Simon Says - Hip Hop

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...

HIP HOP !

I created Easter themed cards using Tim Holtz Idea-ology Vault 8" x 8" Wallflower Paper and Serpendity Collage Paper for the background, Tim Holtz/Sizzix Vault Hippity Hop and Vault Wildflower Thinlits die-cut from Sizzix Revealz Sandable Spiced Cardstock.

I trimmed Tim Holtz/Idea-ology 8" x 8" Vault Wallflower Paper to create 2 - 4" x 5.1/4" panels and fixed torn strips of the script Serendipity Collage Paper in place with Distress Collage Medium.

I fixed Tim Holtz/Sizzix Adhesive Sheets to Sizzix Surfacez Revealz Spiced Sandable Cardstock, die-cut using Tim Holtz/Sizzix Vault Hippity Hop Thinlits and sanded back using Tim Holtz Mini Round Blending Tool and a Distress Sanding Disk.

I repeated the process with the Tim Holtz/Sizzix Vault Wildflowers Thinlits and fixed the die-cuts to the panels using Distress Collage Medium.

I trimmed one of the Wallflower Paper to create ephemera pieces, inked around the edges with Scorched Timber Distress Ink using a Tiny Blending Tool, fixed to the panels with Distress Collage Medium and inked around the edges of the panel with Scorched Timber Distress Ink.

I applied Distress Grit Paste Opaque through the Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Mini Dot Gradient Layering Stencil from Set 39.

I fixed the rabbits to the panels with 3D foam squares to create dimension, added White Hemp Twine, held in place with dots of Distress Collage Medium and added the letters and butterflies die-cut from the Sizzix Surfacez Revealz Sandable cardstock.

I added splatters of Dina Wakely Black Gloss Spray. I stamped the sentiments from Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Simple Sayings and Spring Shadows on to scraps of Distress Watercolor card, inked with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink, trimmed and used Wild Honey Distress Oxide ink and a Distress Tiny Blending Tool to add colour to the edges. To finish I matted the panels on to A2 white card blanks.
