Simon Says - Monochrome

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...

MONOCHROME

I decorated a Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Mini Etcetera Tag using 49and Market Color Swatch Charcoal 6" x 8" patterned papers, Rub-on Transfers, Charcoal Acetate Assortment, Tim Holtz/Idea-ology Baseboard Window Frame, Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Mosaic Mini Layering Stencil from Set 28 and Distress Texture Paste Opaque Crackle. 

I trimmed one of the Color Swatch Charcoal patterned papers to fit the Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Mini Etcetera Tag and fixed in place using Distress Collage Medium and a Distress Collage Brush.

Once the paper was dry, I sanded the edges to remove excess paper using a Mini Round Blending Tool and Distress Sanding Disk. I applied Distress Texture Paste Opaque Crackle through Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Mosaic Mini Layering Stencil from Set 28.

I sanded a Tim Holtz/Idea-ology Baseboard Window Frame to lighten the colour and fixed to the tag with Distress Collage Medium.

I added Charcoal Rub-on Transfers, the flower/leaves, butterfly and colour strip from the Charcoal Acetate Assortment pack and added splatters of white and black gesso.

I used a Mini Round Blending Tool and black gesso to colour the edges of the tag and the reinforcer.

I dry brushed the reinforcer with white gesso to lighten and fixed in place with Distress Collage Medium.

I sprayed Distress Black Soot Spray Stain on to my glass media mat, dipped white ribbon into the stain repeatedly, sprayed with water until I was happy with the colour and dried.

I fixed the ribbon in place to create a hanger and added a bow.
