Simon Says - Trees

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...

TREES

I created invitations for my Wicked Ghosties Halloween Party using Simon Says Stamp Scalloped Arches dies, Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Bottle Brush Trees, Tim Holtz/Sizzix Frightful Things Thinlits, Simon Says Stamp Homespun Halloween and Tim Holtz Tiny Text Halloween stamp and die bundles for  the sentiments.

I coloured A2 panels of Distress Watercolor card using Twisted Citron/Mowed Lawn, Spiced Marmalade/Gathered Twigs and Seedless Preserves/Wilted Violet Distress Oxide inks and die-cut using the largest Simon Says Stamp Scalloped Arches die.

I used the second largest die to create frames, rubbed Versafine Clair Nocturne ink pad over the frames to darken and fixed to White cardstock.

I stamped Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Bottlebrush Trees on to the insert panels, inked with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink and fixed back into the negative spaces.

I die-cut the ghosts, umpkins and spiders from Distress Watercolor card, Distress Black Heavystock and Simon Says Stamp Sunshine cardstock and added splatters of Gathered Twigs Distress Oxide ink to the ghosts.

I placed the pumpkin top layer to my Simon Says Stamp Black Stamp and Stencil Mat and added shading with Spiced Marmalade and Peeled Paint Distress Oxide inks using Detail Round Blending Brushes.

I fixed the ghosts and pumpkins to the panel popped up on Simon Says Stamp Black 3D Foam Squares, punched a hole in the top of the panel and added Black/White Bakers Twine.

I stamped the sentiments from Tim Holtz/Stampers Tiny Text Halloween and Simon Says Stamp Homespun Halloween on to Distress Black Heavystock, inked with White Pigment Ink, sprinkled with White Embossing Powder and heat set.

I die-cut using the Simon Says Stamp Tiny Text Halloween and Homespun Halloween co-ordinating dies and fixed to the panels with Black 3D Foam Squares.

To finish I fixed the die-cut spiders to the panels popped up on Black 3D Foam Squares, applied Ranger Glossy Accents to the bodies and when dry painted with Distress Antiqued Fine Liquid Tinsel.
