Simon Says Stamp - To The Moon

Hi my friends, I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and were able to celebrate with your loved ones. I'm back to share a card made with Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Moon Mask Stencil and Simon Says Stamp So Much Love stamp set, Layered Chickadee Die and Polka Heart Stencil from the recent To The Moon release and Etched Berry Branch die from the Handmade Holiday release. You can check out all the fabulous products from the To The Moon release HERE

I trimmed Distress Watercolor card to 4.1/2" x 6.1/2", attached Sizzix Sticky Grid to the back of the largest of the Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Moon Masks and fixed to the panel. I smooshed the Custom Blend Ink Pad (Antique Linen/Old Paper Distress Inks, Speckled Egg/Frayed Burlap Distress Oxide inks) on to the craft mat on my Glass Media Mat, spritzed with water and laid the panel into the inks. I removed the mask, dried the panel and tapped it back into the inks to pick up the remaining droplets.I stamped the sentiments from Simon Says So Much Love, inked with Candied Apple Distress Oxide ink and Black Soot Distress Archival ink, over the moon section on the panel.I die-cut Simon Says Etched Berry Branch from the Handmade Holiday release from Distress Watercolor card, coloured the leaves and stems with Frayed Burlap and Walnut Stain Distress inks and the berries with Candied Apple Distress Oxide ink using a mini round blending tool and fixed to the panel with Distress Collage Medium Matte.I applied Candied Apple Distress Oxide ink through Simon Says Polka Heart Stenciladded splatters of White Gesso to the panel. I die-cut Simon Says Layered Chickadee from Distress Watercolor card and coloured using Frayed Burlap and Candied Apple Distress Oxides, Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a black marker for the eye and beak. I fixed the bird in place with foam adhesive to create dimension.To finish I added white dots to the berries using a Sakura Gelly Roll Pen and covered with Glossy Accents. I inked the edges of the panel with Walnut Stain Distress ink using a mini round blending tool and fixed the panel to a 4.1/2" x 6.1/2" white card blank.

I'll be back soon to share more cards made with products from the To The Moon release. In the meantime, have fun with whatever you are making.
