Simon Says - Light and Airy

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

The first challenge of the month is when the team showcase one particular brand/company and this month we are all using fabulous products from Studio Light. You don't have to use their products to join in the challenge, but if you have them in your stash, we would love to see what you make with them.

We are also welcoming the lovely and talented Wanda Hentges as our May Designer In The Spotlight. If you haven't visited on Instagram before, please pop by, you are in for a real treat.

The theme for this week is...

LIGHT AND  AIRY

I created a card for a gardening friend inspired by the poppies in my garden, nodding their delicate heads in the gentle Spring breeze. 

I used Studio Light Wildflower Basket stamp set coloured with Tim Holtz/Ranger Ink Distress Watercolor Pencils, Studio Light Sentiments Essentials Sticker Book and Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Spots Layering Stencil.

I trimmed Distress Watercolor card to 4.3/4" x 6.3/4" and fixed the self adhesive alphabet stickers from Studio Light Sentiments Essentials Sticker Book in place.

I smooshed Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink on to a piece of clear acetate, spritzed with water and pressed on to the panel repeatedly until happy with the coverage.

I placed Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Spots Layering Stencil on the panel and scribbled around the dots with Mustard Seed Distress Watercolor Pencil and used the Distress Detailer Brush to pull the colour into the circles.

I stamped the Studio Light Wildflower Basket on to the panel, inked with Black Soot Distress Archival and coloured with Distress Watercolor Pencils - Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade, Salvaged Patina, Pine Needles, Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain. I smooshed the Mustard Seed Distress Oxide ink pad on to my Glass Media Mat, spritzed with water and added splatters to the background.

I added flowers stickers from the Sentiment Essentials Sticker book, tattered the edges using Tim Holtz Paper Distresser and matted the panel on to a 5.1/2" x 7.1/2" white card blank, covered with Black cardstock.
