly on to the panel using Black Soot Distress Archival ink and placed the fussy cut images on top

I wasn't happy with the moon, so re-stamped on to a scrap of Distress Mixed Media, HeavyStock, coloured using Carved Pumpkin and Hickory Smoke Distress Ink Re-inkers and fussy cut. I added splatters of White Gesso, matted the panel on to Idea-ology BlackOut KraftStock and fixed to a page in my Dina Wakley Blue Edition Media Journal using Distress Collage Medium Matte. I added Idea-ology Small Talk Snarky Stickers and Halloween Trim Tape, outlined the stickers with a Kelly Creates Black Fine Liner pen, and added highlights to "flight" using a Sakura White Gelly Roll Pen.

I finished by adding Ranger Glossy Accents to the cat eyes.
