Simon Says Stamp - Die Cuts

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...

DIE CUTS

I created a card featuring two cats out on the prowl, looking for love perhaps, by the light of the moon using Tim Holtz/Sizzix Mischievous and bats from Gate Keeper Thinlits. I also used Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Moon Mask Stencil, branch image from Mr Bones, sentiment from The Scarecrow and script stamp from Entomology.

I fixed the middle size Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Moon Mask temporarily to Distress Watercolor card and spritzed with Twisted Citron Distress Spray Stainn and Twisted Citron and Crackling Campfire Distress Oxide Sprays. I removed the mask and dried.

I spritzed the edges of the moon with water, let the inks wick towards the centre and applied Crackling Campfire Distress Oxide ink lightly through the moon stencil using a Distress Blending Brush. I stamped the branch image from Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Mr Bones and the sentiment from The Scarecrow, inked with Black Soot Distress Archival.

I die-cut the cats 3 times from Distress Black Woodgrain card using Tim Holtz/Sizzix Mischievous Thinlits, layered and fixed to the panel with Simon Says Black Foam Squares.

I die-cut the bats 3 times from Black Alcohol Ink cardstock using Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Gate Keeper Thinlits, layered and fixed in place with Distress Collage Medium.

I inked the script stamp from Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Entomology with Crackling Campfire Distress Oxide and stamped randomly over the background.

I flicked on splatters of Harvest Moon Distress Mica Spray

I matted the panel on to Black Alcohol ink card trimmed to be 1/8" larger and fixed to an A2 white card blank.
