Kath's Blog......diary of the everyday life of a crafter: Simon Says

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...

SUMMERTIME BLUES

I created an Art Journal page using Tim Holtz/Idea-ology Snapshots, Photographic and Archives Collage Paper, Stampers Anonymous Mini Layering Stencils from Sets 9, 43 and 46 with Distress Oxide inks and Distress Opaque and Translucent Grit Paste.

I spritzed the pages of my Dina Wakley White 6" x 6" Media Journal with water, sprayed with Speckled Egg Distress Spray Stain, let the water work it's magic and dried.

I fixed a Tim Holtz/idea-ology SnapShot in place with Distress Collage Medium and applied Wild Honey Distress Oxide ink through the Splotches Mini Layering Stencil from Set 9.

I replaced the Splotches Mini Layering over the original stencilling, applied Distress Translucent Grit Paste to create texture and set aside to dry, I applied Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink through the Scales Mini Layering Stencil from Setr 46.

I fixed torn strips of Tim Holtz/Idea-ology Photographic Collage Paper in place using Distress Collage Medium and a Distress Collage Brush.

I applied Distress Opaque Grit Paste through the Grime Mini Layering Stencil from Set 43 to create more texture.

I trimmed the individual letters from Tim Holtz/Idea-ology Archives Collage Paper and fixed in place with Distress Collage Medium.

To finish I added Tim Holtz/Idea-ology Small Talk and Chit Chat Stickers.
