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...
FUN WITH ATC's
I created a trio of ATC Christmas Gift Card holders using Tim Holtz/Idea-ology Large Christmas Collage Strips, Flashcards, Postmarked and Christmas Sticker Books and Tim Holtz/Ranger Distress Texture Paste Twinkle with Stampers Anonymous Starry, Snowflakes and Poinsettia Layering Stencils to add texture and a splattering of Simon Says Pawsitively Perfect White Splatter Medium to give a snowy look.
I trimmed Distress Watercolor card to create 3 - 3.1/2" x 2.1/2" ATC panels and covered with the Christmas Large Collage Strips.
I sanded the edges of the ATC panels with a Distress Mini Round Blending Tool and Sanding Disk and fixed to Simon Says Stamp Schoolhouse Red card blanks, trimmed to be 1/8" larger.
I fixed Tim Holtz/Idea-ology Holiday Flashcards to the panels with Distress Collage Medium. These Holiday Flashcards are discontinued but I have linked to a newer version of Idea-ology Flashcards below which contain words that could also be suitable for Christmas
I applied Tim Holtz/Ranger Distress Texture Paste Twinkle through Stampers Anonymous Starry, Snowflake and Poinsettia Layering Stencils. Texture Paste Twinkle is a translucent gloss paste with added glitter which will dry clear but create texture on the panels.
After the paste had dried I inked over the flashcards with Scorched Timber Distress Ink using a Tiny Blending Tool, wiped the ink off the textured areas and added splatters of Simon Says Pawsitively Perfect White Splatter
I added stamps from Tim Holtz/Idea-ology Postmarked and the very last of the white Christmas Remnant Rubs from my stash. How I wish Tim would bring these back, living in hope. To finish I fixed the sentiments from Tim Holtz/Idea-ology Christmas Sticker Book to scraps of white card, trimmed, fixed to the cards using Simon Says Thin Foam Squares to create dimension.
