Simon Says - Text It

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...

TEXT IT

I made a fun Halloween card using Tim Holtz/Sizzix Edison Colorize and Artsy Leaves Thinlits. I added lots of text to the background and the leaves using Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Dearly Departed and Idea-ology Remnant Rubs and used Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Christmas Cartoons and Tiny Frights for the speech bubble sentiment.

I trimmed Tim Holtz/Idea-ology Backdrops Vol 4 neutral card to 4" x 5.1/4" and fixed to a panel of white card to make it more stable. I applied Distress Grit Paste Crypt through the Autumn Mini Layering Stencil from Set 22 and once the paste was dry, spritzed the panel with Mulled Cider Distress Mica Stain.

I inked the background from Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Ticking and Grain with Rustic Wilderness Distress Archival ink and holding the stamp in my hand, stamped randomly on the panel.

I stamped the script stamp from Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Dearly Departed, inked with Versamark, sprinkled with white embossing powder and heat set.

I added Tim Holtz/Idea-ology Remnant Rubs to add more text to the background.

I die-cut the pumpkin from Simon Says Black, Burnt Orange, Orange Peel, Green Apple and Green Leaf cardstock and the clouds 3 times from Distress Watercolor card using Tim Holtz/Sizzix Edison Thinlits, inked the edges with Black Soot Distress ink using a mini round blending tool, assembled and fixed to the panel with black foam squares. 

I inked the script stamp from Dearly Departed with Black Soot Distress Archival ink and stamped over scrap pieces of Simon Says Sunshine, Green Apple and Orange Peel cardstock.

I die-cut using Tim Holtz/Sizzix Artsy Leaves, added stems cut from black cardstock and fixed to the panel with Distress Collage Medium and foam squares.

I stamped the speech bubble from Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Christmas Cartoons and the text from Tiny Frights, inked with Black Soot Distress Archival, on to a scrap of Green Apple cardstock, fussy cut and fixed to the panel with foam squares.

I added bats die-cut from black cardstock using Tim Holtz/Sizzix Moonlight Thinlits, added splatters of Frozen Fog Distress Mica Stain, matted the panel on to black card trimmed to 1/8" larger and fixed to an A2 white card blank.
